Indias Mihir Garh named worlds most extraordinary hotel by Lonely Planet- Rajasthan fort named by Lonely Planet as the worlds most extraordinary hotel as publisher unveils three new top 10s, including best-value hotels and outstanding eco-hotels. Perched on a sand dune, overlooking the parched earth and shrubs of the Thar desert, Mihir Garh – or the fort of the sun – was a labour of love for owner Sidharth Singh, who says he was driven by intuition rather than reason; hiring more than 100 local craftsmen and carpenters who worked for two years to create nine 1,700sq ft suites, each with its own plunge pool, fireplace (made in the local style, from cow dung) and decorated in furnishings from Jodhpur. Few hotels are created without compromise, Mihir Garh is a rare example. This is not just a unique place to stay, its a shrine to the artistic and architectural traditions of Rajasthan in general and Jodhpur in particular, says Lonely Planet writer James Kay.
