In fact I shouldn't write a word about the Udai Bilas Palace because then more guests would come and you won't be able to dine by yourselves at the long marble table surrounded by amazing people taking good care of you! Feeling like a princess in a great palace!

A wonderful experience, more like staying as a house guest than in a hotel. We had a huge room just behind the 'reception' room, though it's the only hotel reception I've seen with stuffed tigers heads on the wall, the desk being the only clue as to the room's purpose. Our room was like a time-warp back to the 1930's:... More

We were a group of 11people who visited this rather unexplored hideout. The stay of everyone was memorable, the service was par excellent. The food was above our expectation, we were getting a full butler service. Overall it was a good decision taken by us to visit this palace and stay there.

This place is not five stars, it has the feel that the previous residents have just left. However, the ancient Maharaja is still living upstairs watching his TV (cricket) at a volume suitable to his age adding another nice touch to a living museum. I had the art deco suite but hardly stayed inside as we were either at the... More

This is our third visit to Udai Bilas Palace Hotel in a decade and it remains a great favourite. The palace is surrounded by lakeside gardens with peaceful places to sit. The area around the pool is especially attractive, looking out to the lake. An exquisite white marble temple on an island seems to float in front of the palace.... More

I know I had said in earlier reviews that it’s been a long time since I posted on Tripadvisor… and that’s not because I have not travelled but because I have been…lazy! Shame on me because I rely on Trip advisor for all of my hotel choices and so it is only fair that I should share back my experiences!... More

Went here on January 2013 family driving holiday with 4 yr old daughter and 83 yr old mum. Just superb, this is a restored palace, without being too tarted up, best staff we met and we could have stayed a week. Our two nights were excellent, lovely ground floor 2 bedroom suite, hot water bottles in the beds (linen changed... More

Udai Bilas is a special place. Nestled between a bird rich lake, wooded hills and a character filled small town, it provides differnet options for a relaxing few days. Whilst some might describe the rooms as dated and shabby, we found them character filled and evocative of the days not long passed when house guests of the maharaja graced the... More

As we set off on our two hour road trip to Udai Bilas hotel our driver was horrified that we were spending four nights in a dead end rural town with nothing going on. "Too much, you will be very bored". We started to worry we had made a mistake. We had just met a very dapper, cravate-wearing hotelier who... More
