The food was amazing, and the staff and service were outstanding. This lovely boutique hotel near Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is run by a courteous family who go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. The property itself is awesome.

More than just a stay, it offered a lovely glimpse into history and culture, and into what makes India, India. An absolutely exceptional experience.

The hospitality really makes the palace special. The royal family often talks with guests and shares stories and history, which makes the stay feel personal and meaningful. Meals are another highlight, with freshly made Kathiawadi food using local ingredients and plenty of care. Every meal feels like a royal feast.
