An old-luxury hotel that's tantalisingly close to the wonders of the Old City
The Taj Krishna is located near the Old City of Hyderabad, deep in the Banjara Hills on 13 acres of lush green grounds, with views of the heart-shaped Hussain Sagar lake. Such a placement makes it an ideal spot for history buffs looking to get under the skin of the Hyderabad of old, as well as travellers looking explore its modern twin, Secunderabad. A stalwart on the Hyderabad hotel scene, the Krishna is proudly traditional and prides itself on good, friendly service, always with a smile. Add in the lovely swimming pool and those beautiful grounds, and it's a great all-rounder.

Out-of-this-world opulence perched high above the twinkling lights of the City of Pearls.
From the moment you travel to the doorway in horse-drawn carriage and find yourself showered with fragrant rose petals, you'll realise that the Taj Falaknuma Palace is anything but subtle. And how could it be? Previously belonging to Hyderabad’s Nizam (rumoured once to be the richest man in the world), this spectacular edifice drew its architectural inspiration from The White House and Buckingham Palace so really, it was never going to be anything less than grand! Set on a 32-acre hillside estate and perched a staggering 2000-feet above the city, it truly is a castle in the clouds.
