Suryagarh Jaisalmer

Was nice place … but lightning needs to be adjusted .., as people who come in evening cannot take proper pictures of the beautiful place …. Everything was nice but not upto the mark to how much they are chart for a night stay

This is a quite extraordinary hotel. It is new built but in the style of a large fort. Entering between two cannon and driving under the portcullis you driver through beautiful gardens to reach the grand entry where they beat the drums in welcome. Anoushka greeted us extremely warmly and helped us to a welcome drink and snacks and then introduced us to the hotel. A cozy but airy bar, a very modern gym which was always assiduously attended to by an excellent personal trainer with a remarkably smart moustache. The pool is covered but is open to the outside. This is necessary because the sun is FIERCE!!! We were upgraded to a suite for one night and then paid extra to be upgraded to their sumptuous suite with a rooftop small plunge pool with a dining area, sitting area, bedroom and massive bathroom with a double aspect. The roof was sheltered by two awnings and the plunge pool was a welcome relief although it could have been cleaned on the second morning. We watched the brilliant musicians from the roof with a sundowner and the dancing which was tremendous. When I walked to breakfast I wondered why such a great hotel would be playing piped music well, they weren’t and but it was a flautist sitting in a window playing. It was super and quite the nicest touch on the way to brecky. The food was delicious and service solicitous at breakfast with spicy marsala omelettes as requests and great mixtures of Chaat by the chef of the day. We also had the buffet supper which was excellent and wide ranging and did two nights of in room dining - well in our in room dining room. The service was great and the food really well spiced and the breads very well cooked. The hotel is ably managed by Mr Singh and he and his staff gave us a magical stay. It aint cheap and they know how to charge but it is worth it. We had a gorgeous stay and would return in a jiffy.

An enchanting place, frozen in another era. The atmosphere that permeates every corner of the palace, from breakfast to the last light of sunset, makes for an unforgettable experience. Dinner in the outdoor courtyard is magical. A special thanks to Satyam Kumar, a young *** always smiling and attentive to every detail of the palace. Thanks to Prasun and Pradeep for their impeccable room cleaning service.

It’s actually difficult to describe our experience in Suryagarh. Right from the start we felt like VIPs, welcomed by musicians and dancers. Check-in was done in a minute, before we were led to our suite (many thanks for the upgrade!) which was breathtaking. Dining and bar options are absolutely world-class, and the pool and spa areas wonderful. We were particularly lucky as we stayed during Holi and could attend the lovely fire ceremony. With the wild peacocks, the ‘duckherd’, the singers and musicians our stay really felt like a chapter from the tales of 1001 nights!!!

My humble gratitude to Mr Vinay and Nr Akash who helped us round the clock to ensure hospitality is at peak. They worked tirelessly and treated us like family. My thanks to the entire suryagarh staff. Well done. Keep it up. Will see you again soon.
