The Usha Kiran Palace was built in the late 19th century and has played host to the King of England and many other celebrities.  It has now been converted into a charming heritage hotel operated by the prestigious Taj Hotels and Resorts group. Set amidst 9 acres of beautifully landscaped lawns, this regal palace, rich in history, is outfitted with artistic stone carvings and delicate filigree work.

Light, airy, and modern, these rooms offer fine views and characteristic décor.  Well equipped with guest amenities including verandahs, international direct dial facility, minibar, and colour satellite TV.
