The horse carriage arrival made us feel like Nizams! Our suite had original 19th-century furniture restored to perfection. The Hyderabadi dinner in the Jade Room was the most memorable meal of our lives. The palace historian's tour revealed fascinating stories about the Nizam era.
A once-in-a-lifetime experience! The library with rare books and the Venetian chandeliers took our breath away. Only reason not 5 stars is that the wifi in our room was occasionally slow - but honestly, you shouldn't be working when surrounded by such beauty!
