Location:

Approximately an hour’s flight from New Delhi/ 1.5 hours from Bombay to Jaisalmer after which it is a 15 km drive to the hotel. Alternatively, one can fly to Jaipur and drive from there to Suryagarh Fort directly.

Ambience:

A grand Rajasthani fort in the middle of the desert, Suryagarh Fort offers all the worldly comforts any guest or traveler would desire including free WiFi, a fitness center and an indoor swimming pool.

With a palace-style central courtyard upon entrance and a host of welcoming staff, the service is warm and hospitable.

The rooms are clean and refurbished. For those looking for an upgrade to truly experience the fort vibe, the Suryagarh Peacock Thar Haveli (shown below) and Jaisalmer suites make you feel like you’re in your own miniature palace with an infinity pool overlooking the desert and a palatial outdoor area made from craft handmade textiles.

In terms of food, the hotel has a multi cuisine all-day restaurant where Indian and western tastes are catered to for all guests. The in-room dining menu consists of a wide variety of dishes as well many healthy options.

Highlights

The Rait Spa is a must- go to here. With well-trained massage therapists and beautifully-done rooms, the massages are notable. Suryagarh has recently become more popular in India because of it’s attractiveness as a wedding destination. Indeed, Suryagarh Fort is ideally suited to host weddings and/or special-occasion parties as the hotel has enough to offer in terms of its amenities such as an indoor swimming pool, the Rait spa and all day free WiFi.

The bride and groom can choose any theme they want for day or night parties and with most couples having traditional Indian weddings, there is no better place to celebrate tradition than an actual fort in Rajasthan. Couples can arrange for singers, dancers and have a jazz-style brunch or tandoori kebabs by the lake gardens.

There is enough beauty as well as fun for everyone to be comfortably entertained.
