Phool Mahal Palace is a late Victorian Heritage property set beside a large lake, and in front of a 500 -year-old fort. It is now a small hotel, which also host occasional weddings, etc. The Manager is Mr Kishor, who has worked for the Maharaja for 25 years, and who is a most helpful and pleasant gentleman. We enjoyed our overnight stay here very much, as we stayed in the ground-floor Round Room, overlooking the lake, which is beautifully decorated in Kishangarh style. The hotel boasts an attractive period sitting room, and a modest dining room, providing simple but tasty traditional Indian dinner and breakfast, served professionally by Mr Ashok. Whilst the lake could do with a clean-up, the Palace does afford panoramic view of the Lake Palace opposite, which is particularly lovely at sunset. Our room had A/C and tea and coffee-making facilities. The bed was form which suited me! We were taken on a private tour of the Fort, Byrne Kishor, which is at present only open to hotel guests, and offers a fascinating insight into former glories and the The workings of the fort in days-gone-by. Behind the fort lies Old Kishangarh Town, which is a friendly place for a wander, though it seems to close up quite early - try to go before sunset or mid-morning.
