Heritage Hotels in Bikaner
BHANWAR NIWAS, Bikaner
Bhanwar Niwas was built in the early 20th century by Seth Bhanwarlalji Rampuria and is one of the most interesting havelis located within the walled city of Bikaner. The haveli follows no particular style of architecture, instead it is a potpourri of Indian and Western styles.
Recently converted into a hotel, Bhanwar Niwas has some rather elegant rooms like the blue drawing room, entrance hall, grand staircase and the library. The bar is a converted Baori, or underground rainwater tank. Local musicians perform in the splendid courtyard and invite guests to unwind in the evenings.
Special features: The haveli is located in the city making it convenient to take walking tours, savour the sights and get a feel of the local flavour. Karni Tample and Camel Breeding Farm are some of the other sites of interest.
Facilities available: 12 double rooms and 2 single. Restaurant serving Indian, Continental and Chinese.

GAJNER PALACE, Gajner
Gajner Palace has often been described as 'an incomparable jewel in the Thar desert'. Built by Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner, the palace stands on the embankment of the lake. The palace was used by the Maharaja for grand shoots and lavish entertainment. Royalty, both Indians as well as international, Viceroys and other dignitaries have been entertained at this grand palace. A beautiful courtyard opens into a garden, scented with Jasmine and lush with bougainvillea and where 14 rooms provide some of the accommodation. A walk into the grounds beyond reveals tree gnarland with age, a honeymoon lodge perched on a hillock amidst breathtaking tranquility. A grass tennis court and marble swimming pool (now being renovated).
The architecture of Gajner Palace is truly outstanding. Built in red sandstone with intricately carved pillars, jharokhas and screens, the craftsmanship here is amazing.
The palace is surrounded by beautiful wooded area, now a preserved sanctuary, which provides shelter to chinkara, blackbuck, neelgai and wild boar. Even today the rooms in the palace retain their touch of royal comfort.
Special features: Staying in Gajner is like being a royal guest. Authentic game recipes have been adopted to create non-vegetarian dishes.
Facilities available: 25 rooms with attached bathrooms. Sumptuous meals.
