4-star hotels in Jaisalmer
A shortlist of 4-star hotels in Jaisalmer, from haveli-style stays inside and beside the fort to desert resorts out along Sam Road. It suits couples, families and business travellers who want a rated, class-checked base in the Golden City.
Staying in Jaisalmer
Jaisalmer is a city of golden sandstone, crowned by the Jaisalmer Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors come for the fort's lanes and temples, the ornate havelis, Gadisar Lake, and the desert at the Sam Sand Dunes, reached along Sam Road. The old city is compact and walkable, and camel safaris and desert excursions are part of the draw. Around the fort and the old-city lanes are Hotel Durjay Garh on Patwa Ki Haveli Malka Pol, Hotel Vasshifa Palace at Dibba Para, Hotel Grand Khalifa near Airforce Circle, Fate Marg, and Killa Bhawan on the fort itself at Kotari Para. Out along Sam Road and the Sam Sand Dunes are The Carvaan Resort, Heritage Juma Resort with swimming pool, Heritage Juma Resort Camp, KF Resort Pvt Ltd and Country side resort Jaisalmer, with Suryagarh on Sam Road at Kahala Phata and Hotel Jaisalkot at Kuldhara Turn. In the city itself are Hotel Antra Inn in Cv Singh Colony and Sonaar Haveli on Ramgarh Road. Couples and short-break visitors tend to prefer the fort-side addresses, families the resorts with pools and family rooms, and business travellers the city hotels with business centres and banquet space.
