Ultimate stay in the Thar! ”

About 18km away from Jaisalmer city towards the Sam sand dunes, Suryagarh offers the ultimate escape wrapped in a luxurious resort. The service by the staff is exemplary and in my family's case, Mr. Pushpendra and Mr. Tushar at the front desk were instrumental in making sure my Father-in-law's 71st Birthday was ringed in with the pomp, worthy for Royalty. Every member of the staff whether housekeeping or F&B make sure your stay is a splendid experience. The animals on the property, whether they be the Golden Retrievers and ducks in the Main Courtyard, or the rabbits near the organic farm, or the Peacocks giving us company during our morning tea on the terrace of the Suryagarh Suite, all add to the charm of Suryagarh. My daughter had an animal Safari of her own everyday of our stay. If there is one constructive critique I would give for Suryagarh, it would be to increase the variety of Non-vegetarian items /cuisine for Breakfast (only eggs to order, I was lucky to have chicken sausages on 1 on of my 3 breakfasts) and lunch (only one Non-veg main). For a hardcore carnivore like myself, it can be a bit of an issue. But the variety and quality of Vegetarian fare is really good and I can safely presume would be veggie-lovers paradise, as was evident from my vegetarian Mother-in-law's praise for the buffet during every meal. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would surely return to Suryagarh in the near future.

Beautiful Exotic Luxury Hidden Gem in Jaislmer ”

We were recommended to stay at Suryagarh Hotel by a family member and they were not wrong. Suryagarh is a hidden gem 💎 In Jaislmer. It is one of the most beautiful hotels that we have visited in past 20 years. The service is out of the world. The property is beautiful and luxurious. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and money’s worth. It is located few miles away from the city but it is so calm and serene that you forget about everything else in life and relax I would strongly recommend folks to try out Suryagarh

Must experience once in a lifetime”

To visit Suryagarh Jaisalmer is atleast once in a lifetime place to visit. We were here for our first anniversary and it was a experience to remember. They have given the feel of Old traditional fort with modern touch. The peace, joy and serenity you feel and absorb at thai place is just beyond words. I will for sure come here many more times in near future.

Royal service, exceptional food”

I wish Jaisalmer had a direct flight, just so that I can visit Suraygarh again. Beautiful property with exceptional service. Specially the buffet and the serving staff. Property was full, still there was enough space and service was good. Seems like good service is build into the culture and everyone was really good. Staff brought out breakfast items that were not on the menu, which was great. Would like to call out Manjeet for great seevice. Only thing that was lacking is giving us info on activities provided by Suraygarh. Like safari or dinner at dunes, I asked for infor repeatedly but no one reached out. Rest was great and I will definitely recommend anyone who is going to Jaisalmer.

Awesome experience”

Suryagarh Jaisalmer pampers you to the utmost and makes you feel like a king or queen. The property explicits marvellous architectural brilliance. The staff is very courteous and the food is great as well... Definately waiting to visit this property again❤

lovely relaxing place & excellent hospitality ”

we had wonderful 3 nights at suryagarh. arrived on christmas eve and the gala evening dinner with entertainment were well planned and executed! it is no doubt a beautiful property with a nice small number of rooms hence keeps the service very personal and manageable. we went for the sunset camel safari and dinner on their private sand dunes which was an experience well worth the money. overall we had a wonderful stay and would love to revisit it.

Wow, what a beautiful hotel”

The hotel is stunning and looks like a film set (in fact it has been used as one). From the welcome to the attention to detail in the hotel it is first class. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for, and with the Suryagarh you are getting the best in Jaisalmer

Desert opulence”

suryagarh has to be seen to be believed. purpose built in the desert to resemble a traditional fort, it certainly leaves a strong first impression. inside it is very grand with a huge courtyard, vast airy corridors and an ornate pool and spa. the rooms are very comfortable, combining colonial and modern decor, with nice little touches laid on like hand made sweets accompanied by scrolls quoting shakespeare, and charming colourful fabric signs for "do not disturb", "do my laundry" etc. we stayed in late september so not peak season. on the plus side that meant rooms were a steal at ~£ a night and the place was very tranquil. on the down side the hotel was dead (e.g. we were the only people in the restaurant for dinner) which meant it lacked atmosphere. perhaps also due to the lack of guests, the staff were also somewhat over-attentive, killing us with kindness and not giving us any space during meals. besides that though, a luxurious place to stay with plenty of character.

Best luxury stay ”

We loved suryagarh jaisalmer as they took every possible measures to ensure safety and a lifetime experience for us in their property . The booking via agoda site was very smooth .

lovely experience ”

as soon as u walk in, u will just go WAO! If u r looking for something different and u have slightly more budget, go for it. for the price we were paying, basically in other countries, I will just be a commercial hotel but this is a fort with every facilities u need. they even have people who walk their peacocks right next to u at breakfast and people playing traditional Indian trumpet for u at breakfast. staff was super friendly and never ask for a tip, very sincere! amazing hotel services. though we only stayed for one night bcoz it is 15km out of town. tuk tuk costs 300rupees only, which is quite reasonable. but the other reason was bcoz this is actually a new built fort in 2004 and we would like to experience living in the old heritage old city instead. if u have more than 1 night in jaisalmer, go for it.

Ultimate luxury, beautiful property, commendable facilities and extremely courteous staff”

Suryagarh is undoubtedly the best property in Jaisalmer. Amazing value for money. It was the best hotel in my entire Rajasthan trip. The only possible area of improvement is the taste of food.

Good property & food, but hospitality not that great!”

