Taj Falaknuma Palace

On a 2000-foot high hill, Taj Falaknuma Palace is located just at a distance of 5 km from the historic monument, Charminar. Built by the Nawab Vikar-ul-Umra, it took close to 9 long years for its completion. However, later in 1897, it was purchased by Nizam VI to serve the purpose of a royal guest house.

Spread across an area of 32 acres, the palace has been constructed with marble and is often referred as the ‘mirror of the sky’.

In 2000, it was taken over by Taj Group and converted into a 5 star luxury hotel, although the essence has still been preserved with much caution.
