Staying in a palace, a unique experience in Udaipur

Udaipur is one of the most romantic cities of Rajasthan. Most tourists and couples around the world come here to enjoy a luxurious stay in one of its palaces. There is no city in India that is as beautiful, quiet, friendly, dynamic, vibrant, romantic and welcoming as Udaipur. With its luxurious palaces and cobblestone streets full of artisans, the city has a tranquility that is difficult to find anywhere else in India.

Some of the most luxurious palaces to enjoy a honeymoon, a Valentine's Day or simply a luxury stay are the following:

Taj Lake Palace

Equally as well known as Udaipur, the Taj Lake Palace is the ideal place for couples on honeymoon. Located in the middle of Lake Pichola and only accessible by boat, there is no room in the palace that does not have a view of the lake. The hotel offers 66 luxurious rooms and 17 large suites, all preserving the original interior design of the original palace.

The Leela Palace

The other mythical palace hotel in Udaipur. Located at the foot of the Aravalli Mountains and on the shores of Lake Pichola, it is a place that will transport you to your childhood listening to stories about Maharajas. The truth is, you will feel like you’re in a movie, specifically that style that seems to be taken out of the story about Maharajas. Although it is accessible by land, it also offers the option of a romantic arrival by boat.

The Oberoi Udaivilas

The Oberoi Udaivilas Udaipur

Although it is a recreated palace, the Oberoi does not lose in essence of the palaces of Rajasthan. The complex includes a 20-acre wildlife sanctuary with deer and wild boar, as well as the carefully preserved, original Maharajah hunting lodge. Its gardens in front of the lake are wonderful, the rooms are like something out of a dream and the restaurant is excellent.
