The Gajner is situated on the banks of the Gajner Lake. The Palace is built by red sand stone & is indeed a fine example of the great Rajasthani architecture. Spread over 6000 acres, the palace is a 30-minute drive from Bikaner. Gajner Palace -a summer resort of Bikaner Maharajas -has often been described as an incomparable jewel in the Thar Desert'. Built by Maharaja Ganga Singh ji of Bikaner, palace stands on the embankment of a lake .The palace was used by Maharaja for grand shoots and lavish entertainment. Royalty, Indian as well as international, Viceroys and other dignitaries have been entertained at this grand palace.
The architecture of Gajner palace is truly outstanding. Built in red sandstone with intricately carved pillars, jharokhas and screens, the craftsmanship here is amazing. Palace is surrounded by beautiful wooded area, now a preserved sanctuary which provides shelter to chinkaras, blackbucks, blue bull (Neel gai) and flocks of imperial sand grouse. A part of palace has been transformed into hotel.
The red sandstone palace is distinguished for its architectural grandeur and luxuriously appointed suites and rooms. The greenery at Gajner Palace, lawns and the chirping of birds and peacocks make it a truly memorable destination for leisure and corporate travellers. Hotel Gajner Palace is owned & managed by the HRH group of Hotels. The palace turned Grand Heritage hotel holds a world record of being largest (in terms of area) hotel in the world.
