Usha Kiran Palace |
Usha Kiran Palace is a heritage hotel, adjacent to 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]
It was built in 1902 as a guest residence for the Prince of Wales who was visiting. It later became the guest house of Jivajirao Scindia [5] where he brought Vijayaraje Scindia after the marriage. [6]
Subsequently moving from Mumbai to Gwalior, Priyadarshini Raje Scindia, the wife of Jyotiraditya 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]
