The Laxmi Niwas Palace  

In historic Bikaner, inside a 106-year-old royal palace just a few minutes from Lalgarh Palace and Sri Sadul Museum. The heritage property sits about 3 km from the city center and is family-friendly, perfect for culture-minded stays.

This former Maharaja residence blends Rajputana heritage with individually furnished rooms — from deluxe rooms to royal suites — and no two rooms are alike. Many rooms are air-conditioned and some open onto terraces. Expect in-room safes, minibars/refrigerators, cable TV, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, unwind at the full-service spa, or stroll the terrace and gardens. There’s a bar, picnic area, arcade and a children’s playroom. Concierge and a tour desk help book excursions and transfers. Onsite services include parking/valet, elevator access, laundry/dry cleaning, ATM, car rental and a safe-deposit box — and you can sip morning tea on a terrace view.

Conference facilities for meetings and events (including a 400 sq ft space) and wedding services. Complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet keeps you connected.

Two on-site restaurants (including Swarna Mahal) plus a bar/lounge. Buffet breakfasts are served daily (fee applies) and 24-hour room service is available for late arrivals or lazy nights in.
