## Our read

Srinagar is still sold as a houseboat. This hotel is a palace built in 1910 by Maharaja Pratap Singh, above Dal Lake, with 113 rooms of which 10 are cottages, an indoor pool, and a chinar the hotel says was where Gandhi met Hari Singh. The lake is the view. The boat is a different booking, on the water. Come if the palace, the tree, and a winter pool are the point. Skip it if you wanted to sleep on the lake itself, or if you needed a small house rather than a 113-room palace that also hosts events.

## Come here for

- A 1910 palace above Dal Lake, rather than a houseboat
- One of 10 cottages, or a palace room, once you have asked which you are in
- An indoor pool when the valley is cold

## Skip it if

- You wanted a houseboat. This building is on the shore, looking at the lake.
- You want a hotel that does not host events. It prints more than 4,000 square feet of them.

## The place

The LaLiT Grand Palace Srinagar looks over Dal Lake, in the Himalayas. The hotel says the palace was designed and built by Maharaja Pratap Singh in 1910. It counts 113 guest rooms and suites, including 10 cottages, and more than 4,000 square feet of banqueting. An indoor pool is listed, which is the practical fact when the valley is cold. The contact page pin is 34.0799, 74.8624. The group telephone printed in the site markup is 1800 11 77 11. Reservations on the contact page are srinagar@thelalit.com. The tree is the story the hotel chooses to tell. It says the chinar in the palace courtyard was the site of a meeting between Mahatma Gandhi and Maharaja Hari Singh. That is a different reason to stay from a houseboat on the lake. The rooms are in a palace and in cottages, so the booking is not one kind of key. The introduction does not print a nightly rate. Reserve with the hotel. MindReach does not take the booking.
