Palanpur
Palace was constructed more than a century ago by Nawab Sher Mohammed
Khan of Palanpur state. Later his son Nawab Taley Mohammed Khan took keen
interest and further furnished it to make it an ideal summer Palace. The
present Iqabal Mohammmed Khan provided more glory and glamour to this
palace, to stand out amongst other palaces. It was Nawab Taley Mohammed
Khan, who had the noble idea of converting a part of this Palace from
1923 to 1936 for Hotel purpose. It was named "MOUNT HOTEL" and
later an Englishman named it as "Hotel Skeltania".
Now
Palanpur Palace is Heritage Hotel. It keeps alive the tradition and culture
