History[edit]
The construction of the palace was initially started in 1910 by Maharaja Pratap Singh as a summer residence, but it was under his successor, Maharaja Hari Singh's initiative that the major impetus to the construction of the palace was given.[1] The Gulab Bhavan was built under the guidance of Sh. Janki Nath Madan, Royal Engineer in the Court of Maharaja Hari Singh, who had received his engineering degree from Kings College, London, UK in 1934, with a tri pass (honours) in maths and physics.[2]
After Indian independence Maharaja Hari Singh moved to Mumbai and the palace was converted into "The Grand Palace" hotel in 1956. Bharat Hotels took over the hotel in 1998. They restored the palace and extended it. In 2008, the hotel was rebranded to LaLiT Grand Palace Srinagar, of The LaLiT Hotels, Palaces and Resorts.
