HOTEL IDEAS
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.
Bearing resemblance to a Swiss chalet, Fernhills Royale Palace exudes the essence of the bygone royalty from every nook and corner. A feeling of pleasure will engulf you as you enter this lush green, 50-acre property, adorned with manicured gardens and dense forests. Looking out at the magnificent Nilgiris it also offers breathtaking views of the verdant valleys and tea gardens.

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.
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.
This estate is at an enviable location that keeps the urban pandemonium at bay and makes major tourist spots easily accessible. It is a 10 minutes’ drive from the Rose Garden and Ooty Lake, and 30 minutes from the Doddabetta viewpoint. So, there’s never a dull time when you put up at Ferrnhills Royale Palace.
Tariff: Starting from INR 9,500*
