Taj Lake Palace Udaipur

If you're hunting for a luxury hotel in Rajasthan, opt for the last word on luxury - the Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur. The beautiful marble palace set amid the serene Lake Pichola is a luxury hotel that's high on comfort, service and aesthetics and will charm you every moment of your stay in Udaipur.

The hotel is actually a 250-year-old palace that still retains a mesmerizing air, an aura of the grandeur of the days gone by. It offers a wide choice in rooms to suit the taste of every kind of tourist. You can book yourself into a room that offers a splendid view of the lake. If you want to surround yourself with the colors and scenes of Rajasthan, get a historical suite, complete with miniature paintings and intricate glasswork.

There's a lot you can do to make your stay at this luxury hotel memorable. Spend a quiet evening taking a leisurely boat ride on the placid waters of the Pichola. Swim a few laps in the pool here or work out at the gym.

Spend an evening soaking in the best of the sights and sounds of Rajasthan. Settle down and get ready to get drawn into an enthralling tale of kings, battles and days gone by, as puppet shows recreate the charm of old-world Rajasthan for you. If music is what makes your day, let the strains of folk music seduce your soul as folk dancers display their art.

As the sun rises over the palaces and forts of Udaipur, begin your day at the Taj Lake Palace with a warm cuppa at Jharokha - the 24-hour coffee shop at the hotel. Jharokha affords you a beautiful view of the lake and the magnificent City Palace.

For lunch, step into Neel Kamal, the exemplary restaurant at the Taj Lake Palace. The service here will warm the cockles of your heart, even as you let yourself get tempted by the dazzling array of Indian and European food on offer. While you wait for your food to arrive, gaze at the splendid blooms in the lily pond.

The evenings are best given over to the charms of Amrit Sagar, the bar. This place gives you a wonderful glimpse of the décor that is so unique to Rajasthan, and is the best place for a truly spirited evening.

If you want to throw a party that your friends will never forget, or even an intimate dinner for two, the Taj Palace has amenities that will knock your socks off. You can plan a party out on the waters of the Lake Pichola - just ask for the Gangaur, a ceremonial barge that will add that extra touch of luxury to your holiday.

If a cozy, comfortable dinner for two is what you're looking for, you can get that too, and without stepping into the restaurant here. The Taj Lake Palace offers its guests the use of floating pontoons, which can be hired for smaller dinner parties.
