Nestling snug in one of the most popular hill resorts of India-Nainital, is the summer palace of the 'Rajas of Awagarh'-The Palace Belvedere. Built nearly a century ago by Raja Balwant Singh OBE, CIE of Awagarh in 1897, The Palace Belvedere today is an epitome of regal gracious living. With 18 rooms and suites, the hotel offers a panoramic view of the famous Naini Lake. Now renovated and refurbished, this stately colonial mansion still retains its unique, original and highly distinctive character, and is now run as a Heritage hotel under the personal supervision of the present royal family.
