Detail InformationEdit

The Chowmahalla Palace, once, used to serve as a royal entertainment site for the Nizams. Almost 2 centuries later, it still dazzles the visitors with its unique architectural style and elegance. To see a fairytale come to life, come to Chowmahalla Palace. Sparkling fountains, lush gardens and in the midst of it all, a pretty white palace–these are the things that fairytales are made of. Though most of what you see today is restored work, the old charm of the place has been duplicated as closely as possible. Today, Chowmahalla serves as an exclusive party venue, and hosts a lot of corporate parties and other big social events. As you step in the chandelier-lit Durbar Hall, the Belgian crystals glittering above and the white marbled floors with a mirror finish polish below, will transport you to a different world. And wait till you see the other royal artifacts and decorations. Well, be ready for more of the breathtaking tour as Chowmahalla is comprised of not only one, but four palaces.
