The Suite
In a further-flung part of Rajasthan, Udaipur (the White City) perches on the banks of Lake Pichola. The Aravalli Range, jagged mountains that served to protect bygone kingdoms from invaders, encircle it, complicating access. Considered sacred by many, the city hosts scores of extravagant Indian weddings — events that can last for days. Prepare for the fêtes at the lofty Taj Lake Palace, which seemingly floats on the water, occupying its own island. The retreat’s showpiece Grand Presidential Suite is the epitome of timeless opulence. As preciously detailed as Udaipur’s characteristic glass mosaics and miniature paintings, the suite enchants with glittering chandeliers, rich fabrics, historical art and hand-carved furniture. Its wondrous bed reigns as Maharani-worthy. Spread out in the haven’s 1,733 sq ft, while watching the lake’s shimmering waters through panoramic windows.
The Hotel
Floating on Lake Pichola, Taj Lake Palace is one of India’s most iconic hotels. Originally built in 1746 as a royal residence, the white-marble structure offers stunning views of the Aravalli Mountains and the City Palace. Suites feature hand-painted frescoes, silk drapes, and butler service, evoking the grandeur of Rajasthan. Guests arrive by boat and can dine at Neel Kamal, specializing in authentic Rajasthani cuisine, or Bhairo, which offers rooftop dining under the stars. The Jiva Spa, with its centuries-old wellness rituals, enhances the experience, making this palace a dreamlike retreat in the heart of Udaipur.
