Lalgarh Palace  

In the historic heart of Bikaner, a red sandstone heritage palace sits just steps from Junagarh Fort and near the convention center. This family-friendly heritage hotel puts you close to temples, the railway station and local camel attractions.

Dozens of individually decorated rooms mix traditional Rajasthani antiques and high ceilings with modern comforts. Expect private balconies, fireplaces in select rooms, memory-foam beds with Egyptian-cotton sheets, jetted bathtubs, LCD/ tablet entertainment and complimentary Wi‑Fi.

A full-service spa and massage parlour set the tone for relaxation. There’s an indoor pool, indoor tennis courts, a 24-hour health club, nightclub, billiards and an arcade, plus a boutique and lush lawns for events. The travel desk arranges camel safaris and dinner on sand dunes, and evenings often feature folk music and dance.

Complimentary high-speed (wired) internet, a business center and around 5,400 sq ft of conference and meeting space make this a solid pick for events and corporate stays. Airport and train pick-up services are available for a surcharge.

A 24-hour restaurant overlooks the gardens and serves Indian and international dishes, with 24-hour room service on offer. Enjoy poolside drinks, two bars and al fresco bonfire dinners that spotlight local flavors and Rajasthani cuisine.
