WelcomHeritage Fernhills Royal Palace

WelcomHeritage Fernhills Royal Palace, spread over 50 acres of state with sprawling Greenwood, was the residence of the onetime king of Mysore. Built-in 1844, this palace resembles a Swiss chalet and is superbly finished with Burmese teak, featuring a magnificent ballroom with a high vaulted ornamental Papier-mâché ceiling. The lobby of the palace boasts beautiful artifacts and handmade paintings of all the yesteryear rulers. Interestingly, all the rooms of the palace are addressed as suites due to their opulence and grandeur, making it one of the best hotels in Ooty. Standing against the beautiful Nilgiri Hills, enveloped with tea gardens and cardamom plantations, the palace was once a stamping ground for British elites. To escape the scorching summers of South India, high-ranking Britishers undertook Fernhills as their retreat. This quaint scenery of Ooty was widely enjoyed by Indian and British nonpareils. It also once served as one of the earliest club hotels during the times of the British Raj, further cementing its status as a premier heritage resort in Ooty. Although India is free from the shackles of colonialism, Ooty has still preserved its ethereal beauty with a whisper of charming English influence. The majestic “Queen of Hills” is one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. With its wide expanse of hills and serenity, tourists visit Ooty for family vacations, romantic getaways, or simply a weekend of relaxation, making it one of the most versatile Ooty hotels and resorts. Whether submitting to the mesmerizing beauty of the Nilgiri Mountains while sipping freshly brewed tea, exploring the bustling town, or riding the Nilgiri Toy Train—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—Ooty will win you over. Even after two centuries of its existence, WelcomHeritage Fernhills Royal Palace continues to entice guests with beauty, heritage, history, and glamour.
