A property whose every corner reverberates with solitude and harmony, this is a wonderful place to visit with a loved one. You can even visit Mihir Garh alone if all you want is to pamper yourself and experience life differently for a few days. 

About the Property:

Mihir Garh is built on Mali Nathji ka Dhor, a sacred dune that owners Mr. Siddharth and Mrs. Rashmi Rohet would often visit to watch the sunset. The very foundation of the palace hotel is royal as this dune is also historically significant, dedicated to Warrior God in Marwar. Completed in 2009, the palace celebrates the glorious past, fused with state-of-the-art amenities of the current times. The architecture of this boutique hotel mirrors forts of 16th century, finished with chhatris, jharokas, and jaali. 

As you walk through the palace, get ready to be enamoured by the touch of local flavour that enhances the beauty of its carefully done corners. You will be ushered throughout your stay by staff hailing from Jodhpur, witness fireplaces created with cow dung and clay done up by women of Khandi and Haji villages, and bask in the glory of artifacts and furniture that have been exclusively curated in Jodhpur. Mihir Garh is unlike any other luxurious property as it resounds with rich heritage that will make you feel one with Jodhpur's culture.

Some of the highlights of Mihir Garh are sure to make you want to pack your bags right away. The property boasts of a minty blue swimming pool that overlooks a parched but gorgeous terrain. Imagine taking a swim in the middle of a desert underneath a sky drenched in sunset colours. Sounds heavenly, right?
