Ran Baas The Palace in Patiala, Punjab, is an authentic Maharaja palace, a property that once was home to the prince’s wives. A major renovation, overseen by renowned Indian architect Abha Narain Lambah, has restored the magnificent original features. Richly carved wood furnishings, gilded frescoes, marble floors, silk carpets, and crystal chandeliers combine to give Ran Baas The Palace a sumptuous atmosphere with the splendor of centuries past. The rooms and suites offer guests the tranquility and pleasures of spacious patios or gardens. The Neel restaurant take diners into the realm of Punjabi flavors with regional cuisine enriched by the influence of local bazaars, while The Patiala Bar embodies Punjabi hospitality and the spirit of celebration. It is a journey to a timeless India that can be prolonged with a cooking class, a walk through the market, or a massage at the spa.
Aura Spa
Sheltered by the sandstone walls of the former palace of Nabha, Aura Spa is nestled in the former royal kitchens. Deploying a bol kansa on the body’s marma points, using saffron-infused pouches or applying Patiala rose oil during a massage: here, each ritual perpetuates the art of self-care just as it was practised at court, combining Ayurvedic technique with royal tradition.
