Hotel Devigarh
Tucked
away in the age-old Aravali hills of Rajasthan, the 18th century Devi Garh Fort
Palace, in the village of Delwara commands one of the three main passes into
the valley of Udaipur. Sajja Singh, who hailed from the neighbouring state of
Gujarat, was awarded this strategically significant principality, in recognition
of his bravery and loyalty to Maharana Pratap against the Mughal emperor Akbar,
at the battle of Haldighati (1576).
The actual construction of the fort palace started only in the 1760s, under
Raghudev Singh II, with further additions being made to the structure by the
rulers who followed. The palace was absorbed into the state of Rajasthan in
the 1960s, and was subsequently abandoned.
Today, after years of restoration and reconstruction, Devi Garh has regained
its past glory. An imposing and impressive structure, it is now a unique all-suite
boutique hotel, with 23 suites and 6 tents.
Devi Garh stands, quite literally, in two worlds: the traditional and the modern.
Its ambience is an eclectic mix of skillfully crafted designs, both old and
new, functional and purely aesthetic. Local materials like marble and semi-precious
stones have been used in contemporary designs to create an elegant beauty. Personalized
service complemented by a wide range of modern facilities goes towards making
Devi Garh a comfortable and attractive retreat.
Udaipur is easily accessible via air from Delhi or Mumbai, with convenient road
and rail connections too. Local taxis are easily available from the airport
or train station to transport guests to Devi Garh. Alternatively the hotel can
organise a car to pick up the guests upon their arrival at Udaipur, if they
so desire.
Devigarh is the perfect romantic getaway in the desert land of Rajasthan. Devi
Garh is about 28 km away from Udaipur and 5 km from Eklinji (along NH 8) in
southern Rajasthan. Takes about 45 minutes driving time from Udaipur city. Devigarh
is selected in the Tatler Travel Guide for 2001, as one of the 101 best hotels
in the world.
It’s not cheap honeymooning here in one of the world’s best palace
hotels… but if you want a memorable hideaway for one of the most momentous
occasions of your new life together, this is the place to be…. So, escape
to Devi Garh’s fantasy world of luxury suites and private pools, cooling
fountains and open air Jacuzzis.
Location
Situated 26 kilometers North-East of Udaipur, Devi Garh is a convenient 45 minutes'
scenic drive from the city. The fort, surrounded by lush green fields and mountains
on three sides, overlooks the village of Delwara and is close to the temples
of Eklingji and Nagda. The combination of a traditional Rajasthani village,
the towering fort and the temples, makes for an interesting mix.
Accomodation
The hotel consists of 23 suites which have been individually designed and styled.
All the suites are more than 700 square feet in size, and include a separate
sitting and dining area while some also have dressing rooms and balconies. The
Devi Garh Suite along with a private Jacuzzi, shares a black marble swimming
pool and pavilion with a palace Suite. The Aravali Suites offer breathtaking
views of lush green fields and mountains from large bay windows.
The palace Suites are embellished with semi precious stones that reflect the
colours of Rajasthan. The Garden Suites have a private tented terrace overlooking
a field of flowers. Six Shikhar tents are also available on request.
All of the 23 suites at Devi Garh are unique; luxurious and beautiful, yet equipped
with the most modern of conveniences to make a guest feel totally at home. Most
suites include an individual terrace or garden. The premium suite, called the
Devi Garh suite, has a swimming pool and a jacuzzi, of its own. Each suite is
embellished with marble and semi-precious stones, while the public spaces are
designed around different metals. Six tents are also available on request from
October to March.
Recreation & Leisure
Devi Garh away from the stress of the city, is a perfect place to optimize your
well being. Combined with the Gymnasium, steam, sauna, Jacuzzi, and beauty parlour,
we offer something more profound: complete Ayurvedic therapies, Ayurveda is
a traditional Indian form of holistic medicine which has been handed down over
the centuries by ancient physicians. Our therapists use medicated oils and herbal
pastes for different therapies-ranging from relaxing massages to complex treatments.
For the renewal of your energies, one needs an environment of total harmony
to reach inner peace. The calming effects of our white rooms is further enhanced
by experiencing Yoga (control on the body, breath and mind) and Dhyana (meditation)
on the ramparts of the Palace, at the time of sunrise. Throughout your stay,
healing powers of the enveloping silence is broken occasionally by the sounds
of running water in the courtyards.
Make your holiday a complete one. Leave rejuvenated and refreshed; with your
individual self in harmony with the universal self.
