Karni Bhawan Palace was the royal residence of Maharaja Karni Singh, a modern-day maharaja of Bikaner. It was built in a luxurious art deco style, popular by the 1950s in the US and Europe. Its Doric pillars, ornamental staircases and large windows are a testimony to an aesthetic brilliance of the past. Today, Karni Bhawan Palace is a Royal Retreat of the HRH Group of Hotels. The original character of the royal residence has been preserved and retained for modern-day guests. Old paintings, photographs, period furniture and curios add a distinctive dimension to the ambience of Karni Bhawan Palace, a cozy retreat for travel-weary guests.

Situated in the heart of the residential area, the hotel is near to the major tourist attractions of the city like the Junagarh fort, Lalgarh Palace, the camel breeding farm, the temples and the bazaars.
