Bissau
Palace - jaipur
One of the earlier Thakurs of Bissau Shyam Singh was an outstanding if somewhat
unconventional ruler -An Englishman who visited his court in 1808 had this to 
say
"At his palace I saw four Shekhawat Chief's and
cousins - they were plain men, and seemed to be living in great harmony. While
some of the others bore strong marks of the effect of opium especially
noticeable in their eyes, one of them Shyam Singh seemed remarkably mild and
well mannered but scarcely had I crossed the desert when I heard that Shyam
Singh had murdered the three others at a feast, stabbing the first with his own
hand". This story may or may not be authentic but is quite typical of times
and conditions prevailing in that particular era.
Bissau
Palace is an elegant traditional hotel built in 1919 and recently
renovated. Close to the walled city and overlooking the Tiger fort the Bissau
offers an oasis of calm, care, comfort and respite from the 'heat and dust' of
the city.
The guest rooms are spacious and comfortable. A gracious hotel with old-world charm and reputation for excellent cuisine and service. An atmosphere pregnant with intrigue, excitement, tragedy. Turreted ramparts enclosing a world of wealth.
To his credit, however, it must be maintained that Shyam Singh was at his best a brilliant general and tactician who hired the services of French mercenaries in his fight against the British and the Jaipur State. Most of the armory displayed here were a part of Shyam Singh's 'personal effects'.
The main dining room for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, serves Indian, Continental and special recipes from Rajasthan
LOCATION : 17 kms from the Jaipur airport and 6 kms drive from the Jaipur Rly station.
