Jewel of the Thar

Like a stunning mirage in the arid Thar Desert in the Bikaner district of Rajasthan, Gajner Palace stands as a testament to regal opulence and architectural finesse. This lakeside palace-complex, built by HH Maharaja Sir Ganga Singh of Bikaner and spread over 6000 acres, exudes an air of serenity and grandeur.

The footsteps of time

Originally constructed as a hunting resort during the British Raj, Gajner Palace has witnessed the footsteps of dignitaries and royalty. The Prince of Wales, Governor General Lord Elgin, Lord Erwin, and even Lord Mountbatten graced its halls. The Imperial Sand Grouse shooting events held here during Christmas became the most coveted invitations on the Indian social calendar. In 1922, the palace was connected to the Bikaner Palace by rail, adding to its allure.

A tapestry of wonder

Gajner Palace is a harmonious blend of Rajasthani, Jain, Mughal, and European architectural elements. The reddish stone domes, intricate Jharokhas (overhanging balconies), Chhatris (elevated pavilions), and Jaalis (latticed screens) create an enchanting visual tapestry. The craftsmanship displayed in carved pillars, wooden furniture, and antique paintings is a testament to the artisans’ skill.

Wings of imagination

Gajner Palace is divided into four distinctive wings: Dungar Niwas, Mandir Chowk, Gulab Niwas and Champa Niwas. The hotel's 13 historic suites are in Dungar Niwas where British dignitaries stayed during their leisure trips to the Palace. The palace-hotel also offers 32 deluxe rooms in Gulab Niwas (used by glamorous railway officers in earlier times), Champa Niwas (a recent addition, with a beautiful courtyard surrounded by rooms) and Mandir Chowk (part of the reception area for dignitaries arriving by train and dominated by the presence of an ancient temple and age-old Banyan trees).

Discover its wild side

Situated on the shores of a serene lake, Gajner Palace offers a picturesque view of its surroundings. The lush Gajner Wildlife Sanctuary envelops the palace, providing a natural haven for flora and fauna.
