Hotel Jaisalgarh
Hotel Jaisalgarh is designed like a castle in the sandy terrain of Jaisalmer. In keeping with the traditions of Jaisalmer, all exterior is done with stones drawn from most expensive mines of Honey-coloured Jaisalmer stones e.g. Shipra,Moolsagar with grains,. The defining feature of Hotel Jaisalgarh exterior is large stones cut in Rock-face style- perhaps the only building in Jaisalmer to use this style of exterior. Each stone is hand carved with finest artistry by century old skilled stone-carvers.
Hotel Jaisalmer is a treasure trove of architectural features of Jaisalmer style. The only one of its kind in the world Jharokhas (carved balconies), sit-in chhatris (pavilion with domes) and jaalis (latticed screens). All magnificently hand-carved-they create an ambiance of bygone,opulent era. The Golden City of Jaisalmer is like straight out of an Arabian Nights fable. The name Jaisalmer induces a dramatic picture of utter magic and brilliance of the desert. The hostile terrain withstanding the warmth and colour of people is simply over whelming. One of the main draws of the ccity is the daunting 12th century Jaisalmer Fort also known as the “Sonar Garh” (Golden Fort). The beautiful haweli built by wealthy merchants of Jaisalmer hundreds of yers ago are yet another interesting aspect of the desert city.
