Taj Lake Palace

print
Pichola Lake
Udaipur, India
(800) 969-1825 or 91-294-252-8800

COST: $$$$$


The property: A turreted, white-marble 18th-century palace—housing 83 guest rooms and suites—that seems to float atop the waters of Lake Pichola.

The location: A private island in the middle of the lake; guests arrive by taking the hotel's polished-wood, canopied boat from shore.

Rooms to Book: Luxury Lake Rooms don't just have stunning water views; they also have expansive marble terraces (with sofas and Oriental rugs) for enjoying them. Splurging? Go for the Sajjan Suite—with intricately painted walls and a marble bath that's bigger than most hotel rooms—or the Khusmahal Suite, where the bedroom walls are inset with breathtaking stained glass.

Don't Miss: A private dinner on the Mewar Terrace, with service by Royal Butlers.
