 For
years, Mount Abu was the summer residence of
many Indian Princes, who wanted respite from
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
Sighji, the mansion was designed by the
legendary architect Sir Swinton Jacob, under
the supervision of the council of Regency.
Set on vast grounds amidst tranquill 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 Palace 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 solitude, 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.
You can choose from an array of 38 rooms,
each distinctive of their old world charm.
The hotel has 13 Suites, 24 Double Rooms and
1 Single Room.
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 organize 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. |
