"This Indian heritage property houses a new gallery dedicated to pichvai, an intricate hand-painted textile tradition from the region, led by Udaipur-based atelier Pichvai Tradition & Beyond, positioning the hotel as both a luxury stay and a platform for safeguarding and exhibiting local artistic heritage." - CNT Editors
"An 18th-century palace restored over roughly 15 years by two Indian architects and a workforce of about 750, located on land originally gifted between royal families. The renovation yields cinematic spaces—marble-floored suites that open onto carved jharokha balconies facing the Aravalli hills, manicured gardens scented with frangipani, and a light-filled spa focused on ancient Ayurvedic treatments. For a regal dining experience, guests can book an intimate private dinner inside a Sheesh Mahal adorned with hand-decorated mirrors, echoing the palace’s royal past." - Jennifer Flowers
"Housed in an 18th century palace in the village of Delwara, this heritage property features an outdoor pool, a spa and a business centre. Complimentary Wi-Fi access is provided. Nestled amidst the Aravalli Hills, Devi Garh by Lebua is 2 km from the Nathdwara Temple and 8 km from Eklingji and Nagda temples. Udaipur Railway Station and Udaipur are within 30 km away, while the Maharana Pratap Airport is 45 km away. The spacious suites are adorned with grand furnishings and intricately carved archways. They are air-conditioned, and feature a flat-screen TV, an iPod dock and an electric kettle. The large bathrooms come with a bathtub, shower and hairdryer. Devi Garh’s restaurant offers refreshing drinks and serves Indian specialities alongside international favourites. In-room dining is possible. Guests can have a quiet read in the library, or head to the tour desk for travel arrangements. Staff at the 24-hour reception can assist with luggage storage, currency exchange and concierge services." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
"Like the secret gateway to Narnia, and just as magical, this glorious 18th-century fort-palace - imposingly grand with its ramparts of domes, turrets and balconies - reveals an inverse interior that's gleaming, sleekly minimalist and quite breathtaking. You're suddenly encased in a modern and airy hotel, delicately carved from white marble and sweeping sheets of glass to create a clean, uncluttered aura that's a rarity in Rajasthan. Flashes of colour - the walls are hung with dramatic art or sparkle with semi-precious inlaid stones - highlight the elegant suites spread over the 14 floors of RAAS Devigarh. Venture from these superb hideaways for an Ayurvedic massage, a splash in the green marble pool, or supper in the pavilion restaurant, with spectacular views over the Aravalli hills to the tiny Delwara village below. This vista of eternal India from one of the country’s most contemporary constructions is an unbeatable combination for romantics and families alike. Exquisite. Highs The old fort exquisitely fuses traditional and modern style - our jaws hit the ground as we arrivedThe suites are all epic and totally unique; many have mind-blowing views over the surrounding landscapeThere's a huge green marble pool and sublime views from all areas of the fortOutstanding service, plus an excellent restaurant and terrace for sundownersThe marvellous spa offers a range of exclusive pampering treatments Lows Some would say it's too far from Udaipur, but we see it as the perfect base for visiting the increasingly large and polluted cityReturning guests may feel that the hotel has lost some of its former shabby charm in favour of full-on glamourAs this is a bit of a labyrinth, there are many steps to get up and down - but there is a liftThe extras - transfers, food, drinks - are pricey" - Mary-Anne Denison-Pender
"Frankly it’s astonishing that there aren’t more hotels like RAAS Devigarh. Not because 18th-century palace hotels are a dime a dozen in India — certainly they aren’t — but because the contrast between the faded majesty of the exterior and the sparkling modernity of the interiors is so striking. Of course a part of the impact depends upon the novelty of looking out from your all-white marble-floored minimalist fantasy of a suite through traditional <em>jharoka</em> windows over the rugged Rajasthani countryside." - Tablet Hotels
