This is a worthy choice if you want to stay in a palace. It’s located just outside the city walls, less than 10 minutes’ walk from Chandpol (a gateway to the Old City). There’s a swimming pool, a handsome wood-panelled library and three restaurants. The hotel has oodles of heritage atmosphere, with antique furnishings and mementos.
