Fort Rajwada Jaisalmer
- No.1, Hotel Complex, Jodhpur, Link Rd, Indira Colony, Barmer, Rajasthan 345001
Fort Rajwada is a fort-style hotel on about six acres in Jaisalmer, roughly 12 km from the airport and 2-3 km from the railway station. It has seven wedding venues, from Rajabagh, a lawn listed for 1,200 banquet guests, to a 250-guest courtyard, and about 100 rooms and suites, so large weddings usually add rooms nearby.
ABOUT THE FOR RAJWADA JAISALMER
A Fort-Style Hotel with Seven Wedding Venues
Fort Rajwada sits just outside Jaisalmer’s walled city on the Jodhpur-Barmer Link Road, on grounds of about six acres, facing the Jaisalmer Fort. The building is in a Rajasthani fort style of red-gold sandstone, jharokhas, arched entrances and stucco work, and the hotel says its balconies incorporate stone lattice about 450 years old. It dates from the late 1990s rather than the 16th century, which is worth knowing when positioning it, but the effect for guests is of a castle-like palace hotel.
What distinguishes it for weddings is the number and range of spaces. The hotel publishes seven venues with full capacity tables: Rajabagh (the largest, for up to 1,200 at banquet), Ranibagh (600), Fort View open banquet (300, framed by the lit sandstone façade), a pool and pool garden (350), a central lawn (200), a central courtyard for pheras and intimate dinners (250), and an indoor hall, Ganga Vilas (250). That is enough to run a welcome lunch, haldi, mehendi, sangeet, wedding and reception in one compound, which the hotel sets out in 2-day and 3-day sample itineraries.
The practical points are scale and lodging. The room count is roughly 100, so a very large wedding needs a wide external room block, and Jaisalmer itself means guests travel to a desert city. The hotel allows outside planners, decorators and vendors within its guidelines, offers Jain and other custom menus, and says exclusive use of the property may be available depending on dates and guest numbers. It suits couples who want a large, multi-function Jaisalmer wedding with fort views rather than a small, intimate one.

Rooms & Suites at Fort Rajwada Jaisalmer
The hotel lists a wide range of room types, from palace rooms to themed suites:
- Palace Room – Rajputana-inspired interiors, king bed (twin variants available)
- Royal Palace Room – garden view; also with private terrace or a round bed
- Palace Room Pool View and Palace Room with Private Plunge Pool
- Jaisalmer Suite – heritage accents, king bed
- Family Suite – the largest room, with two king-bedded bedrooms, tub bathrooms and living areas
- Rajwada Suite and Sheesh Mahal Suite – the top suites
The hotel does not publish how many rooms sit in each category, and total counts vary by source (90-113). That is modest against a 1,200-guest lawn, so for larger weddings we would plan to give the family and wedding party the on-site rooms and arrange an external block with transfers for everyone else.

You Asked, We Answered
Up to 1,200 guests at a banquet and 1,500 in theatre style on Rajabagh, according to the hotel's published capacity tables. Its other six venues range from 200 to 600 banquet, so functions can be spread across the property. Confirm the layout and any shared capacities with the hotel.
The hotel does not publish wedding pricing; it provides a custom proposal based on dates, guests, rooms, functions, décor and entertainment. A marketplace listing shows about ₹1,300–1,600 per plate, but this is undated. The Event Designer can request a current quote.
No. It is a fort-style hotel built in the late 1990s (a directory gives 1998, a press release says 1999) and renovated in 2011. The hotel says it incorporates stone lattice balconies about 450 years old. Couples wanting a genuinely historic setting may prefer a property inside or beside the old fort.
The hotel says 104 rooms and 9 palace suites, while other sources give 90 to 100 rooms in total. Counts vary, so confirm before planning a room block. For weddings of several hundred guests, extra rooms in nearby Jaisalmer hotels are usually needed.
About 12 km from Jaisalmer Airport, and 2.2 to 3.5 km from the railway station (the hotel quotes both). The hotel can arrange transfers. Jaisalmer is a long way from major cities, so guests usually arrive by flight or overnight train and need a transfer plan.
Yes, according to the hotel, subject to its guidelines, safety rules and venue-protection approvals. The hotel also offers in-house planning, customised menus (including Jain) and says exclusive use of the property may be available depending on dates and guest numbers.
Peak wedding season in Jaisalmer is the cooler months, roughly October to February, and the hotel advises starting 6 to 12 months ahead for weddings and peak-season dates. Summers are very hot, and the indoor Ganga Vilas hall gives a weather-proof option.
