The LaLiT Grand Palace Srinagar

Came across this place while searching on google. It’s an erstwhile palace of Maharaja of Kashmir. Extravagant in size & scope. Spread in roughly 40 acres. Adorned with gardens & forest in the back. We visited The Chinar restaurant where the head chef was helpful enough to accommodate our food request of gluten & onion free. The manager Mr Sharma was attentive & also gave us the tour of the property / rooms. Staff was courteous as well. An awesome property mixing the old & new with grand lobbies, delicious restaurants & has an old world charm attached to it

It’s an erstwhile Palace converted into a Hotel. The Lalit Grand Palace is a huge property with sprawling lawns . We were there for a conference . The rooms on ground floor were elegant and spacious . There was a sit out which further extends to the lawns . We had breakfast and lunch in the garden area which was quite refreshing. Food was good , service was courteous. It was a great stay .

Had lunch here—what a stunning property! The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the ambience is super relaxing. The food was delicious. Service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. Definitely a memorable experience. Perfect place to unwind and enjoy a great meal with a nice view. Would love to visit again

I had the opportunity to stay at The Lalit Grand Palace for three days in Aug due to an emergency. I would like to sincerely thank the hotel management for their outstanding support during my stay, especially Ms. Sheleela Kour, the manager, whose help and cooperation were truly commendable. The staff was professional, caring, and attentive to every detail. The food was extremely hygienic and well-prepared, which made my stay even more comfortable. The overall environment of the hotel was calm, clean, and very well maintained. I am truly grateful for the hospitality and support I received and highly recommend The Lalit Grand Palace for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-managed place to stay.......

I wanna point out something which I have never experienced being someone who works in Dubai and have travelled more than 10 countries. The respect and humility I experience and receive once I leave India, is gracious and modest. Then I come to think of it, why I felt discriminated or an outsider on my own beloved land when we Kashmiris are the most hospitable in nature, while I’ve met and worked w ppl of multiple nationalities. The whole point is the security management in Lalit are Indians and not Kashmiris. And they try their level best to make it miserable for us. (Because they do not respect their religion we follow or how beautiful we look). I had my lunch and paid and moved around to take a stroll on which the guard made multiple excuses on how not doing anything on the property was illicit. And three times, three guards were sent to me to convey the same message. And eventually I had to leave because I didn’t felt a speck of hostility or even welcomed and not just that the officer plotted against me to make me leave. Lastly, I see it as bias, prejudice and discrimination against a particular race (Kashmiris) on our own land. Never felt as an outsider on my own land but thanks to Lalit and the most pathetic and hostile service I have ever experienced and don’t even get me started on food quality.
