Hotel Description
Set amidst a sprawling 50 acres, and surrounded by
undulating, yellow mustard fields, the Laxmi Vilas Palace
was built for Raja Raghunath Singh, the younger brother of
the then Bharatpur ruler, Maharaja Ram Singh. An eclectic
and lively fusion of Rajput and Mughal architecture, the
Palace was earlier called Raghunath Niwas though locals
always preferred to call it Kakaji Ki Kothi.
Its single entrance, a massive richly carved sandstone
archway intended to allow the ladies of the Royal family of
Bharatpur to conduct themselves away from the praying eyes
of men and outsiders. Spacious and airy rooms opened out
into the inner courtyard with its marble fountain.
Enchanting cupolas and sunny courtyard completed the pretty
picture.
For almost a hundred years, the Laxmi Vilas Palace has been
a prime witness to, and a participant in almost every
eventful happening that took place in the princely state of
Bharatpur – royal weddings, affairs of the court and royal
duck shoots. Laxmi Vilas Palace has played host to such
dignitaries as the Duke of Edinburgh, Shah of Iran, King of
Nepal and Shah of Afghan. There was of course enough to
entertain those who entered the portals of the Palace.
Feasts and festivities lasted several days. And the kitchen
ensured that only gourmet cuisine arrived at the dining
table.
The same traditions of hospitality have been kept alive till
the present day. In 1994, a decision was taken to convert
the Laxmi Vilas Palace into a hotel. The Laxmi Vilas Palace
Has been operational ever since.
