A place to visit in 2011



After being in the foreign press for all the wrong reason we're finally in it for the right ones . Hyderabad has been chosen as one of NY Times' 41 places to visit in 2011 (we're No. 19 on the list btw.
And all of that's down to two very good reasons - The Park Hyderabad and the Taj Falaknuma Palace. You couldn't find anything more disparate - the former a modern "design" hotel, the latter a renovated palace that's all about the luxe.
My pick - Falaknuma. Taj has made it an experience to remember and Sir Vicar-ul- Umra really knew what he was about when he picked the spot for his home. (The sixth Nizam knew what he was about when he accepted it as a gift too.) The picture above is of the 101-seater dining table.
State banquet anybody?
