In this blog post, I cover Regenta LP Vilas, a 4-star hotel in Dehradun managed by the Royal Orchid Hotels Limited.
It's hard to imagine that the city of Dehradun - which is also the capital of Uttarakhand state - does not have a single 5-star hotel in the region to boast of. The closest that any hotel has gotten in terms of offering a 5-star like ambiance is the Regenta LP Vilas on Chakarata Road, Nanda Ki Chowki, where I happened to stay for a night!
Regenta LP Vilas is conveniently located on the Ambala-Poanta National Highway with easy connectivity to local tourist and shopping attractions. Being in the heart of the education and industrial belt of Dehradun, it is popular both with the corporate and leisure travelers. The nearest airport and railway station are just 39 km and 12 km away, respectively.
Regenta offers a classic ode to the bygone era of the Rajput and the Mughal dynasties. It has the largest banquet and convention center in Uttarakhand with over one lakh square feet of banqueting space and 74 well-appointed rooms that combine to offer guests a taste of luxury as well as grandeur.
With the right infrastructure in place to host large-scale events like Luxury Weddings and Social Functions, Off-sites, Residential Conferences, Conventions and Exhibitions, Fashion Shows, Product Launches, Literary Events and Festivals, Regenta LP Vilas is en route to becoming a force to reckon with!
For the uninitiated, the Finance Minister - Government of Uttarakhand Prakash Pant chose Regenta over other premier properties in Dehradun to host the wedding reception of his daughter Namita who is a Judge Advocate General in the Indian Army. Yours truly was also invited to be a part of the grand celebration on March 19, 2018.
Suffice to say, Regenta played the perfect host, providing the couple a memorable start to their long and happy wedlock.
If you were to ask me, the reception was straight out of a dream - full of rich traditions, fervor, and royalty. Each and every corner of the wedding venue was adorned with utmost allure and artistry to make those special moments unforgettable, not only for the bride and groom but for their friends and families as well.
A fine confluence of hospitality and heritage, the majestic Regenta LP Vilas by Royal Orchid Hotels, the leading chain of business and luxury hotels in India, stands out for its aesthetics and ambiance.
Every painting, chandelier, carving, or window niche used inside the property took me back to the royal heydays of Rajasthan. Fine attention to details is given to ensure that you enjoy a unique blend of heritage and elegance.
The architectural marvel offers eight venues to promote luxury destination weddings in the region. These venues are Mewar, Rajputana, Vindhya, The Royal Garden Lawns, Shivalik, Aravali, Courtyard, and Terrace Garden. Pick an open or a closed venue based on your requirement.
The Royal Garden Lawns
Each venue has essentially something unique to offer. The Royal Garden Lawns, for instance, provides the perfect setting for grand weddings and events with stone cut Rajasthani Chatri and a serene forest backdrop.

The property does look like a 5 star hotel. I am always on the lookout for good hotels and stays while I am traveling in India. I will make a note of this one so I remember where to go the next time I am in Dehradun.
ReplyDeleteI must admit, I never thought Dehradun may have this kind of luxurious and beautiful hotel. The decorations, amenities, facilities are great. But being a foodie, I liked food the most. You mentioned all the checkboxes with detailed information.
