Expert reviews:

Concierge

"Each 1,100-square-foot suite is pitched on a raised stone base, with its own enclosed veranda, in-room seating, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower but no tub."

A hair dryer has to be requested, as well as the services of a staffer to whisk one's valuables away for safekeeping.

Travel + Leisure

"Twenty-one 1,400-square-foot canvas guest rooms rest on smooth Jaisalmer stone foundations and have spacious covered verandas (five have private plunge pools)." Full review

Condé Nast Traveler

Readers' Choice Award

"A 45-minute drive from Jaisalmer’s beautiful pink-sandstone fort city, The Serai has 21 grand campaign-style tents arrayed in two rows like a colonial encampment amid scrubby, featureless terrain." Full review

A heater, towel warmer, and hot-water bottles keep you cozy in the desert’s chilly night, although other typical basics are oddly absent from the elegantly spare accommodations: A hair dryer has to be requested, as well as the services of a staffer to whisk one’s valuables away for safekeeping.
