Royal Orchid Metropole

Step into a world of regal elegance and colonial grandeur at the Royal Orchid Metropole, a heritage gem nestled in the cultural heart of Mysuru. Once the stately guesthouse of the Wadiyar dynasty, this 1920s architectural marvel was built by the Maharaja of Mysore to host British dignitaries in unparalleled comfort. Today, it stands restored and resplendent—a seamless blend of aristocratic charm and modern sophistication spread across 2.5 acres of beautifully manicured lawns.

Just a short drive from Mysore Palace and 20 minutes from the famed Brindavan Gardens, the Metropole invites you to experience Mysuru’s royal past, with all the indulgences of contemporary hospitality. With spacious balconies, ornate archways, and vintage decor echoing the opulence of a bygone era, this grand hotel isn’t just a stay—it’s a chapter from history.

Why do we love the Royal Orchid Metropole?

We love the Royal Orchid Metropole because it offers an immersive heritage experience unlike any other in Mysuru. From its historic architecture to its luxurious rooms and celebrated restaurants, every detail honors the grandeur of the city’s royal lineage.

Perfectly positioned for explorations beyond the city—like Srirangapatana, Chamundi Hills, and the wildlife-rich Ranganathittu Sanctuary—this hotel is both a gateway and a haven. And with its famed Tiger Trail restaurant and retro-chic Skand’el bar, it’s clear why Royal Orchid Metropole isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a destination to remember.

What can I look forward to?

Experiences

Beyond the nostalgic corridors and lavish suites, Royal Orchid Metropole offers a collection of thoughtfully curated experiences. Whether you’re hosting a private celebration or a business retreat, the hotel’s three elegant banquet halls and expansive lawns create the perfect canvas for every occasion.
Cool off in the serene front courtyard pool, surrounded by heritage stonework and the scent of flowering trees. Rejuvenate in the fully-equipped gym or unwind in the children’s play zone while young ones get busy with games and PlayStation sessions.

Gastronomy

Dining at Royal Orchid Metropole is nothing short of regal.
Shikari, a lush outdoor setting under tree canopies and ambient lights, invites you to savor international grills and tender kebabs straight off the barbecue. For a journey through India's spice trails, Tiger Trail—the hotel’s iconic Indian restaurant—offers bold, authentic flavours in every bite. As the sun dips below Mysuru’s skyline, Skand’el, the vintage-style bar, comes alive with music, cocktails, and spirited conversation. And for a more relaxed tête-à-tête, High Tea Lounge sets the scene with warm brews, chilled pours, and light bites served with views of the garden.
