Trivia
The history of the hotel dates back to 1844 when it was built by twelve-year old Prince, Capt. F. Cotton, who had bought the Ferrnhills property for Rs. 10,000. During mid-1860s it was temporarily named Moonesami and served as one of the Ooty’s earliest club hotels. The property was later bought by His Highness Chamarajendra Wadiyar X in the year 1873. He was the first Indian Royal to buy an English holding in Ooty. Since then Ferrnhills Royale Palace has been with the Wadiyar dynasty and today it is successfully run in the able hands of Her Highness Promoda Devi.
