The imposing structure of Rajendra Vilas Palace, is located 1000 feet above the city in the picturesque backdrop of Chamundi Hills around 13 kms south east of Mysore. Known for its splendid decor and architectural splendor, Rajendra Vilas is one of the best example of Indo-Saracenic architecture, with a strong Rajput flavour. The central dome of the palace, that resembles Mysore Palace, rests on a high neck and four chhatris built distinctly in Rajasthani style surrounds the central dome. A semi-circular verandah to the north provides a panoramic view of the city. The first floor opens to spacious terraces adjoining the chhatris.

Once the summer palace of the erstwhile Mysore Royal family, Rajendra Vilas Palace became the property of Karnataka Government when Mysore merged with the state and was converted into a heritage hotel. The sprawling 45 to 50 suites of the hotel are adorned with elegant furniture and exquisite paintings. ll modern and deluxe amenities are made available to the guests residing here.
