It was in the year 1989 that  the Government of India decided to convert the palace into a heritage hotel, as it continues to be till date.

History

The young prince of Nizam VII, Moazzam Jah who used to reside in this beautiful Hill Palace, which was constructed by Sir Nizamat Jung in 1915. He was an asthma-patient and was told to live in an environment free of dust. It was then that the young prince decided to build this palace and it had a spectacular view of the Bella House and the Husain Sagar lake. It was  constructed in the year 1905. At that time, the palace took one Lac of rupees to build which was indeed a very big sum of money at that time.

Architecture

The famous historian Narender Luther once said that the architectural style of the palace was based on Trinity College, Cambridge. It was built in the backyard of Naubhat Pahad in 1915 by Sir Nizamat Jung.
