A four star luxury heritage hotel, Royal Orchid Metropole is steeped in the history and culture of Mysore. Its imperial arches, imposing pillars and ornate corridors capture the old world charm of this majestic guesthouse built by the former Maharaja of Mysore for his distinguished British guests. Vintage car tours, readings by astrologers, Ayurvedic massages, yoga lessons, dancers and musicians provide a delightful insight into local culture while jesters, snake charmers and magicians, on the other hand, transform your weekend getaway into a magical experience.
