This erstwhile palace resort was constructed more than a century ago by Nawab Sher Muhammad Khan of Palanpur estate. It acted as his summer retreat and a pleasant respite from the sweltering heat of the summer. In the course of its time it has variously been named as Mount Hotel and later again as Skeltania by an Englishman. Palanpur Palace as it stands today is an impressive structure and features amongst the best Budget Hotels in Mount Abu.
