TheHari Niwas Palace is apalace inJammu,India. It overlooks theTawi river on one side and on the other side theTrikutahills.
The palace was built forSir Hari Singh, the last reigningMaharaja 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 olderMubarak Mandi Palace. Here he spent the last days of his stay in Jammu & Kashmir, before moving toBombay (now Mumbai).[1] The building is anart-deco structure. The descendants of theMaharaja 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.
