If you are a really visual person, perhaps. I would want all sorts of other senses in addition though. Being able to lay my hands on the brickwork and hear how sounds are affected by walls would be important parts for me.

On the other hand, a palace in VR has the benefit of not getting demolished, and being accessible even if you move to another country.

I understand that fictional locales were used as palaces for this reason. For instance, Dante's circles of hell.

Edit: corrected an inexplicable typo (had 'and' for 'hands')
