About the city
Deep in the heart of the Thar Desert is Jaisalmer, one of the last
princely bastions in the region. Founded on what was the cross - road of
lucrative trade routes, this remote settlement came to be celebrated for the
valour of its rulers, and for the aesthetic sense represented by their
palaces and havelis.

The
rich merchants engaged stone - craftsmen who worked delicately on the
sandstone mansions they built, filling up facades with sculptural filigree,
screen windows, delicate pavilions and beautiful balconies.
About the Hotel

Himmatgarh Palace offers all modern conveniences in the ancient town of
Jaisalmer. The hotel built of the same yellow sandstone as the Jaisalmer
fort is a perfect counterpoint to the desert. Situated just outside the
fort, right opposite Vyas Chhatris (or the sunset point as it is called) the
hotel provides a breathtaking view of the entire fort.
