Suryagarh
Jaisalmer
A fort-scale hotel on the edge of the Thar, built this century.
The place
Built in yellow Jaisalmer sandstone to look four hundred years old, and carrying it off. Large, but arranged around courtyards so it never feels it. What sets it apart is the programming — dawn trips to abandoned villages, musicians in the courtyard, food that takes the region seriously.
What is there
- Courtyards, a stepwell and a large pool
- Spa
- Dawn excursions into the desert and to Kuldhara
- Thali dinners built on Marwari cooking
- Musicians in the evening
- Twenty minutes from Jaisalmer fort
