It is built by red sand stone & is indeed a fine example of the great Rajasthani architecture. Hotel Gajner Palace is owned & managed by the HRH group of Hotels.

Gajner Palace was built on the banks of Gajner Lake by Sir Ganga Singhji, one of the greatest Maharajas of Bikaner, in the early decades of the twentieth century. Gajner Palace was used as a hunting resort by the former Maharajas and visiting British dignitaries during the days of the Raj. During the reign of Maharaja Ganga Singhji, this palace was used for grand shoots and lavish entertainment. Christmas season was often celebrated with prearranged duck and Imperial Sand Grouse shoots. Royalty, both, National and International, Viceroys and other dignitaries were invited on this grand occasion.

Spread over 6000 acres, the palace is a 30-minute drive from Bikaner. The red sandstone palace is distinguished for its architectural grandeur and luxuriously appointed suites and rooms.
