Devi Garh Hotel, Rajasthan

If we had to choose just one hotel to return to in India it would be to the Devi Garh!  This was a fantastic experience and we wished we could have stayed there longer!
From the moment of arrival........

when rose petals are dropped on one in the entry gate, this place is special.

We felt that our suite here was the best since we arrived in India.  It had everything one wants.... comfort, very modern, but old outside!

Marble is quarried locally and so white marble had been used everywhere with designs of the lotus flower set in semi precious stone....

The view from the window in the morning was spectacular...

 and our suite was just off a beautiful internal courtyard.

complete with a swing used by the Raj!

The food in the restaurant was excellent.......

As was the decor.......... flower petals were used everywhere!

And the view from our table in the morning was magnificent...

The pool had a fantastic location.....

We would like to go there for an extended period next time so that we can try out their spa facilities.

This session looked interesting!!

This was an old Palace Fort which had been left in ruins and when the present owners bought it, it was in a sorry state.  Crumbling wall, bats etc.
This is a photo of the stairs when the property was bought by the present owners.....

Today the stairs look like this......

They have done a fantastic job!
All the old rooms have been superbly redone.....

A public 'salon' .....

With a great view over the surrounding countryside...

It had a lot of beautifully decorated areas.......

Like this one with an elephant seat.....

which had beautiful designs on the walls....

We hated to close the door on leaving........

But we will return!!
