Rooms: 84
Referred to as the City of Lakes, Udaipur was founded in 1567 by Maharana Udai Singh, a descendant of the legendary Sisodias of Mewar. Peppered with marble palaces, hibiscus-laden gardens and fountain pavilions, Udaipur appeals to the imagination of poets and painters, travelers and writers like no other city in the country. Surrounded by hills and mountains and set on the edge of three lakes which lead on to a fertile plain - it is a truly enchanting city.
And shining beautifully in the middle of the shimmering Lake Pichola, the Lake Palace is one of the most beautiful palaces in the world. Arising out of the turquoise waters of the Pichola like an elegant fantasy in white marble, the Taj Lake Palace Hotel leaves you wondering if paradise can be this serene.