In Jailsalmer one has a few good options to stay: top one’s being Suryagarh and Marriott. We stayed in Suryagarh because of the fame it has received for being a classy royal property and for a good hospitality. After our stay we can definitely confirm that the property is amazing. Massive and well maintained with royal touch. However, in regards to the Hospitality, don’t set your expectations very high. It cannot match the levels of Taj, ITC or Marriott. It is a local group and will need to put much more efforts to provide 5* sort of experience. In a nutshell, property lacked basic things like a nice warm welcome or setting up celebration cake in room or decorating room (prior intimation given that we are celebrating our anniversary). Or on multiple occasions we noted the focus of staff was completely on VIP guests / influencers, ignoring other guests (be it guest interactions or service at restaurant). Or not getting a response back to the concerns raised on above. It all showcase one thing, hotel is riding high on the publicity and the good promotions done lately. Unlike the brands like Taj/ ITC which rely more on providing a good guest experience rather than relying only on promotion stunts. But again, we wouldn’t say the experience was that bad either. Food was good, property was amazing, housekeeping staff was good. It is just that one need to set the expectations a bit lower and not get carried away for it being a Luxury hotel. It is a boutique hotel, one among the best in Jailsalmer. But thank you Suryagarh for everything else :) Haven’t stayed in Marriott Jaisalmer but heard that the hospitality of the hotel is top notch. May be next time Marriott for us :)

Good Hotel That Can And Should Be Great”

The architects of the 7 years old Suryagarh is took great pains to incorporate classical Mugal/Rajput architecture in a modern-day functional hotel. The architects and builders faithfully captured this rich heritage (especially the Mugal side) and while creating an enjoyable space. Keep this location in mind for functions, family vacations, weddings.. it looks spectacular and the rooms are pretty well priced. It does however miss the mark slightly for the more spoiled high-end travelers / foodies which is where they have set their price point. The service was attentive and the hotel boasts a number of high-end amenities. The Spa facility is excellent. That said, there are improvements needed. Although everything looks great, management of the facility, while adequate, does not live up to the luxurious surrounding. Some examples: We got locked out of our remove because the battery on our door card reader failed… oddly it took nearly 30min. for the staff to diagnose and solve the problem. Not a deal breaker, but it would have been nice to be comped my drinks while I waited or possible get a room upgrade. The spa facility which is wonderfully laid out and very luxurious, has steam rooms with marble sitting planks that uncomfortably heat up making it unpleasant to steam. The indoor swimming pool is beautiful but the water in Dec. (during the tourist high season) is a touch too cold to go in.. and there is no hot tub. The food at the Rajput restaurant on premises is very good, and the setting is excellent but somehow it seemed that the drinks selection on the menu were either high priced and mediocre – 2500Rs. for a bottle of local Sula red. Or spectacularly marked up – 18,000Rs. for a Stag’s Leap Merlot. In short, the Suryagath is a fabulous place to stay and I would recommend it. That said, I do hope that next time I go back they have worked out the bugs.

Elegance Personified ”

Suryagarh with its warmth and mind blowing hospitality makea you feel royal. From the hotel architecture, to the authentic Rajasthani cuisine in their restaurants, to rustic old world charm in their spacious suits - you can't ask for more. Book a day trip from the hotel travel desk and you'd have a pleasant surprise that you'd remember for years. Thank you Suryagarh for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful”

We loved everything about Suryagarh: Ambiance, Staff, room, surroundings, food ( breakfast was so diverse and so tasty) , dinner was great too. Enjoyed the one hour cultural show. Met the owner and were delighted to see his polite and professional demeanor. We plan on coming next year again

Amazing place gor relaxing”

Pros: Definitely friendly and corteous staff, rooms, facilities and decor Cons: no courtsey coach service for pick up and drop off to the station. Folk music needs to improve as it was not captivating. Note: Try to get a package deal including all meals. Have your rented car to travel around Jaisalmer if staying for more than one night. Food is great with loads of varieties however after eating several meals, it feels ok so try to go another restaurants to give different taste to your palate.

Superlative experience”

It was an amazing stay on the verge of Thar desert. Suryagarh is mammoth property & the combination of all primitive heritage of Jaisalmer. It gives you royal & sumptuous feel during your stay.

Best Place to stay in Jaisalmer”

Well where can i start, Staff was extremely friendly and hospitable. Property is huge and looks like a castle and its away from hustle bustle of the cities. We got an amazing welcome from the staff and Specially staff member Parvesh was awesome. Chef cooked special sweets for us twice in a day and that was great, Breakfast was delicious as well and had bunch of options in it. Night time property looks really nice and they organised special dance show as well which we missed. Overall Its one of the best places that we stayed in the whole Rajasthan and definitely No. 1 in Jaisalmer and we wish to come back soon.

A Beautiful Desert Mirage”

I travel the world in search for fantastic experiences to serve as benchmarks for future experiences and I found that in Surygarh. Shout out to Anay Dubey and everyone from the staff for the fantastic service! The cultural night got cancelled during my stay because of a desert storm but that wasn't enough to dampen my spirits and positive experience inside the palace. It took me around 20 minutes by motorbike to reach the compound from Jaisalmer Fort.

Exquisite Architecture, and themed to perfection”

We had a wonderful stay at the Surygarh. The food was great, the service was excellent, the room was great and the location is really convenient for the Sam Dunes.. It is a little out of the city but that meant it was quiet and the stars were wonderful. Making dining in the central terrace an experience.. would rate this as one of the best hotels/resorts in India I have stayed in.
