Deogarh Mahal is an imposing structure built in 1670 A.D. At a height of about 2100 ft above sea level, it is cooler than surrounding Rajasthan. Built by Rawat Dwarka Dasji as a family residence, it soon became the hub of village activity.

The family interacted with the villagers and invited a host of feasts and festivities to be performed within the Mahal precincts. Some of these traditions are still practiced. And the gates, that always remained closed, to ward off enemies, are now open to the guests. Deogarh lies on the borders of Mewar, Marwar and Merwara, about 80 miles north-east of Udaipur.

Its chieftain known as 'The Rawat' was one of sixteen Umraos (feudal barons) privileged to wait upon the Maharana of Udaipur. Such, feudal estates called Thikanas were granted by the ruling Maharana to a nobleman either due to blood relationship or for an act of bravery. Deogarh is also renowned as a school of miniature painting.

Some Deogarh miniatures adorn the personal collection of the present Rawat Sahib. Frescoes of this art form can also be seen on the fort walls. Deogarh Mahal also has some exciting rooms to browse through Sheesh Mahal - the colourful hall of mirrors, is just one of them!

Outstanding cuisine and traditional hospitality are offered to the guests in magnificent surroundings. Home grown fruits and vegetables, in-house milk products and oils provide a delectable and distinct freshness to the food. The hotel also offers delicious seasonal jams and juices. Airy terraces offer a splendid view of the hills and lakes as one sunbathes, reads or watches the sun set.
