Built for a Maharaja, Not for Guests

Commissioned as a royal guesthouse for the Bikaner royal family and raised in warm red sandstone by master craftsmen, Laxmi Niwas Palace has watched over the desert city for more than a century.

Its carved jharokhas and domed pavilions once welcomed maharajas and viceroys. Today the same halls welcome travellers seeking real royal history, not borrowed grandeur.

Plan Your Wedding
Staying at Laxmi Niwas Palace felt less like a hotel and more like being received as a guest of the royal family. The carved corridors, the courtyard dinners — utterly unforgettable. A. & R. Mehta, Mumbai
