Taj Usha Kiran Palace Gwalior

The Taj Usha Kiran Palace is a heritage hotel built on a 9-acre land parcel, adjacent to the Jai Vilas Mahal, the residence of the Scindia Dynasty. The palace was built by the royal family of Gwalior to house guests for the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1902. It later became the guest house of the royal family. Subsequently, Maharani Shrimant Priyadarshini Raje Scindia, the wife of Maharaj Shrimant Jyotiraditya Scindia, transformed the Palace into a hotel.
