Unbelievable Udaipur Luxury: Devi Palace Hotel Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're diving headfirst into the shimmering, opulent world of the Devi Palace Hotel in Udaipur. "Unbelievable Udaipur Luxury: Devi Palace Hotel Awaits!" – they aren't kidding. This place… this place is something else. And I’m going to be painfully honest because, well, that’s kinda my thing.
First Impressions: Jaw-Dropping, Then… Reality Hits (In a Good Way!)
The first thing that hits you? The sheer scale. I mean, picture this: you roll up, and it's not just a hotel; it's a palace. Seriously. The architecture? Jaw-dropping. The entry? Grand. I spent a good five minutes just standing there, mouth agape, feeling like I'd stumbled onto a Bollywood film set. (And let's be real, that part is absolutely amazing).
Accessibility is KEY (Thank Goodness!)
Now, as someone who sometimes needs a little extra help getting around (I'll spare you the details, but let's just say stairs and I have a complicated relationship), I was thrilled at how seriously they take accessibility. Wheelchair accessible throughout the public areas? Absolutely. Elevator access to all floors? You betcha. They also have facilities for disabled guests, which I didn’t need personally, but seeing them made me feel so much better. They give a damn! This is a HUGE win.
Rooms: Where Dreams and… Comfort Collide.
The rooms. Oh, the rooms! Okay, let's be real. We are talking serious luxury. Air conditioning, of course. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, bless their internet-loving hearts. I practically lived on the Wi-Fi [free] – updating Instagram, watching questionable documentaries, the works. They also have Air conditioning in public area. Internet access – wireless, Internet access – LAN. It’s a techie paradise! The extra long bed was a godsend after a day of exploring. Bathrobes and slippers, because duh. And a mini bar stocked with… well, let's just say it didn't survive the first day. Non-smoking rooms – a blessing for us with sensitive noses and a bit of a guilty pleasure. Blackout curtains? Needed 'em. Trust me. Desk and Laptop workspace for the few times I was forced to do actual work. Everything was there.
But here's the thing. While the room itself was beautiful, the internet… well, sometimes it was a bit… flaky. Not terrible, mind you. Just enough to make me curse under my breath a few times. And the wake up service? Let's just say there were a couple of mornings where I was a little late for breakfast. Small potatoes, really, but adding a bit of realness.
Delicious Delights: A Foodie's Paradise…with a Few Hiccups
Alright, food. This is where things get… interesting. The restaurants are gorgeous. And there's a ton of choice - Restaurants, Coffee Shop, Bar, Poolside bar, Snack bar.
The breakfast [buffet] was… well, it was HUGE. Asian breakfast, Western breakfast, you name it. I'm a sucker for a good Asian cuisine in restaurant and the Vegetarian restaurant, since I lean meat-free at times. But here is an example, not perfect: getting my omelet was a sport. The staff were lovely, but the kitchen was a bit overwhelmed at peak times. Still, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Bottle of water, Desserts in restaurant, and the occasional Breakfast in room made up for it. Room service [24-hour] is a lifesaver, especially when you're nursing a mild food coma. They also had Alternative meal arrangement options as well.
Wellness Wonders: Pampering Paradise (Mostly!)
Now, the spa… The spa is where things truly got magical. I spent a solid chunk of my time in the Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, and the Massage. They also had a Pool with view that was breathtaking. I didn't get into the Body scrub and Body wrap myself but they were available. Foot bath was the BEST way to end the day of exploring! The Gym/fitness was there.
The biggest drawback? Trying to book a massage. Because I should have booked mine in advance. The staff were incredible, but the demand was high.
Things to Do and Ways to Relax: Enough to Keep You Busy (or Blissfully Idle)
Udaipur itself is incredible, and the hotel provides a great base for experiencing it all. Things to do: There are Seminars, Meetings, but who has time for that? They also have Indoor venue for special events, Outdoor venue for special events, Meeting/banquet facilities, and Audio-visual equipment for special events, plus Wi-Fi for special events -- if you're into that sorta thing.
Now that I'm thinking about it, they had a Shrine! What is that about?
Safety and Cleanliness: Taking it Seriously (and Making Me Feel Safe!)
In a post-pandemic world, this is HUGE. They had Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, and Staff trained in safety protocol. They also kept Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, and Rooms sanitized between stays. I felt safe. And that, my friends, is priceless. There was a Doctor/nurse on call, a First aid kit, and Smoke alarms, just in case. They also had things like CCTV in common areas and Security [24-hour].
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
The concierge was AMAZING. Seriously, they could arrange ANYTHING. Need a taxi? Boom. Want to book a boat trip? Done. They had a Cash withdrawal. Currency exchange was super helpful. Daily housekeeping kept things spotless. Laundry service saved my life. Dry cleaning was a bonus. They have Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, and Car park [free of charge].
For the Kids: Family-Friendly… But?
I don’t have kids, but I noticed they had Babysitting service and Kids facilities. However, the vibe is definitely more romantic, so I think they will do well with Couple's room customers.
The Quirks, The Imperfections, And The Overall Verdict
Look, no place is perfect. The internet might hiccup sometimes. The breakfast buffet can be a bit chaotic during rush hour. But overall, the Devi Palace Hotel is stunning. It's luxurious, it's comfortable, and it’s a genuinely great place to stay. The staff are friendly and helpful. The spa is heavenly. The city is magical.

