Majesty and grandeur come to life in this magnificent resort which is set on the banks of Lake Pichola. Designed as a royal palace, the courtyards, gardens, pools and stunning architecture reflect the regal history of the local region. The Oberoi Spa will envelop you in serenity, and there is also a state-of-the art gym and two beautiful pools with gorgeous lake views. This is a truly resplendent hotel fit for a king. Trained by royal chefs, The Oberoi Udaivilās' expert chefs take great delight in creating fine cuisine using the authentic flavours of Rajasthan served in majestic restaurants with an opulent ambience. Sit down to an al fresco dinner at Chandni for splendid views of the City Palace and Lake Pichola, or enjoy the harmonies of live musicians at Udaimahal under a dome made to resemble the night sky. Premier Rooms have bay windows strewn with colourful cushions looking out to the resplendent trees and bougainvillea or the serene pool. You can upgrade to a Premier Room with Semi-private Pool for direct access to a shared pool, or for extra seclusion, enjoy a private courtyard and pool with a Luxury Suite. All rooms are furnished with marble showers with three settings to suit your preference and a lovely standalone claw-foot bath for a relaxing soak. And as with each Oberoi ‘vilas’, all rooms come with 24-hour butler service so your every whim can be attended to in true royal Rajasthani style.
Framed by the backdrop of the striking Aravalli Hills, the luxurious Taj Lake Palace is a beautiful island in itself, seemingly afloat amid the serenity of Lake Pichola. Reachable by boat, this opulent marble hotel presents four acres of graceful courtyards, pavilions and gardens with a refreshing lakeside pool. Entirely captivating, there’s no wonder it was used as the location of a secret lair in the James Bond movie Octopussy. Although this might arouse curiosity from tourists, Taj Lake Palace is entirely exclusive and only the hotel’s guests are present on the island. The hotel’s staff are incredibly attentive and make every effort to cater to your quirks and preferences, whether it's the chef creating a new dish especially for your palate or simply greeting you warmly by name accompanied with a smile. The resulting experience is an unforgettable one that makes guests long to return. Mouthwatering Indian dishes are served on Versace dinnerware at Neel Kamal, while the open-air Bhairo restaurant is accompanied by far-reaching views across the lake to Udaipur’s City Palace. For a spectacularly romantic meal, dine at Mewar Terrace, an intimate domed pavilion for two which juts out over the lake. Lake views can be enjoyed from many of the rooms, each of which has a traditional Indian heritage style – from the beautiful bedding of rich ochre in Luxury Rooms to the delicate floral motifs in Palace Rooms.
The Leela Palace Udaipur is possibly one of the most luxurious hotels we feature. Nestled on the banks of mesmerising Lake Pichola, you can wake up to views of the tranquil water and sunlit mountains. Overlooking the lake, the hotel’s gorgeous marble pool is framed by comfy sun loungers and lush foliage. There is also a fitness centre, yoga and meditation studio and the ESPA spa, where you can choose from a handful of holistic therapies from an oriental head massage to Ayurvedic facial cleansing. A favourite feature of ours is its ‘Destination Dining’ experience, where everything is tailor-made. You can choose where you’d like to dine in the hotel and the friendly staff will create a personalised menu just for you. The two restaurants at this striking hideaway each feature impressive views either over Lake Pichola or the Aravalli mountains, and are ideal for al fresco dining. The Dining Room serves international dishes and has an extensive wine cellar, so you can sip on a glass of fine vintage as you sample delicious cuisine from different corners of the world. You can also enjoy a romantic evening dining beneath a blanket of stars at rooftop Indian restaurant, Sheesh Mahal. The Library Bar is a cosy space to unwind after a day spent exploring the enchanting forts, palaces and lakes of majestic Udaipur. The exquisite rooms and suites are styled with authentic Indian furnishings and feature magnificent views of Lake Pichola or across Udaipur to the mountains beyond. Choose from one of the five exclusive suites for a particularly indulgent experience, where you can take some time out in your private Jacuzzi or king-size tub and enjoy the luxury of your own personal butler.
