Property Description
The Orchard Palace was built as an annex of the Huzoor Palace, the family residence, in the late-19th century to host personal guests of the Maharajas. Converted into a seven-room heritage hotel, it is appointed with 1930s and 40s art deco furniture, antiques and handicrafts.The property gets its name from the lime, chikoo and mango groves it faces to the rear. More than 80 peacocks and peahens inhabit the gardens, and a variety of other birds can be watched while walking around the grounds.One of the highlights of the palace is the Rail Saloon of the royal family of Gondal. This saloon has been converted into a suite for a couple or a family to stay with drawing room, dining room and bedroom, beautifully finished with inlaid wood, and English washrooms with a telephonic shower.

We did not stay at Orchard Palace. But went to see the palaces and had lunch there. We had a wonderful experience at their restaurant. The staff was kind enough to accommodate us though we did not have a prior booking. All dishes were delicious and were informed how the food is prepared in the main palace kitchen under instructions from the Rajmata herself. Staff were very courteous and warm. There is vintage car collection to see at Orchard palace and Naulakha palace has lots of other collections which can easily take 3 hrs to see. Palaces are closed between 1 to 3 pm for visitors.

A very odd place. Plus are the staff if you can find them and the excellent food. Negatives - very run down room furnished with charity shop furniture. Happy valley garden is nice if you like plaster flamingos. This is no palace. Not sure what the alternatives are in Gondal.

One of our best "hotels" ever - it`s a real palace and you can see and feel it. Enormous rooms, common rooms full with precious furniture and objects of art. A walk through the garden and to the car collection is absolutely necessary. The staff declares you everything - even the food for us foreigners!

A palace converted into a Resort, a wonderful experience.The management had taken great care while renovating the palace. They have combined ,modern facilities while retaining the palace ambiance as far as possible. Rooms are very spacious with a huge anteroom and toilet.Very good for families with kids. Great ambiance with Peacocks moving all around. The collection of vintage cars 🚘 is an added attraction. Please don’t miss it. I have never seen such a collection under one roof.All the vehicles are in workable condition and very well maintained. Should be recommended for Geneses book of records . Food served is excellent with special emphasis on local cuisine. The staff members are very friendly and well behaved. Keep it up.

I felt like like in a second home ! The staff is so wonderful and care for their guests! Food is so good, everything harvested in the palace! Definitely I will come back on my next trip to India and stay again in Orchard Palace! Ask for the car collection and Yitu !

What a delightful place! Do not miss the exotic organic food from their own farm. The amazing vintage car collection, decor, lifestyle is a trip back in history. The train fitted in with the classy royal pleasures of yesteryears us not to be missed either. What with the peacoks around, just needed the rain clouds to see their full glory. Just need the WiFi connectivity in the room and satellite TV. Dining room needs the coolness to enjoy the scrumptious food even more. Excellent staff, professional and easy. Generous service. Overall, a must visit.

We have spent one night in this hotel and we have simple loved it. The room is very wide and comfortable, the garden is large and well kept. There are lots of peacocks running around. And the staff is very kind and welcoming. Also the food is very good and well prepared. In a word, fabulous!

When we arrived there was not a soul in sight. When I dared to explore inside after waiting for some time, desk manager Parth who was inside apologised that all staff was busy attending the prince in his diwali party at home. We were kept waiting. Inspite of advance booking they did not bother to make any arrangements for our arrival. No welcome drink. Nothing. One guy who came after 30 mins repeated the same story of party…. No option to take lunch as he said you have to inform in advance…. Lunch or dinner is charged at 850 plus taxes.we did not try. The rooms are big and tastefully decorated. The fan was not working though. The complimentary breakfast was average. When we asked for more fresh juice, they said we made only one glass per person😂. The vintage car collection is one of the best… stay only if you want to feel the grandeur of the place…. Else avoid…. Not value for money… and stay if you want to be royally ignored😂

Oh to live royally for a night! Huge rooms, staff who look and act as courtiers and food which is served in style. The facilities could be spruced up a little especially in the washrooms where certain basic amenities are lacking or have not been repaired,viz., soap dish in the shower area etc.
