Suryagarh Jaisalmer is rich in history and heritage and offers a variety of curated trails and experiences in and around the hotel such as The Silk Route Exploration which is inspired by the southern route taken by the tradesmen in the 16th century through India and Pakistan over the Pamir of Central Asia heading towards the Indian hinterland. The merchants took shelter in the city of Jaisalmer as they came to trade or barter their exotic goods. Thus, Suryagarh remembers this journey with its interpretation of the Silk Route trade. Adding on to the explorations at the boutique hotel, Suryagarh Jaisalmer has thoughtfully curated some special F&B experiences such as Thar Dinner at Celebration Garden, Dinner on the Dunes, and Sundowners etc.
Narendra Bhawan Bikaner in its new avatar retells the story of the last reigning Maharaja of Bikaner, His Highness Narendra Singh Ji (1948 -2003). Born on the cusp of a New India when the old order had not entirely been replaced by the new, the young Narendra Singh Ji was coming into his own fashioned by the flavours and privileges around him. Keeping in mind the historical aspect, the hotel has a dining room known as P&C, a timeless and elegant place of dining that captures the charm of the lady of the house.
