Taj Palace, Lucknow

Taj Palace, Lucknow is a contemporary Taj address in Gomti Nagar, a newer side of the city where business districts, parks and broad avenues set a different rhythm from Lucknow’s old quarters. The hotel’s design takes its cue from a “Lost Forest” concept, using foliage, organic textures and natural light to soften its urban setting. Its 181 rooms and suites provide a calm base for business trips, celebrations and city breaks, with Taj Club accommodation adding lounge access. Dining moves from artisanal teas, coffee and light plates at Bistrot to Chinese cooking at House of Ming, all-day Indian and international dishes at Machan, and whisky-led evenings at Shadow & Oak. Facilities include J Wellness Circle Spa, a fitness centre, a rooftop swimming pool, extensive event spaces and The Chambers, the brand’s private business club.
