Hot New Hotels: Devi Ratn in Jaipur, India

Recently singled out by The New York Times T Magazine as a "hotel to watch," the Devi Ratn is a contemporary vision of Indian design: "The latest jewel of India takes inspiration from Jaipur’s gem industry. At the 63-suite Devi Ratn, red sandstone is made into lyrical domes and arches, and surfaces sparkle with metal inlay." Anchored in the architectural tradition of Rajasthan, a region celebrated for its vibrant color and culture, the Devi Ratn also pays homage to Rajasthan's ancient astronomical observatories. The hotel's 'Devi Spa by L'Occitane'-- featuring signature treatments from the French brand-- will catapult the Devi Ratn into a leading spa destination. Every suite has views of the Aravali mountains, and if you book a villa, you'll get access to your own private pool and jacuzzi.
