Basant Vihar
Palace
Hotel Basant Vihar Palace was built because of a 'fanciful desire'
of His Highness Maharaj Sri Ganga Singhji, a connoisseur of architecture
and one blessed with an artistic sense. Basant Vihar Palace 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 into a heritage hotel -
Hotel Basant Vihar Palace. An endeavour 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
Hunting, as a rule, was a sport limited only to the feudal chiefs
and the Maharajas. Major game was hunted only during the period of
British Raj. The Basant Vihar Palace, built by Maharaja Ganga Singhji,
served as resort. There was invitation to the annual sand grouse shoot
in Bikaner that no one dared miss: it simply belonged on the top of
the heap in society, so designed by Maharaja Ganga Singh at this hunting
lodge. Royalty, Indian as well as International, Viceroys and other
dignitaries have been entertained here

serious business that it was raised to an art form. At Hotel Basant
Vihar Palace, our chefs are trained to continue this practice. Encouraged

and Continental delicacies. As for Rajasthani cuisine, recipes passed
down the generations are what we pride ourselves in.
