Usha Kiran

Known for its lavish lifestyle and hospitality, the hotel exudes true Gwalior tradition from the welcome, the food and suites. The regal, though smaller palace is set amidst nine acres of rolling lawns with stone carvings and intricate filigree work. Divans, silk drapes, mirrors lamps and mosaic walls mark the luxury rooms, while the suites take it up a notch or two with Chanderi curtains, canopied beds and historic artefacts decorating the shelves. Opt for the villa for sheer luxury and lounge in your private pool, just like King George VI, perhaps did when he visited the palace.
