Devi Ratn – IHCL SeleQtions Luxury Hotel in Jaipur Stretched 20 acres across the foot of the Aravalli mountains, Devi Ratn, our luxury hotel in Jaipur, is a kaleidoscopic rendition of everything Jaipur stands for with its avant-garde, surreal and intricate design. A 45 minute ride from the airport, these premises are a vivid reimagination of the Pink City. With design and geometry, Devi Ratn narrates an astronomical story. Once in, you aren’t going to be forgetting the experience for a long time. Its sprawling architecture, inspired by the 18th century Jantar Mantar astronomical observatory and the coral pink reception with a domed ceiling ensures that. It follows through with latticework, geometric shapes, red-stone art, thekri (broken mirror) work, local craft like blue pottery, paisley and leheriya prints - strong local influences at every nook and corner with a rather contemporary treatment. The rooms and suites have paisley walls, terrazzo floors, day-beds by Jharokas with lattice-work. These chambers at varying heights, ensure a spectacular view of the Aravallis from every room. King-sized bathrooms with bathtubs and showers, complimentary Wi-Fi and creature comforts complete the list. Courtyards, gardens and plunge pools seal the argument, if any. The lawns on either side of Devi Ratn, a central garden and an infinity pool overlooking the lush summit, add to the grandeur of our resort in Jaipur. Three conference rooms and a ballroom by the lawn, are ideal spaces for occasions grand or intimate, be it an offsite meet or a destination wedding. Dining spaces raise the bar. Vyom, the all-day dining restaurant is an 18-feet pillared, vivid high-rise that serves contemporary Indian and Italian fare, both indoors and alfresco. The bar called Mandala virtually serves up its own constellation with its mirrored ceiling, skylight and neon tables. Step out and experience Jal, a pool-side cafe where you can savour finger-food and drinks with majestic views. And of course, unmissable are the unique dining experiences, for instance, a meal at its highest vantage point - the Machan, tuned with music, lamps and the glorious Aravallis. Recreation is in plenty. An indulgent Spa with signature treatments, stargazing, a DIY block-printing experience, adventure activities, a gymnasium and indoor games make Devi Ratn a comprehensive work of art that’s hard to come by.
