Jewel toned room at Garh Jaisal in the Jaisalmer Fort
Each of the seven rooms features rich furniture, jewel toned textiles, a palatial window seat with amazing vista, private bathroom and a luxurious king size bed. “Comfort is a priority and we put many thoughtful details into each room” says Manager Mukesh Chouhan.
Garh Jaisal stands out with exceptional service and is a sanctuary for guests on their arrival from another city, camel safari or simply a day of exploring the local markets.
Customer service starts with simplicity in the booking process. The website features online availability and booking. Rates include complimentary transfers from the train, bus or airport (soon to be re-opening), unlimited mineral water and chai and a healthy breakfast each morning. Guests can also use complimentary internet to keep in touch with loved ones and tend to responsibilities they may have back home.
The hotel features a rooftop deck which overlooks the city of Jaisalmer and has views to the Palace across the fort. Looking out over the desert, the modernism of the windmills in the distance is in unique harmony with the essence of medieval times.
Guests can also enjoy dinner by candlelight under an array of stars prepared by Garh Jaisal’s private chef or explore local delicacies in the many restaurants nearby.
Manager, Mukesh Chouhan personally tends to Garh Jaisal’s commitment to preserving the integrity of the fort. Working with the community to conserver water, cleaning litter from the perimeter of the fort walls and keeping a wonderful level of comfort and friendliness for the fort residents and guests is a priority.
On the ancient trade route, in the heart of the Thar Desert, Jaisalmer is a remote settlement populated by palaces and havelis. Sandstone architecture is predominant with abundant rooftop vistas, charming facades and winding streets and pathways. To view the golden fort from the city with its 99 turrets is almost identical to what was seen by merchants on their overland camel caravans to central Asia centuries ago.
Jaisalmer is famous for embroidery, Rajasthani mirror work, rugs, blankets, antiques and old stone work. Tie-dye and other fabrics are made and color abounds everywhere. The Garh Jaisal team encourages guests to enjoy inspired creations by local artisans and to immerse and have fun with the culture and people.
