Shiv Niwas Palace Hotel

A beautiful crescent adorning the southern end of the Palace complex, the Shiv Niwas Palace Hotel was originally Maharana Fateh Singhji's royal residence but later; the apartments around this beautiful courtyard were used as a place for entertaining personal guests. The Shiv Niwas Palace Hotel was the vision of Maharana Bhagwat Singhji of Mewar, which led to its conversion into a luxury hotel, intact with its original pristine glory. The heritage hotel, which offers a stunning view over Lake Pichola, is situated at a distance of 26 kms from the airport and 4 kms from the railway station.

All the 34 rooms of the hotel are divided into different categories. There is the two Imperial Suite, three Royal Suites, four Historic Suites, eight Terrace Suites and fourteen Deluxe Rooms.
