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.
