Settings don’t get much more majestic than The Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur. Nestled in historic Rajasthan, Udaipur—known as the “City of Lakes”—is a city of timeless beauty, and this enchanting resort rises gracefully from the verdant banks of Lake Pichola at its heart.

One of a select few in The Oberoi’s exclusive ‘Vilas’ collection, the resort reimagines luxury palace hotels by blending traditional design and craftsmanship with contemporary comforts. Spanning 50 acres of meticulously landscaped gardens, the regal property is an intricate maze of interconnecting domes, fountains, tiled open-air corridors, and marble detailing—a design inspired by Udaipur’s storied past as the capital of the Mewari Kingdom.

Staying in the Kohinoor Suite feels like stepping into your own royal residence. Spanning nearly 2,700-sq-ft, the two-bedroom, three-bathroom suite begins with a grand entrance through ornate gold-plated doors. Inside, gold-domed ceilings, mirror mosaics, and intricately hand-carved marble screens set a tone of unmatched opulence.

The primary bedroom suite features a king-size four-poster bed, while the second bedroom offers spacious twin beds. Both rooms include generous walk-in closets and light-filled marble ensuites, each with freestanding claw-footed soaking tubs and private patios adorned with hand-painted elephant frescoes.

The suite is perfectly suited for entertaining, with a lavish living room, a six-seater dining area with a fireplace, and The Oberoi’s signature 24-hour butler service. Step outside to a full-length, flower-lined terrace with fountains, inviting seating areas, and a stunning private pool overlooking Lake Pichola and the City Palace in the distance.

While dinner on the terrace is an unforgettable experience, the resort’s Lakeside Pavilion dining experience offers something equally magical. Guests can savor a specially curated menu accompanied by live traditional music and mesmerizing folk dance performances.
