This noble white palace was built by Nawab Ibrahim Ali Khan and was designed by Heinz in 1935. The bedrooms are spacious, royal, dream spaces with old-style baths, while the table is fine Nawabi cuisine with Bhopal-Rampur savours. A magnificient conference room retains the flavour of historic meetings where you too can confer.
InterestingFact: This palace apparently is the home of cricket legend Nawab Mansur Ali Khan - better known as Tiger; his wife Sharmila Tagore and son Saif Ali Khan (yes you read it right...) and their gorgeous daughter Soha Ali Khan!
