It’s one thing to live like the Maharajas, but to celebrate like the royals is a whole new experience. The Narain Niwas Palace has recently become home to one of the most opulent bars in the country – the Bar Palladio. The rich blue and white décor reminds you of a royal time in India, but with a slightly European influence. It doesn’t exactly qualify as affordable; the vast list of cocktails, wines and spirits will leave you feeling spoilt for choice while you sit back and take in the grandeur of it all.
