Nestled within its bastion walls, the hotel comprises of three stylishly refurbished houses, all offering spectacular Arabian Night views. The hotel is run by a co-partnership between a Swiss-Italian who oversees the design and ensures its facilities match with western standards and a local from Jaisalmer who provides unmatched Rajput hospitality.

All are spacious in size and furnished with period furniture and decorated with fine fabrics in vibrant Rajasthani colours.
