Taj Usha Kiran Palace, like first ray of Sun, a translation of its evocative name - rises on the Gwalior horizon inviting global travelers to experience the artistic opulence, royal lineage and exceptional musical legacy of central India. Taj Usha Kiran Palace transports guests to a bygone era of nobility and genteel glamor. Spread over nine acres of landscaped estate in Gwalior, adjacent to The Jai Vilas Palace, The Usha Kiran Palace was built in 1880 by HH Maharajah Jayaji Rao Scindia of the Maratha dynasty and has hosted royalty and dignitaries on myriad occasions. Overlooking the Gwalior Fort - one of India’s most impenetrable fortresses, Taj Usha Kiran Palace echoes the valor of the city’s erstwhile rulers, engulfing guests in an ethereal time capsule. The moment you arrive at the Palace, you’re welcomed in a ceremonial horse-drawn carriage following in the footsteps of world dignitaries who have visited the Palace through the decades. Meticulously restored, the Palace retains its a profound sense of history, with a flourish of contemporary tropical style and luxurious amenities. Earthy ochery and fresh green palette in the lobby mirrors, manicured gardens with swaying palms, spectacular Navtal Swimming Pool, landscape of bridges and moats with peripheral child pool and lounging deck, are at the heart of the Palace’s public spaces. The progressive and artistic history of the Scindias unfolds on guided heritage walks within the Palace. The walks conducted by our historian replete with intriguing tales of century old elevator made by Marryat & Scott Ltd, London and vintage letter boxes, transport you into a mesmerizing world. The Palace immerses guests in Gwalior’s exceptional lineage of craft, architecture and rich textiles, while reverberating with an inimitable musical heritage reflecting the Gwalior gharana - A fountainhead of Indian Classical Music. With 50 guest rooms including immaculately appointed pool-facing luxury tents that offer a glamping experience, the Palace provides for intimate getaways as well as grand celebrations. A tribute to the glorious Maratha royal heritage, the Palace offers finest dining experiences with its closely guarded royal delicacies, robust home-style regional dishes and global cuisine served at Silver Saloon, the all-day diner. Bada Bar, designed for refined socializing over a prized selection of wine and liqueurs, reveals a secret private spot tucked away within its retro-luxe interiors. The Palace’s impeccably manicured lawns serve as magical outdoor venue that can host grandest of events. The State Room – a ballroom evoking royal grandeur provides for an exceptional venue for corporate and social gatherings. The Palace offers a state-of-the-art fitness center and a royal J Wellness Circle Spa, which envelopes you in ancient Indian wellness therapies with its signature treatments that harmonize your mind and body. Our concierge would be happy to arrange a city tour for your group, and all else your heart desires. The Palace invites you to experience the finest traditions of Maratha hospitality and get a glimpse in to a bygone era leaving you enchanted for a lifetime.
