Narendra Bhawan

Bikaner, India
Narendra Bhawan — hotel photograph
Narendra Bhawan is a lavish property that tells the story of its former owner, the last Maharaja of Bikaner.

Curios and trinkets adorn the hotel, collected on the Maharaja’s travels, while Art Deco and avant garde details complete its chic design, from the capacious rooms, to the black and white tiled lobby, to the eye-catching red grand piano.

Spend time exploring Bikaner’s havelis, indulging in a lakeside picnic, and embarking on a camel or jeep safari through the desert. Retreat to your sumptuous room, melt into a state of relaxation in the Clinic spa, or lounge by the rooftop pool.

What we love

    • The former home of the last reigning Maharaja of Bikaner
    • A lavish property that celebrates Rajasthan’s Art Deco movement–we love the black and white decor of the inner veranda
    • Lounge by the rooftop infinity pool with views across Bikaner
    • Dine on a mouthwatering fusion of Indian and Western cuisine at restaurant Pearls & Chiffon
    • Facilities include a spa and gym

You’ll need to arrange a car to explore Bikaner’s attractions as the neighbourhood is predominantly residential

The hotel hosts the occasional wedding which can get noisy so you may wish to stay when their event diary is clear

All of the guestrooms are accessed via stairs so it’s not wheelchair accessible

Families are welcome, but amenities are not designed with families in mind and the hotel feels best suited to adults. There aren’t any interconnecting rooms but if you do wish to bring little ones, you’ll find space for cots and extra beds in all the rooms.

Located on Samvit Shikshan Sansthan, in a residential area of Bikaner in northern Rajasthan. Bikaner airport is a short drive away.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.
Roy Wood (February 2026)
Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.
Alie C (February 2026)
I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace
Daisy Stanton (February 2026)
My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!
Andrew S (February 2026)
Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North East India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.
Martin Thomas (February 2026)
Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference
Sandra Nicholson  (February 2026)
We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.
Jayant Banerji (February 2026)
A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
