For years,
Mount Abu was the summer residence of many Indian Princes, who wanted
respite form the stifling summer of their windless plains.
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.

people otherwise, and provides all requisite facilities.
