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.
