RAAS Devigarh

Cacooned by its heritage walls, Devigarh's interiors are gleaming -beginning with the sleek bar, just perfect for sunset cocktails on the balcony or chai masala in the cushy lounge. Home-grown, seasonal menus are yours to peruse at the hotel's many dining spots - from the sunlit Janana Courtyard to the grand Sheesh Mahal where the royals once entertained their guests. Enjoy a dip in the heated pool or treatments of every kind at the spa, with its fusion of Indian and Mediterranean styles. There's extra fun to be had with a game of pool or reclining with a book from the library!

Nature-inspired murals adorn the walls of Devigarh's four suite types. The Garden Suites overlook lush grounds and come with a private tented terrace and outdoor lounge. Palace Suites look out over the mountains and quiet Delwara from its wide windows - and the decorated archways really give the feel of a bygone palace. The ornate Aravalli Suites are filled with colourful, traditional motifs and the Devigarh Suite has a royal touch thanks to its golden finishes, private sundeck and jacuzzi. To top it off, the black marble pool with secluded dining is idyllic. The en-suite marble bathrooms come with a walk-in shower and deep bathtub.

Under the gaze of Devigarh, the hillside town of Delwara is at your fingertips as the hotel's well-trained guides lead you past centuries old Jain temples. For an extra dose of nature, venture over to Palera Talab, a shimmering lake with two domed pavilions on the water. Make use of Devigarh's complimentary drive into romantic Udaipur where its eye-grabbing palaces, sprawling gardens and lakes aplenty are yours to explore. History and colourful handicrafts abound in the curving lanes as street food fills the air with flavour.
