Jawahar Niwas Palace Jaisalmer
- Gandhi Chowk Rd, Sadar Bazar, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan 345001
Jawahar Niwas Palace is a heritage palace hotel at No. 1 Bada Bagh Road, Jaisalmer, with about 22 rooms and a setting close to Mandir Palace. It was converted into a hotel by Jaisalmer’s royal family. It takes weddings, but its own capacities are not published and online listings disagree, so treat it as a boutique heritage venue.
ABOUT THE JAWAHAR NIWAS PALACE JAISALMER
Heritage Palace for Intimate Royal Weddings
Jawahar Niwas Palace is a sandstone residence of the Jaisalmer royal family, built around the turn of the 20th century. It has carved jharokha balconies, a decorated façade and the look of a Raj-era palace. It was later converted into a heritage hotel by the 43rd ruler of Jaisalmer, Maharawal Brijraj Singh. Listings say it has hosted dignitaries, including India’s first President and Prime Minister, British Viceroys, the painter M.F. Hussain and film names.
It is a small, character-led property rather than a resort. Listings describe about 22 air-conditioned rooms (7 super deluxe and 15 deluxe in one older listing) with antique-style furniture and carved balconies. They also describe lawns, a pool, a spa and gym, a bar and cultural entertainment such as Rajasthani folk music and dance, camel safaris and horse riding. Several of these come from third-party listings and need checking.
For couples, this suits a heritage-led celebration: a family wedding, a pre-wedding function or a buyout-style gathering where the palace, rooms and lawns are used together. Some aggregators claim capacities in the thousands. We would not promote it as a large-wedding venue until the palace confirms layouts, guest numbers and dates in writing. Its strengths are the royal-family association, genuine heritage and a central position near the old city.

- Super Deluxe Rooms: about 7 (older listing), with antique furniture and carved jharokhas

The hotel does not publish a full room breakdown online that I could find. At double occupancy, 22 rooms sleep roughly 44 guests, enough for the immediate family and wedding party.

Yes, wedding marketplaces list it for weddings, receptions, sangeet and engagements, and one lists overnight weddings as allowed. The hotel does not publish a wedding brochure that I could find, so confirm formats, dates and any buyout requirement with the palace.
There is no confirmed capacity. Listings range from about 100 guests up to several thousand for the lawn, and a meeting database shows one 25-person meeting room. Treat the palace as suited to small and mid-size gatherings until the hotel confirms in writing.

About 22 rooms, listed as deluxe and super deluxe. One wedding site says 200, which conflicts with every other source, so we do not use it. Guests beyond roughly 44 would need rooms elsewhere.
It is at No. 1 Bada Bagh Road, Jaisalmer, about 0.5 mile from Mandir Palace and 0.6 mile from Nathmal Ji Ki Haveli, per Tripadvisor. I could not confirm distances to Jaisalmer Fort, the railway station or the airport, so confirm them before publishing.
One listing says outside liquor is not permitted. Catering and décor policies are not published; confirm whether outside caterers and decorators are allowed.
October to February, when the desert weather is cooler and open-air events are comfortable. These are the busiest months in Jaisalmer, so enquire early. Summers are very hot.
