Usha Kiran Palace is a heritage hotel, located near Jai Vilas Mahal on a 9 acre land in Gwalior built by the royal Scindia dynasty of the Marathas.[1] The management of the five-star hotel is done by Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces.[2] The hotel makes use of solar power energy [3] produced at Kadodiya Solar Park, which has been built by Vivaan Solar.[4]
History
It was built in 1902 as a home for visitors of Prince of Wales. It later became the guest house of Jivajirao Scindia[5] where he brought Vijayarae Scindia after the marriage.[6]
Subsequently moving from Mumbai to Gwalior, Priyadarshini Raje Scindia transformed the Palace into a hotel.[7] The Palace has preserved its tradition with the usage of rosewood elevator from 1930 and two-blade ceiling fans.[8]
