"A golden sandstone hotel in Jaisalmer with Bhurj tower rooms, a garden pool and views across to the fort"
Himmatgarh Palace is a heritage boutique hotel in Jaisalmer built in the traditional golden sandstone of the city, with distinctive Bhurj tower rooms and views towards Jaisalmer Fort.
The grounds carry landscaped gardens and an outdoor swimming pool, which makes it a workable base for seeing the Golden City and getting out into the Thar rather than only a place to sleep. The hotel describes its setting as a peaceful one for exploring the historic attractions of Jaisalmer.
Evenings are made something of a feature. The hotel runs rooftop dining under the desert sky along with traditional Rajasthani hospitality, so dinner tends to happen upstairs with the fort in view rather than in a dining room.
Twenty-one tents on the golden edge of the Thar: private plunge pools, Manganiyar bards by firelight, and dunes running to the horizon. Jaisalmer's living fortress is up the road.
