Spread across
18 acres, the Noor-Us-Sabah Palace was originally built as a royal residence in
the 1920s by Bhopal’s ruler, Begum Sultan Jehan.
Converted into a hotel in 1998, the property will be
completely renovated to bring alive the history and legacy of the royal residence through its interior design and
storied past.
The hotel will also provide a distinctive and unique
location for weddings and events, in addition to catering to
business and leisure travelers.
Located in one
of Bhopal’s most affluent neighborhoods, the hotel offers a
commanding view of the Upper Lake - one of the largest artificial
lakes in the country.

established itself as an exemplary destination for those seeking a
comfortable stay and delightful food, all in the environs of a

building and the city. We are certain that the combination of our
expertise in India’s real estate and hospitality market and
