Perched on a hill in the Aravalli Range, RAAS Devigarh overlooks the village of Delwara and was built in the 18th century by Rajrana Sajja Singh II.

Made from locally mined marble, the palace’s original design was carefully preserved during its restoration, and in 1999, it became a heritage boutique hotel after 15 years of blending old-world charm with modern comforts.

The terraced structure remains intact, while the rooms offer all the contemporary amenities. Guests love the spa and swimming pool, which top the list of creature comforts here.
