Hotel Devi
Garh Palace
Tucked away in the age-old Aravali hills of Rajasthan, the 18th century
Devigarh 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 Devigarh
Palace was absorbed into the state of Rajasthan in the 1960s, and
was subsequently abandoned.
Today, after years of restoration and reconstruction, Devigarh has
regained its past glory. An imposing and impressive structure, it
is now a unique all-suite boutique hotel, with 23 suites and 7 tents.
Devigarh 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 Devigarh
a comfortable and attractive retreat.
