Brijraj Bhawan Palace Hotel

Brijraj Bhawan Palace Hotel is a Heritage Hotel. It is also the residence of Maharao Brijraj Singh of Kotah and his family.

It was built in 1830 A.D. as the British Residency and later became the State guesthouse of Kotah in 1900 A.D. Many VVIPs from viceroys, Kings and Queens to Maharaja's and Prime Ministers have stayed here. Lord Curzon visited in 1903. Queen Mary of England stayed here on her visit to 1911. Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi came in 1971.

This colonial style building is situated on the right bank of the river Chambal and commands a magnificent view. Its spacious rooms are graced with elegant period furniture and most open out into large verandahs. All bedrooms are air-conditioned with attached modern bathrooms, and are equipped with Flat Screen HDTVs and telephones with national and international access. The drawing and dining rooms are very eye catching, with many personal affects of the royal family. Most rooms have a pleasing river view.

The well maintained lawns and terrace gardens add to the style of gracious living. An abundance of trees and general greenery in the riverside environ at Brijraj Bhawan Palace ensures the presence of a wide variety of birds. In fact, guests are tempted to spend the entire winter day soaking in the sun, relaxing, and doing nothing here
