A Restored Maharaja’s Palace in Dogra Style
From Gulab Bhavan to palace hotel
The property was originally begun in 1910 as Gulab Bhavan, a summer residence for the Dogra royal family. It was converted into The Grand Palace hotel in 1956, later restored and expanded under Bharat Hotels, and rebranded under The LaLiT in 2008.
European form, Dogra detail
The twin-storey palace-style building combines European architectural influences with traditional Dogra design. Colonnaded verandahs, symmetrical stone masonry, high ceilings, formal halls and richly crafted interiors continue the historic palace language.
The historic Durbar Hall
A notable architectural feature is the Durbar Hall, associated with an early earthquake-resistant system in the subcontinent. Its palace-style proportions, high ceilings and elegant carpeting preserve the building’s ceremonial character.
Palace Rooms, Suites and Garden Cottages
113 rooms, suites and cottages
The accommodation collection comprises 113 palace rooms and suites, including 10 cottages. The range preserves a traditional atmosphere while incorporating the modern amenities expected within the restored palace setting.
Ancient Chinar and valley outlooks
The hotel’s room descriptions emphasize views across landscaped gardens and ancient Chinar trees, while the wider palace setting looks toward the valley. Suites and cottages extend the accommodation choice beyond the principal palace rooms.
Chinar Gardens and All-Day Dining
The Chinar Garden and The Chinar
The Chinar Garden serves North Indian cuisine, while The Chinar – The All Day Coffee Shop provides international buffet spreads. Together, they cover regional dining and all-day international service within the palace property.
Buffets, garden meals and Dal Bar
The dining programme includes buffet breakfast, al fresco meals in the palace grounds, Dal Bar and 24-hour room service. The formats range from casual coffee-shop service to outdoor dining and drinks.
Chinar-Shaded Grounds with Valley Outlooks
Landscaped palace grounds
Sprawling landscaped gardens and formal lawns form the outdoor setting, with ancient Chinar trees and views toward the valley. The grounds support outdoor recreation and al fresco dining while maintaining the atmosphere of a former royal estate.
Heated indoor pool
The property’s indoor pool is heated and open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Descriptions also associate the pool area with views and a pool bar, extending the indoor leisure space beyond swimming.
Spa Treatments, Indoor Swimming and Palace Recreation
Full-service spa and thermal facilities
The spa offers massages, body treatments and facials. Additional wellness facilities include a sauna and hot tub, providing treatment and thermal options alongside the indoor heated pool.
Gym and tennis courts
A state-of-the-art gymnasium supports indoor exercise, while tennis courts provide an outdoor activity within the landscaped grounds. These facilities complement the hotel’s spa and pool programme.
A Quiet Heritage Base near Dal Lake
Srinagar’s prominent Gupkar corridor
The hotel is situated in one of Srinagar’s prominent elevated corridors, an area associated with major residences, luxury hotels and access toward the city’s lake and central districts. Its palace grounds provide a quieter setting than a dense urban hotel.
Close to Dal Lake and the tulip garden
The setting provides access to the Dal Lake area and central Srinagar attractions. Indira Gandhi Tulip Garden is approximately 3 km away by road, placing a major seasonal garden attraction within a short drive.
Airport access across Srinagar
Srinagar International Airport is approximately 18 km from the property, providing a defined road connection between the palace setting and the city’s principal air gateway.
