Taj Lake Palace

About

Built in 1746 as a pleasure palace for Maharana Jagat Singh II, the Taj Lake Palace is a symbol of regal splendour and timeless heritage. Only accessible by boat, the hotel provides a secluded and atmospheric retreat where guests are welcomed with traditional Rajasthani hospitality. Intricately carved balconies, courtyards and domes reflect Mughal architecture, while the interiors combine antique décor with modern comforts, offering a seamless journey into the world of royal India.

Rooms

Each of the palace’s rooms and suites is individually designed, showcasing period furniture, rich silks, and hand-painted motifs. Some feature jharokha windows overlooking the lake, while others include private balconies and opulent marble bathrooms. The rooms blend historical charm with modern amenities, including plush beds, personalised butler service and state-of-the-art technology, ensuring both comfort and authenticity.

Dining

Dining at Taj Lake Palace is an indulgent experience, with a focus on royal Indian cuisine and global fine dining. Guests can enjoy traditional Rajasthani fare at Neel Kamal, international dishes with lake views at Bhairo, or intimate meals on the open-air terrace. The royal bar offers vintage wines, fine spirits and bespoke cocktails in a regal setting, while private dining experiences on floating pavilions or pontoon boats add a magical touch to any stay.

Activity

Activities at the palace centre around heritage and serenity. Guests can take guided heritage walks, enjoy a scenic boat ride around the lake, or visit nearby attractions such as the City Palace, Jag Mandir and local markets. Back at the hotel, Jiva Spa offers Indian wellness rituals and massages, and cultural performances often take place in the courtyards. Whether discovering Udaipur’s rich past or simply soaking in the palace’s tranquillity, every moment is steeped in elegance.
