HOTEL
BIKANER HOUSE
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.
The Conference Room can seat 150 people in an auditorium
setting and 60 people otherwise, and provides all
requisite facilities.
