HISTORY

    The palace hotel was used as a British residence when Britishers ruled over the country. Thus, a Major General Charles Burton visited the hotel and settled in this heritage monument. They started residing here with his wife and their children.

    When the Indian Revolt in 1857 was going on, a group of Indian soldiers attacked the palace hotel too. They broke into the mansion and killed the officer and his whole family who were living in the palace.

    Then, the King of Kota recovered the dead bodies and buried them in the central hall of the palace. After some days, locals started hearing some spooky voices and strange figures. Thus, they believe that his spirit is residing there.

 

Claims And Myths

    Some people have reported that they felt uneasy while sitting in the central hall or other specific areas of the hotel. People are generally advised to stay indoor at night and to avoid a walk or linger around the garden or terrace for the precaution. But the ghost is said to be harmless.

    Even at the night if any guard is found sleeping or misbehaving by the spirit, he slaps him with a warning as a pidgin Hindustani. Maharani had also encountered him as he was sitting in the chair with a cane in his hand.
