Fodor's Expert Review Fort Rajwada

No. 1 Hotel Complex, Jodhpur-Barmer Link Rd., Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, 345001, India

It might not be particularly convenient, but the architecture and interior design here are interesting and the suites are quite luxurious. Inside, French-style features are blended with historic Marwari touches: the large entryway once belonged to a 16th-century haveli from the local fort. Standard rooms are Western, with contemporary furnishings, but take a suite and you'll get frescoes and antique beds with pure silver bedposts. The restaurant, Sonal, serves à la carte Indian, Chinese, and Continental food, and the rooftop bar is good for sunset and fort views. Bathrooms could be better.
