Major Charles Mant was credited to be the main architect of the palace.

[1][2] Lakshmi Vilas Palace was styled on the Indo-Saracenic Revival architecture, built by Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III in 1890 at a cost of £180,000 (₹25,00,000).

At the time of construction, it boasted the most modern amenities such as elevators and the interior is reminiscent of a large European country house.

In the 1990s, Pratapsinh's grandson Samarjitsinh, a former Ranji trophy cricket player, renovated the course and opened it to the public.
