History
Suryagarh is a golden-sandstone fortress hotel set in the Thar Desert about 15 km outside Jaisalmer in Rajasthan. The MRS Group purpose-built it from the ground up on a virgin site in the late 2000s, entering the Jaisalmer hospitality business after recognising unmet demand from growing domestic and international tourism.
Construction was completed around 2009 and the hotel was inaugurated in 2010. Built in the local golden-stone idiom with courtyards, jharokhas and hand-crafted detailing, Suryagarh evokes the region's forts and havelis while offering contemporary boutique comfort. It is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and is known for its immersive desert experiences and Rajasthani cultural programming.
