The Best Hotels in Udaipur

Set on 30 acres of gardens along Lake Pichola, The Oberoi Udaivilas is a luxury resort built to look like it was always a palace. Landscape architect Bill Bensley designed the grounds, threading them with courtyards, fountains, and reflective pools that mirror the city's own floating geometry. Many rooms open onto private terraces or infinity pools overlooking the lake. The restaurants draw on centuries-old Rajasthani recipes, which is either romantic or a very long wine list, depending on your mood.

A 21-acre private island on Udai Sagar Lake, ringed by the Aravalli Hills and pointed squarely at Udaipur's historic palace skyline. This 137-room resort leans into Rajasthan's Indo-Saracenic architecture, all domed pavilions and carved stone colonnades, with lakeside suites that open onto the water. The Raffles Butler program means someone is quietly solving problems you haven't had yet, from breakfast by the shore to Ayurvedic spa arrangements.
