A Biography-Led Reworking of a Maharaja’s Residence
From Royal Residence to Landscape of Memories
The former residence of Narendra Singhji, the last Maharaja of Bikaner, has been transformed around his personality, travels, tastes and social world. The design treats the building as a sequence of biographical milestones rather than a generic heritage conversion.
Junagarh References, Art Deco and Theatrical Detail
Restored residential fabric is combined with later additions and a redesigned jali. The visual language draws on Junagarh Fort and Marwari tradition, while Bombay Art Deco, regimented military order and Broadway-style glamour shape the interiors.
Diwali Chowk at the Centre
The former terrace was converted into Diwali Chowk, a central courtyard around which the rooms are organized. Its colonnades and light-filled open-air setting form one of the property’s principal architectural gathering spaces.
Guestrooms Shaped by the Chapters of a Royal Life
Accommodation with a Biographical Narrative
The hotel contains 82 rooms whose interiors reflect different stages in Narendra Singhji’s life. The accommodation follows the property’s wider eclectic, historically referential design approach instead of presenting a uniform corporate visual scheme.
The Resident Room Theme
The “Resident” category evokes a royal nursery-like setting, extending the life-story concept into the guest accommodation and linking individual room themes to the former resident’s early years and royal household.
Panelled Indian Dining, Rooftop Brunch and Mad Hatter Snacks
P&C in Pearls and Chiffons
P&C, or Pearls and Chiffons, is the main restaurant, occupying an elegant panelled room and serving Indian and international food. The wider dining identity also includes authentic Mughal and Marwari cuisine in formal settings.
Brunch at Roof Top Pool
Brunch at Roof Top Pool combines brunch and dinner with a poolside setting on the rooftop, placing dining alongside the hotel’s elevated leisure area and views over Bikaner.
Mad Hatter Bakery-Café
Mad Hatter is a bakery-cum-café serving snacks. Additional dining areas include a terrace, giving the property a more informal option alongside the panelled main restaurant and rooftop venue.
