Basant Vihar Palace, Bikaner- Basant Vihar Palace was built because of a "fanciful desire" of His Highness Maharaj Sri Ganga Singh Ji, a connoisseur of architecture and one blessed with an artistic sense. It was designed by him to be a separate pleasure garden adjoining the Zanana Bagh (Royal Ladies' Garden) of Lalgarh Palace. In 1993, the house of Bikaji converted this masterpiece of architecture in to a heritage hotel - Hotel Basant Vihar Palace. An endeavor to offer tourists a true flavour of history and royal living ( as opposed to the usual star-category hotels ), Hotel Basant Vihar Palace today, remains a 'garden of eternal spring'
LOCATION Railway Station: 3 km, Junagarh Fort: 3 km ACCOMMODATION Hidden away in a secluded area, the hotel is surrounded by well laid out gardens, fragrant flower beds and soothing lily ponds. And though it is completely refurbished from the inside, great care has been taken to preserve the original character of the rooms - 21 in all including 3 suites, all of which are fully air conditioned and fitted with satellite televisions. Right from your first step in the desert city, you will find us waiting for your reception at the railway station. The hotel vehicle arrives well before you smell the air of desert city. After your arrival at the palace, traditional welcome paves your way. Well dressed Durbans and staff members are at door to greet you with garlands and "Teeka" (a traditional way to wish, you keep on visiting us again and again). You head for your rooms after welcome drink and snacks to prepare for your encounter with pleasure unexpected.
