LIVE IN A COLONIAL BUNGALOW IN GWALIOR

Awaken history in a char-bagh where Mughal emperors once camped. Surrounded by exquisite temples, blooming greenery, regal dining, and comfortable stays in Gwalior’s heritage, as DeoBagh Gwalior opens doors for all and one.

Standing as a portrayal of glorious royal India as one of the best heritage hotels in the country, there’s an unusual charm about staying at this property. According to history, Sardar Deorao Bhausaheb Jadhav and his son Sardar Krishnarao Deorao Jadhav converted the chhattis-dari (36-pillared pavilion) into a summer house, and that’s how Deo Bagh came into being.

The garden complex houses the most exquisite family temples, a ‘hathi khana’ for elephants, stables and cenotaphs. Important Gwalior State meetings, especially against the British – when the valiant Rani of Jhansi fought from the fort rampart close by, were held here during that time.

Thus, staying at Deo Bagh makes your experience of exploring Gwalior even more remarkable. It makes you step back in time and revel in the glories and mysteries of the past.
