History
It was built in 1902 as a home for visitors of Prince of Wales. It later became the guest house of Jivajirao Scindia where he brought Vijayarae Scindia after the marriage.
Subsequently moving from Mumbai to Gwalior, Priyadarshini Raje Scindia transformed the Palace into a hotel. The Palace has preserved its tradition with the usage of rosewood elevator from 1930 and two-blade ceiling fans.
