Hotel Narain Niwas Palace
A Heritage Hotel, provides a good example of history amalgamating with modern times.
Centrally located in Jaipur, the Pink City of India, the palace was built in the 19th century by General Amar Singh Ji, the then Thakur of Kanota. Designed in a fanciful version of The Anglo-Indian style popular in the Victorian Era, the palace now serves as a hotel. The Palace has all the modern amenities and a
place where one can enjoy traditional Rajput Hospitality.
Decorated with Rajput Flourishing, Rajasthani Furnishing and Traditional Jaipur painted wall décor in a typically bold colour pallette, Hotel Narain Niwas Palace provides an exclusive retreat to its guests.
Narain Niwas was built in the 1928 by General Amar Singh, Thakur of Kanota, Commander of the Jaipur State Force and Confidant of Maharaja Sawai Man Singh. General Amar Singh was the grandson of Thakur Zorawar Singh, founder of the Kanota family. Thakur Sivnath Singh, (General Amar Singhji's brother) supervised the
actual construction. The new mansion was named after their father, Thakur Narain Singh, who had been chief of police in Jaipur State as well as a minister at the neighboring princely state of Alwar.Narain Niwas was built in the 1928 by General Amar Singh, Thakur of Kanota, Commander of the Jaipur State Force and

Narain Niwas was a country residence in which Amar Singh could withdraw when he wanted a change from his busy administrative and court life, and from the cares of the Kanota family's Haveli within the walled city. Like other noblemen of old Jaipur State, he built his "garden house" in the vicinity of Rambagh, the
pleasure garden and palace whose construction was begun in the 19th century by Maharaja Ram Singh (1835-1880).Until world war II, Narain Niwas surrounded by jungle where Amar Singh could go for pig sticking (hunting wild boar), to shoot game birds, and to hunt black bunk and the occasional panther.
Amar Singh's reputation as a soldier, administrator and a sports man is exceeded by his reputation as a diarist. His diary, kept in English for 44 years, from 1898 to 1942, in 89 folio volume, 800 page per volume, provides and unparalleled ethnographic account of Rajput life in princely India in the late Victorian
and Edwardian eras.
