What they say
UK Hot List
Condé Nast Traveler
2026
The Oberoi Rajgarh Palace appears like a post-impressionist vision, its beige crown backdropped by the freckled green of the Maniyagarh hills.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Naturalist safaris explore nearby Panna Tiger Reserve, while the historic stone carvings of Khajuraho sit half an hour down the road.
The rooms
Ash-grey chanderi curtains frame garden terraces below, while restored palace wing suites feature open-to-sky bathtubs looking toward Panna National Park.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A temperature-controlled pool reflects the multi-level sandstone fortress, and secluded villas open onto their own plunge pools.
The spa & gym
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Linen-draped tables sit beneath carved stone pillars and crystal chandeliers, serving heritage recipes from the Bundela royal kitchens.
How it began
Bundela king Raja Hindupat Singh commissioned the original fortress in the seventeenth century, complete with an administrative kachehri and Mastani gate.