Odessa's Hidden Gem: Zirka Hotel Luxury Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, 'cause this ain't your grandma's travel itinerary. This is… my potential Hotel Devi Palace, Udaipur, India adventure. And trust me, it's gonna be a wild ride.
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Chaat Hunt (aka, My Stomach's First Impression)
- Morning (6:00 AM): Wake up in a jet-lagged haze that feels suspiciously like someone's trying to replace my brain with cotton candy. My flight landed ages ago, but my body clock's apparently still stuck in… wherever time zone I left. Find my way to the taxi that's meant to find me and hopefully find the Hotel Devi Palace. Pray the driver speaks some English because my Hindi is limited to "Namaste" and "Thank you" (which, let's be honest, usually gets me a blank stare).
- Morning (9:00 AM): Arrive at the Hotel Devi Palace. OMG, that lobby! It's all marble and intricately carved ceilings, like a Bollywood movie set (and probably a billion times more luxurious than any set I've been on). Check-in is a breezy affair, and I'm already mentally calculating how many selfies I can take by the giant, ornate mirrors. The room is a bit small, not what I booked, but whatever, I'll give it a chance.
- Morning (10:00 AM): First order of business: finding FOOD. My stomach is rumbling with the ferocity of a Bollywood dance number. I need chaat. NOW. Head out on a quest to find the best street food Udaipur has to offer. It's a total sensory overload – the smells of spices, the vibrant colours, the endless stream of people. I feel like I'm starring in my own delicious, slightly-panicked documentary.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): After more than an hour of wandering around, I found a little outdoor stall called "Rajat Chaat Bhandar". Okay, the actual chaat was pretty good but also a little too spicy. And now, I'm pretty sure I'm sweating out of every pore. Worth it? Absolutely. Regret it? Maybe later.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Back to the hotel room for a needed break. I'm going to re-hydrate, grab a book and crash on the bed or maybe sit at the hotel pool and do nothing, just soak up the sun and the atmosphere.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at the hotel restaurant, probably. I can't even imagine the possibilities. This is a moment of anticipation.
Day 2: Lake Pichola & the Palace of Dreams (and Avoiding Tourist Traps)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Okay, this is the day. Today, I tackle Lake Pichola and City Palace. I've done my research (mostly). I know I want the iconic shots, but I'm also determined to avoid being just another herd of tourists.
- Morning (9:00 AM): Hire a boat, that's the plan! The lake itself is breathtaking. The palaces on the islands… are actually dreamlike. I'm trying really hard to absorb it all and not just snap photos. This is where I think I actually fall in love with Udaipur.
- Morning (11:00 AM): City Palace time! This place is huge and I'm honestly a little overwhelmed. I get a guide (again, my attempt to avoid the tourist vortex) to explain the history. It's fascinating, but after a couple hours, my brain starts to glaze over a bit.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch in the charming, historic (and yes, touristy) streets around the City Palace. I'm going to try dal baati churma. Fingers crossed for a culinary victory.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Wandering the local bazaars. The fabrics, the spices, the jewelry… it's all so ridiculously beautiful and tempting. I know I'll cave and buy something I don't need. It always happens. And I am just gonna lean into it.
- Evening (7:00 PM): I've arranged a cooking class. If I manage to make something edible, it's a win. If I burn the kitchen down… well, at least it'll be memorable.
- Evening (10:00 PM): Reflect on the Day.
Day 3: The Jaggdish Temple and the Sunset that Broke My Heart (in the Best Way Possible)
- Morning (9:00 AM): I wake up with a lingering flavor of spices. It's going to be a good day! I'm going to visit the Jagdish Temple, hoping for a dose of serenity. Maybe I'll find it, maybe I won't, but I'll definitely take some pictures!
- Morning (11:00 AM): The temple is gorgeous, with intricate carvings. I feel a sense of peace there, and it's a nice relief from the chaos.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch is a random restaurant I found along the way.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): The final adventure. Now, I'm going to Saheliyon-ki-Bari garden. I have no clue what to expect, but I hear it's pretty.
- Evening (6:00 PM): The sunset over Lake Pichola. This is the big one. Find a perfect spot, watch the colours explode across the sky. I make sure to take pictures - lots of them.
- Evening (8:00 PM): Celebrate the entire trip.
Day 4: Departure and the Bitter-Sweet Goodbye
- Morning (7:00 AM): Final, leisurely breakfast at the hotel. Try to savour every bite.
- Morning (9:00 AM): Check-out time. Do a last sweep of the room for forgotten belongings (always).
- Morning (10:00 AM): One last chai at that random tea stall I found.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): Head to the airport with a heavy heart, but a camera roll full of memories and a suitcase crammed with souvenirs. I've been changed by this trip. Udaipur, you were something else.
Important Notes (and My Own Personal Imperfections):
- Food: Embrace the street food! Be prepared for spice. Carry antacids.
- Shopping: Bargain! Be prepared to be a little overwhelmed.
- Transportation: Learn the local transport options, expect delays and be prepared for some chaotic moments.
- Pacing: My schedule is probably ambitious. I'll probably miss things. I'm totally okay with that. It's the surprises, the happy accidents, that make the trip.
- Emotional Rollercoaster: Expect moments of sheer awe, coupled with moments of frustration, and then, the inevitable post-travel blues.
- The Unexpected: Embrace the chaos. The best travel stories are the ones that weren't planned.
- This itinerary is flexible, just like my ability to stick to a plan.
- Expect me to come back with more stories, experiences, and great photos.
- Namaste, Udaipur. Until next time…
