The Pataudi Palace, also called Ibrahim Kothi, is a palace of the former ruling family Pataudi family in Gurgaon district, Haryana, India.

After the high profile wedding between the nawab of Pataudi and the begum of Bhopal, the nawab felt the old family home was not grand enough to house his new bride in the manner she was accustomed. At the request of Iftikhar Ali Khan (1910–52), the 8 th Nawab of Pataudi, the building was designed in the style of the colonial-era mansions of Imperial Delhi by Robert Tor Russell (1888–1972) assisted by the Austrian architect Karl Molt von Heinz.[1][2] Many Hindi movies have also been shot [3] it was repossessed by actor Saif Ali Khan, son of the last Nawab, in 2014 and as of July 2015 remained closed for refurbishment. The restoring and renovation are now over and the family live in their home during the winter months.[4]
