Lalitha Mahal Palace Hotel Mysuru

Lalitha Mahal Palace Hotel is one of India’s most magnificent and historically extraordinary palace hotels, a ITDC-managed heritage property occupying the breathtaking 1921 Lalitha Mahal Palace built by the Maharaja of Mysore for the exclusive use of the then Viceroy of India, Lord Reading — a spectacular Tuscan and Renaissance-influenced white marble palace perched dramatically on a hilltop overlooking Mysuru with unobstructed views of the Chamundi Hills and the Mysore Palace illuminated spectacularly every Sunday evening. The hotel offers 54 rooms and suites in palace configurations including family suite categories, all with free high-speed Wi-Fi, premium bedding, flat-screen TVs, and elegantly appointed private bathrooms in the original palace chambers. A swimming pool, a billiards room in the original palace billiard hall, a restaurant serving South Indian, Mysoreian, and Continental cuisine in the grand marble-columned dining hall, a spa, and a 24-hour concierge complete the exceptional heritage amenities. The Mysore Palace — one of India’s most visited and luminously beautiful royal palaces, illuminated by 100,000 bulbs every Sunday — is twenty-five minutes by taxi. Chamundi Hills and the Chamundeshwari Temple are fifteen minutes by road from the palace. Brindavan Gardens at the Krishnaraja Sagar Dam, famous for its spectacular musical fountain, is forty minutes by road. Lalitha Mahal Palace Hotel is consistently cited as one of India’s most extraordinary heritage hotel experiences.
