RAAS Devigarh
Udaipur

04
Taj Lake Palace
Udaipur
The white marble palace that floats in the middle of Lake Pichola, reached only by boat.
Udaipur wraps around Lake Pichola, and its best small hotels are old havelis and palaces on the water or in the lanes behind the City Palace. Rooftop terraces look over white marble domes, the lake and the Aravalli hills, and at sunset the whole city turns gold.
Where to stay
The Lal Ghat and Gangaur Ghat area on the old-town side of the lake is the most atmospheric, with havelis a short walk from the City Palace. For something grander, a palace on the lake or a country estate half an hour out of town gives more space and quiet.
Good to know
Winter, from October to March, is the pleasant season; summer is very hot. Lake-view rooms are worth the extra, and many hotels run their own boats and cooking classes.
