Our hotel in Jaisalmer was beautiful and designed to look like an old palace. The "Saryah Garh" hotel had only one flaw. It was too far outside of the city. However, if you like the solitude and quiet of the desert then this place would be perfect. It had a fantastic spa and wonderful excursions they would organize for us (camel trekk was organized this way). We have great memories of our time spent here.
The distance from the city did have one advantage since you got a fantastic view of the starts. Here is an attempt to capture the brightness of the moon and stars at night. The hotel was illuminated in a romantic glow but didn't detract from the magnificent night sky.
Here's some pictures from our time walking through the streets of Jaisalmer.
