If you stay at the Royal Orchid Brindavan Garden Palace & Spa in Mysuru, you will be experiencing a page of Karnataka’s history. The impressive building which today is the Royal Orchid Brindavan Garden Palace & Spa must have witnessed the making of history, with the building of the KRS (Krishna Raja Sagar), construction of which began in 1911 and was completed in 1931. 

 Hotel Overlooking The Brindavan Gardens

The magnificent columns of what is the hotel today must have been privy to the conversations that the Mysore Maharaja Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV must have had with the then Chief Engineer of Mysore, Sir M. Visvesvaraya, as the KRS Dam took shape. We were honoured to stay at this historic hotel while on the Discover Mysuru programme, and here is our experience of our stay at this heritage hotel.

“This was built by Maharaja Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV about 100 years ago. Initially, it was built as a place where the King could stay and supervise the construction of the KRS dam,” said TJ, GM of Royal Orchid Brindavan Garden Palace & Spa, during a tete-a-tete with us. He also informed us that the hotel was the venue of many historic meetings, as many dignitaries used to visit during the British era.
