Lallgarh Palace

Built in the 19th century, this former red sandstone palace of the Maharaja Ganga Singhji of Bikaner now offers superb lodgings in two of its wings. As a luxury Heritage Hotel, it combines modern amenities with vintage furnishings (check out the hallways with their sepia photographs and old hunting trophies). Sprawling green lawns are roamed by brilliant peacocks and a courtyard offers open-air dining.
