Constructed by Maharawal Shri Shalivahan Singh Ji of Jaiselmer in 1899 A.D, the Jawahar Niwas Palace is built entirely in golden sand stone by the Gajdhars (master craftsmen). The palace, a symbol of elegance, grace and regal charm has been renovated into an elite hotel by the present Maharawal Shri Brijraj Singh Ji, keeping in mind the old ambience and the royal splendor. It is located at a mere distance of 1.5 km from the airport, 2.5 kms from the railway station and half a km from the bus stand. This heritage hotel, which has intricately carved Jharokhas and Chhatries in typical Jaisalmer offers a breathtaking view of the fort, the surrounding city.

The 22 elegantly furnished rooms offer a bewitching ethnic appeal along with contemporary hotel facilities like telephones with STD/ISD facilities, attached baths with hot and cold running water, showers, color televisions, satellite connection, free newspaper, fire places, room service, alarm clock and hairdryers. Styled in medieval style to recreate the brilliant lifestyle of the opulent Rajputs, some of the rooms offer a scenic view of the grand Jaiselmer Fort. Other hotel facilities extended by Jawahar Niwas are travel desk, barber shop, courier service, front desk, parking, safe deposit box, conference facilities, luggage storage, doctor on call, laundry, dry cleaning, baby sitting, currency exchange and wake up services.
