Overview
Lake tranquility
Perched gracefully in the middle of Lake Pichola, the Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur is a marvel of architectural beauty and rich history. Surely this is one of the most beautiful hotels in the world. Originally known as Jag Niwas, this exquisite palace was built in the 18th century as a summer retreat for the Mewar Royal family. Today, it stands as a heritage hotel – a stay here is about as close as you can get to experiencing the life of the Raj.
The palace, constructed using locally sourced marble from Rajnagar, reflects a fusion of Mughal and Mewari architectural styles. Its 65 luxurious rooms and 18 grand suites have been meticulously restored to their pristine glory. Each room offers breathtaking views of the City Palace, Aravalli Hills, Machla Magra Hills, and Jag Mandir.
Indulge in a culinary journey at Taj Lake Palace’s elegant restaurants, including Neel Kamal, serving authentic Rajasthani cuisine, and the seasonally open-air Bhairo, offering contemporary European delicacies. Amrit Sagar, the palace's bar, entices with memorable signature martinis (tried and tested by Niarra Travel!) and an extensive cocktail menu.
Immerse yourself in royal pampering at the J Wellness Circle, where ancient wellness traditions and the regal setting merge to offer luxurious treatments.
There really is no other hotel in the world that can match the unique history, style and location of the Taj Lake Palace.
