THE EPITOME OF SECLUSION IN A UNIQUE LAKE LOCATION
Built in the middle of the 18th century, this fairytale fortress served as the summer retreat of the royal dynasty of Mewar until it was converted into a heritage hotel in the 1960s. A combination of sumptuous comfort and princely-inspired decor, every corner radiates old-world charm and glamour. Its stunning location on an island in the middle of Lake Pichola means that most of the luxurious rooms and grand suites enjoy a stunning view of the lake, surrounding Udaipur and the Aravalli Hills.
With its unique location in the heart of Lake Pichola, Taj Lake Palace is encircled by spectacular views of the Aravalli hills, lush and serene blue lakes of Udaipur. Stay in one of the 65 luxurious rooms and 18 grand suites, each of which is has been adorned with troves of silk and velvet as well as priceless rugs and elegant old-world artefacts that were once graced by royalty.
The concierge is on hand to help you experience all Udaipur has to offer, from its elaborate palaces to its serene lakes, including tours in one of the hotel’s vintage cars. When you need to relax, the Taj Lake Palace Spa offers pampering treatments drawn from India’s ancient wellness heritage. You can then enjoy an aperitif at the on-site bar of Amrit Sagar before indulging in the irresistible cuisine of one of the hotel’s restaurants.
