Stay Inside History: Discover Open Road Boutique Hotel, Jaisalmer’s Hidden Gem
There are few places in the world where you can sleep within the walls of a living, breathing, 850-year-old fort — and Jaisalmer Fort, known as the Golden Fort, is one of them. Rising like a sandcastle from the Thar Desert, this ancient marvel has stood the test of time, with narrow golden lanes, intricately carved havelis, bustling markets, and breathtaking views all around.
Tucked inside this architectural wonder is Open Road Boutique Hotel, a space that blends history, comfort, and modern luxury — creating a stay unlike anywhere else in Rajasthan.
Your Home Inside a UNESCO World Heritage Monument
Open Road Boutique Hotel isn’t just another hotel — it’s a doorway to the past, wrapped in modern comfort. Set within a 60-year-old traditional home that has been thoughtfully transformed, the hotel invites guests to experience the charm of living inside one of India’s most iconic forts without sacrificing contemporary comforts.
Each room has been carefully designed to offer a unique experience. Expect spacious interiors, minimalist modern furniture, and elegant touches like antique lighting, vintage decor, and subtle Rajasthani details that reflect the soul of Jaisalmer.
The hotel’s design respects the fort’s historical architecture while offering everything a traveler needs — air-conditioned rooms, comfortable bedding, attached bathrooms, tea/coffee facilities, and thoughtful workspace options for remote workers or digital nomads.
Rooftop Views & Quiet Corridors
One of the true highlights of Open Road Boutique Hotel is the peaceful ambiance that comes from being inside the fort, away from the city's hustle, yet right in the heart of history.
Guests can enjoy access to a private corridor and rooftop area, offering aerial views of the calm desert city and the fort's intricate stonework. Whether you're sipping tea in the morning or watching the golden hues of sunset light up the fort walls, the rooftop provides the perfect space to unwind and soak in the atmosphere.

At Open Road Boutique Hotel, hospitality goes beyond check-ins and bookings. We offer personalized service, with a dedicated manager and housekeeping staff always ready to assist you. Our team knows Jaisalmer inside out — whether you want to discover hidden gems inside the fort, need help arranging transport, or simply want recommendations for authentic food and cultural experiences, we’re here to help.
We also offer a free pick-up service from Jaisalmer’s railway station or bus stand — just let us know at the time of booking.

Our team will assist with your luggage and ensure a smooth arrival experience.

Location, Culture, and Unforgettable Memories
Staying inside Jaisalmer Fort means being surrounded by centuries of history — from palaces and Jain temples to bastions and hidden alleys waiting to be explored. Step outside your door, and within minutes you’ll discover vibrant markets, local artisans, ancient viewpoints, and the unique energy of India’s only living fort.
Despite being within the fort, the hotel offers a peaceful escape from the tourist crowds. And if you feel like experiencing a different side of Jaisalmer, head to Open Road Hostel & Cafe, our sister property just outside the fort.
