The Basant Vihar Palace was built because of a fanciful desire of His Highness Maharaja Ganga Singhji, a connoisseur of architecture and one blessed with an artistic sense. 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 flavor of history and royal living ( as opposed to the usual star-category hotels ), Hotel Basant Vihar Palace, remains a garden of eternal spring.
 
Hidden away in a secluded area, the hotel is surrounded by well laid out gardens, fragrant flower beds and soothing lily ponds. Though it is completely refurbished from the inside, great care has been taken to preserve the original character of the rooms - it has 33 elegantly furnished spacious Suites and Deluxe rooms with all the modern amenities.

The Hotel is a culture itself
As the hotel relates itself to the Maharaja's times, the royal ness and ethnic culture is sure to follow. This heritage of ancient times embraces every visitor with the warmth of love, bringing alive the true flavor of Rajasthan. The garden, the courtyard, every bit and piece of it awaits you. Rural folks, their music, dresses, tradition keeps the spirits alive. Yes, Bikaner is alive and Hotel Basant Vihar Palace is a part of this lively culture which you are going to experience throughout your tour.
