The Fernhills Palace, Ooty, Summer palace in Ooty, India
The Fernhills Palace stands across 50 acres of land with dense woodlands, tea gardens, and cardamom plantations in the Nilgiri Hills of Tamil Nadu.
Built in 1844 by Captain F. Cotton as a private residence, the palace later became a summer retreat for the Maharaja of Mysore during British rule.
The palace incorporates Gothic architecture with Swiss chalet elements, featuring Burmese teak finishes, carved wooden bargeboards, and a vaulted Papier-mâché ceiling ballroom.
The WelcomHeritage hotel provides multi-cuisine dining options, conference facilities, wedding venues, and arranges outdoor activities in the surrounding gardens.
An indoor badminton court designed as a church structure represents the colonial influence on recreational spaces within the palace grounds.
