Ramgarh Lodge, Jaipur – IHCL SeleQtions

Description

Located 30 kms from India’s famed Pink City, Ramgarh Lodge is the former hunting retreat of the Maharaja of Jaipur. Built in 1920, the 14-room European-style lodge is set in the midst of 8000 acres of farms and meadows around Ramgarh Lake – once India’s largest manmade lake - surrounded by a wildlife sanctuary with the mighty Aravalli Mountain Range on the horizon.The heritage lodge has a glorious past which translates into a luxurious contemporary retreat for global business and leisure travellers. Guests get to experience a throwback to the 1940’s when the late Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II and his wife Maharani Gayatri Devi entertained their glamorous friends and international dignitaries here during hunting seasons. Walk in the steps of Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Jacqueline Kennedy as you explore the imperial history of the lodge. Designed by Charles Geoffrey Blomfield – a pioneer of Indo-Sarcenic architecture – the single-storied building is stately yet intimate, with arches, trellised balconies and louvered bay windows looking out at manicured gardens. The interiors are textbook 20th century Art Deco. Chandeliers, a cosy fireplace and sitting nooks transport you to a time when modern-day princesses chatted with prime ministers and thrilling jungle stories circulated as the bubbly flowed. The original rooms and suites are available in three categories with modern amenities and atmospheric décor. The history of the lodge echoes in charming details, from the terrazzo flooring to imposing trophies and original 16th century vintage brass door handles. Exceptional lithographs along with pastoral and wildlife paintings by master artists like William Watson and Sir E. Landseer R A are talking points for art lovers.A vacation at Ramgarh Lodge promises the genteel life with bursts of adventure. Meals at Audhi Restaurant and sundowners at Chital Bar showcase a farm-to-table approach with fresh produce from our organic vegetable and herb gardens.
