Falaknuma is a palace in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. It originally belonged to the Paigah family and was later owned by the Nizam of Hyderabad. It is on a hillock and covers a 13-hectare (32-acre) area in Falaknuma and is at a distance of 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) from the iconic Charminar. It was built by Nawab Sir Viqar-ul-Umra, Prime Minister of Hyderabad and the uncle & brother-in-law of the sixth Nizam. Falak-Numa means "Like the Sky" or "Mirror of Sky" in Urdu. The palace was restored by the Taj Group of Hotels. The restoration, which began in 2000, took ten years. The renovated hotel was opened in November 2010. Now, the hotel is again used to host guests in Hyderabad, such as Aga Khan IV, Ivanka Trump, and Narendra Modi.
