Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) has announced the addition of Gorbandh Palace in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan to its SeleQtions portfolio. This is the 200th hotel in IHCL’s portfolio.
Nestled in the heart of the Thar Desert, the hotel is a mélange of modern comfort that blends seamlessly with old-world Rajasthani legacy.


Gorbandh Palace, Jaisalmer – IHCL SeleQtions, a regal oasis set amidst lush gardens in the heart of Jaisalmer, features 83 guest rooms and suites. Named after the traditional ornamental camel necklace, symbolic of Rajasthani tribes, hotel’s design pays homage to Jaisalmer’s storied past.


We are delighted to open Gorbandh Palace in Jaisalmer which also marks the momentous milestone as IHCL’s 200th operating hotel. This completes the important tourist circuit of Jaipur-Jodhpur-Jaisalmer. We are honoured to collaborate with Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar for the third hotel in our partnership of over 50 years.
