Ramayana, Arabian Nights or Sanjay Bhansali’s larger-than-life period dramas—we’ve had enough #FOMO staring at the oh-so-grand living since childhood, haven’t we? So, let’s just do it then. Let’s take off for a vacation at the Mysore Maharaja’s very own summer palace. Preserved at its authentic best and equipped with the most premium contemporary amenities (they know we can’t do without the Wi-Fi), it is now famous by the name ‘Ferrnhills Royale Palace’ – a luxury heritage hotel in Ooty.

The First Impression

Live Truly Like Royalty

Fernshill-Palace

Here comes the best part! When you check into Ferrnhills Royale Palace, you don’t just get a room or an ordinary suite to luxuriate in, you get your very own majestic apartment, flaunting class-apart vintage décor.

19 lavish accommodations span across this hotel, each flaunting separate bedrooms, living areas, dressing rooms, verandas and elaborate bathrooms with private Jacuzzis.

The Burmese teak furniture, the large bay windows, antique chandeliers and the colonial décor will transport you back in time. When you almost get convinced that it isn’t the 21st century and you probably have an ornate crown on your head, you’ll be surprised to find the most modern amenities like LCD televisions, mini-bars tea/coffee makers and more at your disposal too.

How About a Royal Feast?

The multi-cuisine in-house restaurant named ‘Curry & Rice’ flaunts a resplendent Victorian set-up that will make your inner royalty whisper, “Serve his/her highness!” Within the extensive multi-cuisine menu of mouthwatering delicacies, lies amazing choices of Anglo-Indian food as well which you just can’t miss.

If you are not high on these experiences yet, check out the classic collections of the bar and get the party started.

What’s Around?
