Unique Properties

The entire hotel exemplifies bold, big, and captivating constituting subtle regional nuances. This is prevalent in the glistening ceiling design and lighting elements, colourful hues including a composition of vibrant decor items, furniture configurations, and customized soft furnishings depicting Rajasthani culture.
Dimensions & Packaging
Area: 20 Acres

Production Technology
Technology incorporated is majorly subjected to sustainability & viability. Extensive use of green material like fibre cement boards and stone laminates was incorporated. The existing doors which were fabricated with veneer finishes while being exposed to the external environment were replaced with UV boards with properties like energy efficiency, insulation, high quality, low maintenance, longevity & recyclability. Washable and sterile digital eco-friendly customised wallpapers were used.
Design Challenge
Lobby design was the most challenging area. The existing flooring in red chevron pattern was retained, emerging a major challenge where the entire sphere became a red monotone due to the red GRC architectural envelope. In order to wipe out the impact of red, the lobby is turned into an assortment of colourful hues through the composition of vibrant décor items, furniture configurations, lighting elements & customized soft furnishings enthused with peacock & butterflies from Bharatpur sanctuary.
Research
In the year 2012, the masterplan for this hotel property was created by Bhagwat and Associates and the architecture & interiors were done by Urban Studio. In 2019, the renovation of this architectural marvel was assigned to Designers Group, as Taj Hotels was on the verge of launching a new boutique brand called ‘SeleQtion’ by IHCL. Although the architecture of this hotel was remarkable, the interior grammar did not comply well with the overall envelope, exactly where Designers Group came in.
Inspiration
Keeping in mind the prominence of Devi Ratn as an individual brand, Ratn was kept as the core concept for the comprehensive design scheme. Hence, with a brief guideline from the authorities, the design team decided to work around the ‘Ratn’ theme while justifying the eminence of the parent brand; keeping intact the nobility of both the brands.
Project Duration
Project Duration: 9 Months
Location: Jaipur, India
Operation Flow
With design, geometry & surreal experiences, Devi Ratn is a blessing in disguise for tourists who visit Rajasthan to explore its charm. It is a place once visited that would leave a long-lasting impression on the visitor’s mind. Mirroring the essence of Jaipur amicably, this hotel is designed to enthral each heart.
