Mihir Garh is an exclusive nine suite boutique hotel where each room offers you more than 1700 sq. of pure luxury. The private terraces, courtyards, plunge pools and Jacuzzi seem to whisper a single word: Indulge.
Here, serenity and splendour come together to create an experience for you. While exotic drinks from your personal mini-bar become the manna for a sultry summer afternoon, the fireplace morphs into an intimate friend for wintry nights.
You can pamper yourself with the variety of treatments available at Mihir Garh's Vilasa spa or rejuvenate at the poolside while watching the endless deserts meditate with the horizons. The delectable cuisines too aim to please - from traditional to continental - to suit your palate.
Mihir Garh acts an envoy of Rajasthan's rich heritage and culture. The majestic fort seems to emerge from the desert and complements the rugged beauty of the land. The workmen (over a hundred of them) come from the region itself bringing in the local lilt. The soft, stylish furnishings have been bought from the Jodhpur region alone.
The village women of Khandi and Haji have lovingly created the fireplaces using age old technique of cow dung and clay! From paintings to curtain holders, every little thing has been specially designed for Mihir Garh.
Mihir Garh offers you a plethora of activities. The village Safari is hotel's signature program and guests across cultures have referred to it as the "highlight" of their stay. The equestrian program is equally special as horses belong to the famed Marwari' breed - an ancient and indigenous breed of India, offering you an unparalleled riding experience.
Al fresco breakfasts, amidst nature, ensure your day begins well. Royal picnics from an era long gone beside a lake so you can luxuriate under the specially designed tent while the, traditionally dressed servers cosset every need of yours. Culinary workshops and demonstrations are held so guests can learn to make the delicacies that they enjoy here. The recipes come from books on traditional Rajasthan cooking authored by the owner's mother, Late Thakurani Sahiba Jayendra Kumari.
In the suites of Mihir Garh, you will be living The Paradox: modern amenities in a city know for its traditions; soft stylish furnishings within a barren land. Indeed, sheer indulgence amidst vast wilderness. At Mihir Garh are nine magnificent suites and each offers you over 1700 square feet of private space.
Alishan is the name given to the suites on the ground floor, each of which comes with its own plunge pool and personal courtyard.
Meanwhile, the suites on the first floor are called Shandar and have an exclusive open air Jacuzzi along with a private terrace.
Alishan and Shandar - the names come from the fine Marwari Stallions from the Rohet Stables. The suites have been personally visualised and realised by owners with the help of talented team. Every detail is taken care of: The smallest of furnishings have been handpicked after careful deliberation.
At Mihir Garh team strives to offer you the very best: from furnishings to linen, as well as toiletries.
The flooring of each room has been done using a special plaster technique known to only one man in the entire region. He along with a helper have put in hours of labour in creating the very exclusive floors that Mihir Garh boasts of.
To ensure absolute comfort, each suite is equipped with all modern amenities like flat screen TVs, DVDs, Tea & Coffee stations and mini bars. Meanwhile, to add to the contemporary chic, hotel has a touch of tradition in every room: hand crafted fire-places created by women from neighboring villages!
The suites at Mihir Garh will morph themselves to fulfill your needs: be it for solitude or intimacy, for opulence or meditation.
The Vilasa Spa comprises two treatment rooms with interiors that pay tribute to the rural arts and create a sense of well-being set within a walled garden. A diverse menu of therapies ensures you experience the mood and essence that your mind and body demands.
From rousing reflexology to cleansing scrubs and relaxing massages, the organic and ayurvedic products we use are made with ingredients from the desert, blended with an array of healing herbs that leave you feeling relaxed and heavenly.
Mihir Garh's Vilasa Spa is the perfect luxury indulgence in the Thar desert.
The winter months attract a vast variety of birds into the region, where in a good year up to 200 different species can easily be sighted. The lakes and Jheels around Mihir Garh are a haven for birds.
Guests can experiment with their own favorite recipes until they are confident that they can re-create the same taste at their homes.
The equestrian program at Mihir Garh is among the finest in the country. The best specimens of the Marwari breed of horses will give you a sense of sheer strength and freedom, as you ride across the vast, virgin wilderness.
The set under an ornate tent pitched exclusively for you by a small lake, the delicious food and wine laid upon crisp covers, the live music orchestrated by the gentle ripples of the lake, the birds going about their daily chores.
The Shikar Dinners take you back to the days of the Raj, when Shikar (hunting) was the sport of the day. This led to many a night spent out in the wilderness, waiting in the dim moonlight of the Thar Desert.
The little mud houses, the turban clad men, the shy, beautiful women, dressed in their traditional costumes. To make this experience, even more intimate, the guests visit the homes of the village folks and share a slice of their life.
