The Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur Hotel

Taj Lake Palace is located in the middle of the Lake Pichola and is a 45 minutes drive from Udaipur airport.

The Lake palace was built in the 17th century on a natural foundation of 4 acres of rock. It is a magical palace and its image in the middle of the lake is like a leaf straight out of a fairy tale book with an excellent taste of intricate craftsmanship and the ethnic themes using the textiles and handicrafts all over highlight the beauty that is simply beyond compare the lake around makes a pleasant murmur with its rippling waves and lapping that adds to the mesmerizing moments.

A sunbathed vision on the eastern banks of Lake Pichola, Taj Fateh Prakash is part of the iconic City Palace complex. It was built in the 20th century by Maharana Fateh Singh as a venue for royal events. Like princely dignitaries from another era, present-day guests arrive to be mesmerized by exquisite vistas of the lake and the mighty Aravalli mountain range. The original palace décor has been meticulously maintained. From miniature paintings and armoury to royal heirlooms and furniture straight off toshakhanas (royal storerooms), the palace is alive with stories of Rajput valour and adventure. Gastronomy is an all-sensory experience with Indian and world cuisines on offer. Sunset Terrace – consistently rated as one of India’s most scenic restaurants - is the perfect venue for a royal Mewari meal with sweeping views of Pichola, Jagmandir Island, Lake Palace and Sajjangarh Palace. Surya Darshan Bar offers a ceremonial English Afternoon Tea to savour with family and friends, later converting to a romantic sunset spot for champagne and hors d’oeuvres.The palace’s public chambers are show stopping works of history and art. At 5177 square feet, Durbar Hall Sabhagaar is one of the most majestic heritage banquet halls in India, a blend of plush Mewari and Victorian design sensibilities.

It is fringed on the upper level by the Crystal Gallery – the world’s largest privately owned collection of crystal objets d’art - including the only crystal bed in the world and a jewel-encrusted carpet. Commissioned by Maharana Sajjan Singh, this eclectic treasure was crafted by F & C Osler Company in England.
