Perched atop a hill and offering panoramic views of the surrounding valley, Kesar Bhawan Palace is the oldest palace in Mount Abu. Built in the year 1868 by Maharaja Daiwat Singh of Sirohi, the palace was initially used as a guest house for royal dignitaries visiting the hill station. A few steps from the palace are the Nakki Lake and the main bazaar, providing travellers with all the entertainments of the hill station within a stone’s throw. An eco-friendly heritage hotel, Kesar Bhawan Palace houses two duplex suites, 23 bedrooms and a restaurant that offers a royal dining experience. Elegantly furnished rooms, private balconies, and large windows that let in an abundance of natural light—the Kesar Bhavan Palace is a great stop for visitors and guests alike.
