golden city Jaisalmer, stands tall as the Flagship of the
hospitality industry. This nineteenth century ancestral property was
restored and converted into a hotel in 1982. Its golden sandstone
structures and intricate carvings are a tribute to the talent of the
master craftsmen of the bygone era.

'Trade route'. It has changed with the passage of time. Today, it boasts
of 43 rooms with modern facilities, an indoor swimming pool, a well
stocked bar, sprawling lawns, restaurants, a coffee shop and a warm
Smiling staff.
Amidst grand and majestic surroundings Narayan
Niwas Palace Hotel stands overlooking the town having a magnificent view
of the Jaisalmer Fort. A royal welcome awaits you on arrival, to be
escorted to one of 43 airconditioned rooms of Hotel Naryan Niwas Palace
Jaisalmer, each bearing testimony to the ethnic grandeur and beauty of
Rajasthan.
Rawal Jaisal, a descendent of the Yadav Clan and a
Bhati Rajput, laid the foundation of this city in 1156 A.D.. Trikuta was
the hill chosen and Jaisal abandoned his old fort at Lodurva and
established this new capital. The Bhati Rajputs of Jaisalmer were feudal
chiefs who lived on the forced levy on the caravans that crossed their
territory en-route Delhi. These caravans, laden with precious cargoes of
spices and silk brought great wealth to this town. Because of its remote
location, Jaisalmer for years remained untouched by outside influences
and during the British raj, the rulers of Jaisalmer were the last to
sign the instrument of agreement with the British.
This
included apart from traditional royal hospitality and entertainment,
camel safaris and desert camps. As word of our excellence spread across
the world the need arose to expand and this, in 1980 resulted in the
restoration of a 130 year old ancestral Place belonging to Maharaja
Shivdan Singh Ji in to Jaisalmer's first deluxe heritage Hotel Narayan
Niwas Palace, named after Maharaja Narayan Singh Ji, father of Maharaja
Mahendra Singh Ji. This today is the flagship of not only the company
but the entire hospitality industry of Jaisalmer.
