Narendra Bhawan
Bikaner
The last Maharaja of Bikaner's residence, reimagined with a straight face and a wink.
The place
The house of the last Maharaja of Bikaner, turned into something that is part period piece, part design hotel and entirely committed to the bit. Art Deco rooms, a rooftop, a library, and a restaurant doing regional food that most hotels in Rajasthan would not attempt.
What is there
- Art Deco and colonial rooms, no two alike
- Rooftop pool and bar
- Regional Rajasthani cooking, properly researched
- Library and courtyards
- Spa
- Bikaner's fort and the camel farm nearby
Getting there
Bikaner, about five hours from Jaisalmer.
