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 most distinguished among all these mansions is the Bikaner House, designed and constructed in1893 by the famous architect Sir Swinton Jacob, under the supervision and commission of Maharaja Ganga Singh Ji, the erstwhile ruler of the Bikaner State. A grand granite structure built in a blend of European and Indian style, abounding on lush tranquil grounds, this hotel is a sheer feast for the eyes. Turned into a hotel by Maharaja Karni Singh Ji in 1962, the Palace Hotel Bikaner House is now a heritage hill resort of repute. Since then, this majestic hotel has been setting new standards in hospitality and luxury
