Set exclusively on the waters of Lake Pichola in Udaipur, the Taj Lake Palace is a world-famous luxury hotel, with the Aravalli mountains as a dramatic backdrop, creating a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable experience.
A 250-year-old white marble palace seemingly floating on Lake Pichola, with panoramic views of Udaipur and the Aravalli mountains.
Once a royal summer residence, the palace showcases opulent interiors, hand-carved details, and Mughal-inspired architecture.
Private lake cruises, spa treatments on the Jiva Spa boat, and fine dining under the stars at the Lily Pond Courtyard.
Featured in the James Bond movie Octopussy, this legendary palace is one of India’s most recognisable hotels.
Arguably one of the most romantic hotels in the world, Udaipur’s 250-year-old Taj Lake Palace perfectly combines serenity and opulence. This iconic white marble palace, seemingly floating on the tranquil waters of Lake Pichola, was built in the 18th century by Maharana Jagat Singh II on a natural foundation of four acres of rock.
Accessible only by boat, the hotel offers 83 exquisitely appointed rooms and suites, each with breathtaking views of the lake and the Aravalli mountains. Interiors are a celebration of heritage, adorned with antique furnishings, delicate glass mosaics, and traditional decor, creating a timeless yet luxurious atmosphere.
For dining, the Lily Pond Courtyard provides a romantic al fresco setting, while the Mewar Terrace hosts themed events and private dinners. Guests can enjoy exclusive lake trips aboard the ceremonial barge, perfect for intimate parties or sunset cruises.
Despite being set on its own private island, the hotel offers an impressive range of facilities, including a shimmering swimming pool, the Jiva Spa, and two restaurants serving refined Indian and international cuisine. The team can also arrange cultural excursions to explore the highlights of Udaipur, or even a personalized spa experience aboard the spa boat, drifting to a secluded spot on the lake.
With its striking architecture, breathtaking setting, and unrivaled sense of romance, the Taj Lake Palace remains Rajasthan’s most iconic hotel and a truly unforgettable way to experience Udaipur in style.
