Standing amidst sultry sands of a desert like a hallucination, an exotic palace that shines in golden yellow like a fortress of heaven; one cannot take his eyes off the exquisite place and often adorns it with one fancy word- Dreamy! Such is the grandeur of Mihir Garh- that ranks high in the tally of the most extraordinary hotels of the world.
Embracing the Khandi village in Thar Desert of Rajasthan, Mihir Garh seems to rise from the sand dunes itself as a royal castle that offers nine suites with spectacular opulence. Walls tinted with splashes of pale yellow give a touch of quaint village life with richness of culture. The nine suites of extravagance offer a once in a lifetime experience of luxurious stay with over an area of 1700 square. Embellished with heart-warming fireplace, one can feel the calmness in the place that is great to snug in the arms of your loved ones. The private pools or Jacuzzis are fabricated to provide the guests with wintry experiences in the torrid weather of the desert. Assembled with scenic beauty, the destination offers spectacular view for your sparkling eyes just like euphoria. The interior décor of the suites will enrich your royalty stay- Cream colored pardahs that add subtlety, candle light lamps that provide warmth, paintings with splashes of colors, and furniture that links traditional heritage to the modern way of living.
Belonging to the House of Rohet, the world-class luxe is the possession of Siddharth Rohet and Rashmi Rohet, who can be credited for the illustrious presence of this royale fort. The luxury hotel is not just a property but it holds pure emotional essence and love of the owner. The careful craftsmanship of more than a hundred workers and artists in the scorching heat of summers resulted in the beautiful palace that welcomes travellers and guests with its warm hospitality. And finally in 2009, the magnificent Mihir Garh came into existence- a place that redefined the phrase ‘Dream come true’.
