Suryagarh

OUR RATING: First Class

Rising majestically from the sands of the Thar Desert, Suryagarh could well be one of Rajasthan's many spectacular and ancient forts. But, this is in fact a modern palace hotel — and a grand one indeed.

Located about twenty minutes drive from Jaisalmer, and with sweeping uninterrupted 360 degree views across open country, Suryagarh is an oasis of calm and luxury, boasting first class rooms, facilities and dining. Rooms are beautifully appointed and extremely spacious, and there's a well equipped gym and huge indoor pool in which to cool off from the desert heat.

From traditional dance in the palace courtyard in the evening, to high tea on the dunes, to cooking classes with their traditional Rajasthani chef, there are plenty of ways for guests to spend their time and be pampered at this wonderful hotel!
