The palace was built for Sir Hari Singh, the last reigning Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir (1895 - 1961), in the early 20th century, as a separate extension of the 'Amar Mahal Palace' (built in 1890) so he could entertain his guests after 1925, rather than at the older Mubarak Mandi Palace.

Here he spent the last days of his stay in Jammu & Kashmir, before moving to Bombay (now Mumbai).

The descendants of the Maharaja converted the palace into a heritage hotel in 1990.

In the same compound "Amar Mahal Museum and Library" displays the 120 kg gold throne of Sir Hari Singh.
