Nestled against the majestic backdrop of the Aravalli hills, Devi Ratn stands as one of the most cherished creations by our studio, eloquently weaving the narrative of Jaipur’s rich heritage. Spanning over an extensive 20-acre expanse, this boutique hotel ventures into revealing the quintessence of the Pink City through an exceptionally nontraditional lens, casting it in an entirely novel light.
The new wing at Devi Ratn emerges as a seamless continuum of the prior endeavor, where we embarked on the intricate task of aligning the novel theme with the prevailing elements. In keeping with the already established concept, which encompasses the iconic Jantar Mantar and showcases intricate spatial carvings, the primary objective was to ensure the new annex seamlessly merged with this existing narrative. Recognizing Jaipur’s distinguished reputation as a sought-after wedding destination, a meticulous effort was dedicated to shaping the new section into a pivotal locale for significant matrimonial occasions, complemented by a central landscaped expanse.
The new wing continues to be a contemporary ode to the traditional heritage and royal opulence right from the entrance. Two majestic elephants offer a royal welcome to the parametric reinterpretation of Jaipur’s timeless geometry of architectural motifs that find their way across the property.
Whether it is the reception area with its seamless blend of tradition and innovative design or the Pan-Asian restaurant celebrating Oriental heritage and contemporary aesthetics, the conference rooms skillfully fusing tradition and modernity by featuring Jaipur motifs on the panels, or the Jiva Spa integrating tent structures with terracotta-clad walls and tensile roofing, the design choice vividly illustrates the connection between the past and the present.
The architectural finesse of the building materializes through its graceful contours and curvature, where traversing the corridors unravels a new facet illuminated by the interplay of light, ingeniously crafted alcoves, a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor landscapes as well as the thoughtfully designed lounging areas. The guest rooms are graced with re-imagined Jaipur art, architecture and culture, highlighting the ‘Ratn’ theme with magnificent adornments that sparkle like radiant diamonds. These embellishments are meticulously created using traditional Rajasthani mirror work and grace the head-wall as a work of art that resonates with Jaipur’s rich heritage.
The new wing of Devi Ratn stands as an architectural marvel that not only venerates Jaipur’s legacy but also re-imagines it as an idyllic destination for modern weddings. This boutique hotel, skillfully fusing tradition and innovation, genuinely acts as a vibrant canvas portraying the dynamic essence of the Pink City.
