Most Romantic Hotels
Seemingly afloat on the shimmering waters of Lake Pichola, the celebrated Taj Lake Palace is easily one of India’s most romantic hotels.
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.
INDIA’S ANCIENT WELLNESS HERITAGE
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. And when you need to relax, the Jiva Spa offers pampering treatments drawn from India’s ancient wellness heritage. Diners have a choice of authentic Rajasthani specialities, European bistro fare and international delicacies at four exquisite restaurants.
