Devi Ratn – IHCL SeleQtions

Stretched 20 acres across the foot of the Aravalli mountains, Devi Ratn is a bold, kaleidoscopic rendition of everything Jaipur stands for with its avant-garde, surreal and intricate design. Here, where lines are made of curves and every nook opens into a new aesthetic, lies a blend of the astronomical and the historical. A space as dynamic as those who enter its lobby, these premises are a vivid reimagination of the Pink City. With design and geometry, under the stars.

The domed coral pink reception welcomes you into the sprawling architecture, inspired by the 18th century Jantar Mantar astronomical observatory, the sun peeking through the elaborate latticework to illuminate geometric shapes, red-stone art, thikree work, and local craft like blue pottery, paisley and leheriya prints. Much like Old Jaipur, Devi Ratn is designed to have no dead end, with each pathway opening into a new space.

The guest chambers, at varying heights and adorned with paisley walls, ensure a spectacular view of the Aravallis, with suites and rooms having day-beds beside latticed Jharokas, and the Deluxe and Premium rooms exuding warmth, structure, and dynamism , Devi Ratn’s characteristic play of light and shadows adding to the viewing experience in every room. Courtyards, gardens and plunge pools at the villas seal the argument, if any.

Sunshine and starlight illuminate the outdoor lawns on either side of Devi Ratn, while spacious conference rooms and a ballroom by the lawn, await occasions grand or intimate, be it an offsite meet or a destination wedding.

Dining spaces take the experience a notch above. Vyom, the all-day dining restaurant, serves contemporary Indian and Italian fare, both indoors and alfresco, the Aravallis serving as constant companions, while Oriental Pavilion offers authentic, delectable Asian cuisine. Mandala, the bar, virtually serves up its own constellation with its mirrored ceiling, skylight and neon tables, the locally inspired beverages a must-try. For those snacking in between laps, Jal, a pool-side café, delights with majestic views and comfort food & drinks. Personal moments, too, are best commemorated with a meal at Machan – the highest vantage point, tuned with music, lamps, and the glorious Aravallis. For celebrations with family and friends, the Vyom Terrace provides a memorable evening under the stars.

Recreation is in plenty. An infinity pool, our indulgent Jiva spa, adventure activities, a gymnasium, indoor games, and a specially curated, dynamic SeleQtions Experience menu that includes unique experiences like stargazing, cycling, traditional games, street food carts, and more make Devi Ratn a comprehensive getaway, catered to souls of every kind. Pets, too, may rejoice at a play area designed just for them.

There you have it. An inventive expression of the pink city with its unique design, location and architecture. Just 45 minutes from the airport, the Devi Ratn experience is summed up in one word – astronomical..
