Taj Lake Palace
Taj · Udaipur & the Lakes · Rajasthan: Jaipur & Udaipur
A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because it floats on the calm surface of Lake Pichola, built as a summer retreat to catch the lake breezes and now standard postcard and film material: rooms around the courtyard and its lily pond, better ones facing outward, suites with private balconies over the water, and, for all the old-fashioned opulence, a world-class hotel in an unconventional and wonderfully secluded place.
- On Jag Niwas island in Lake Pichola, Udaipur; Taj house.
- Suites with balconies over the lake; the courtyard and its lily pond; the launch from the City Palace jetty; dining and room service around the clock.
- Three MICHELIN Keys in the 2025 selection; holds five-star standing.
