Introduction
It was the British who first felt the need for a cool hill station to escape the scathing Rajasthan sun in summer. No sooner had Mount Abu become a summer resort for the British resident of Rajputana, the royal Rajput families followed suit. Mount Abu soon became the summer resort of many royal families who built palatial buildings at the cool heights of the Aravalli. The oldest among these is the Kesar Bhawan Palace built by Maharaja Daiwat Singh Ji of Sirohi in 1868. His ancestors ruled Mount Abu since 1311 A.D when Maharao Lumbha conquered the Mount Abu hills. Once host to the royal dignitaries and guests of the Sirohi royal family, this palatial mansion now a heritage hotel of repute, plays host to all who check in to have a feel of the royal hospitality first hand. The sturdy rustic look of the hotel complements the surrounding Aravalli. Notably, this serene hideout is the only eco-friendly hotel in the area replete with water saving devices, solar systems, re-cycling of water for the gardens and the use of recyclable paper made from renewable resources
