If there is one thing the Nizams got right, among various others, it was their opulent lifestyle. Named as Mirror of the Sky, its cascading gardens, Venetian décor, and European interiors transport you to the Renaissance ages. Fitted with marble flooring and facing the courtyard as tradition demanded ages ago, the well-preserved luxury rooms here will make you squeal with delight. Situated 609 metres above sea level, this palace offers an authentic glimpse into Nizam life, complete with horse-drawn carriages, elegant staircases, and 60 rooms and suites that provide expansive vistas with an encompassing view of the 400-year-old city of Hyderabad. Dine at their fine-dining establishment, Adaa, begin your day with a royal breakfast at Gol Bungalow, and catch some high tea at Celeste. This is Nizam living at its finest!
