Built on a sprawling plot of over 5100 sq meters, the landmark hotel
is situated on Ramgarh Bypass on Jodhpur-Jaisalmer National Highway
No. 15. The area under construction of Hotel is 33,000 sq feet over 3
levels.
Hotel Jaisalgarh affords a grand view of Jaisalmer Fort. With its 4
dome-shaped structures on square base, Hotel Jaisalgarh is visible
from many kilometers.
As the name suggests, 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.
