With its signature blend of Rajput panache and cutting-edge cool, RAAS Devigarh is among India’s most stylish hotels. The palace itself, set amid beautiful hill country 40 minutes out of Udaipur, is a flamboyant, faded gem of regional architecture, but it’s the interiors that really captivate here.
Each of the 39 suites use exposed stone and lime-white as backdrops for splashes of amber or emerald-green silk, and elegantly minimalist furniture. The common areas, such as the black-marble courtyard in the shape of a lotus flower, are equally delightful.
Everything invites you to relax and gaze through the arched windows across a tranquil landscape of desert hills. Dine in the mirror-encrusted Sheesh Mahal, or under the stars in a candle-lit jharokha balcony on the rooftop.
Our opinion
A deluxe hotel with a great spa and wellness activities on the outskirts of Udaipur.
