Bikaner
House was the summer residence of the royal family
of Bikaner. Constructed in
1893 during the minority of Maharaja Ganga Singhji,
the mansion was designed by the legendary architect
Sir Swinton Jacob, under the supervision of the
Council of Regency.
Set on vast grounds amidst tranquil hills, Bikaner
house occupied one of the best locations in Mount
Abu and was visited regularly by the Maharaja and
the royal family. In 1962 Maharaja Karni Singhji
decided to convert the royal residence into a hotel.
‘PALACE HOTEL’ as it is now called has been in
operation since then. The Place hotel, today a
classified ‘Heritage Hotel’ still stands
glorious as before – a legacy from the Maharajas
of Bikaner.
At
the Palace Hotel your time is spent only in beautiful
and peaceful surroundings. For years our guests have
come back to assimilate the surrounding flora and
fauna, to experience the quiet and solitute, to stroll
the gardens, to absorb the smell of pine and fresh
leaves in the air, to sit by the lake or to simply do
nothing.
The
Dining Rooms in the hotel serve traditional as well as
continental cuisine. Should you prefer as many do, the
hotel can provide for delectable barbecues around a
bon fire or organise picnic hampers or meals on the
lake side.
As many discerning Corporate Houses have found out,
the Palace Hotel is a perfect setting for mixing
business with pleasure.
The Conference Room can seat 150 people in an
auditorium setting and 60 people otherwise, and
provides all requisite facilities.
