HOTEL THE PALACE ( 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.
