My husband, daughter and I have been staying at the Taj Lake palace Udaipur since 3 days and what a fantastic experience it’s been. The Taj touch and magic began right from the jetty where we were made to feel very comfortable by …. followed by Hiya, who was grace and charm personified, at the reception while checking in. We were celebrating a milestone in the family and when Chef Babu heard of it, he made special arrangements for a beautiful and absolutely delicious cake for the special occasion. What really touched us was that he went further out of his way and arranged for the cake cutting in one of the most picturesque spots in the hotel making the already special occasion absolutely magical. We have such amazing memories of this special day because of his thoughtful gesture! It felt like each person in the hotel was working towards making our stay special… Here are a few examples: We took a massage and both our masseuses were fantastic. They knew what needed to be done and were polite. The house keeping floor manager, Prasad, ensured that our room was kept beautifully clean. And it's the little touches by the housekeeping person, Subhash, that elevated our experience to the next level. Here’s an example… while leaving the room in a hurry, a book was kept face down in the open position by mistake and he had put a book mark in the book! For a book lover like me who doesn’t like the spine of the book damaged, this was a very thoughtful gesture. In the restaurant, Man Singh along with our other servers were always present when we needed them but were not intrusive at the same time. Mr. Naren, Mr. Parbat Singh, Mr. Mahendar and Chef Bharat made our experience memorable. The hotel is beautiful and picturesque. I couldn’t stop taking photos and each and every-one from the hotel helped by suggesting the best places for taking photos and offering to take our photos too! I noticed that they did something special for others who came into the hotel too… eg. For another family that came in … there was a little girl who came with her parents and they showered them with rose petals and the little girl was absolutely delighted. It must’ve seemed like a fairy tale to her and I’m sure this will be a cherished and fantastic memory for her. This was our first holiday in this property but I’m sure it’s not going to be our last! We are looking forward to coming here soon!

Pretty sure we all have wished to live like kings and queens , haven’t we ? Taj Lake place Udaipur will make sure you live like one ! The pandemic fatigue had caught up and we needed a break ! Staycations have become pretty popular and more so during the pandemic . I don’t know how we chose the city of Udaipur ? But I’m so glad that we did and chose Taj Lake Palace. Booked ourselves the Mayur Mahal suite , were a bit apprehensive while doing so as you pay a hefty amount per night but all our doubts were laid to rest as soon as we entered the main gates and reached the embarkment point for the jetty. Once You get on the jetty you’ll be captivated by the serene Lake Pichola . The short jetty ride to the Lake palace premises feels like a journey which one wishes never ends. It’s magical ! Once you disembark and enter the palace , you are greeted by a sprinkle of rose petals . The check in process was extremely smooth and while at it you are treated to some local Udaipuri sweets and guava juice. Shout out to Nimfia Sharma for giving us a tour of the property and escorting us to our Mayur Mahal Suite . The suite was everything that dreams are made of ! The swing , the jharoka , the huge bathroom with a jacuzzi , the detailing of the peacock ( Mayur) on the walls was just exquisite. We were completely captivated by our suite and Nimfia made sure that she captured it , A sweet gesture on her part to click a picture of us and getting it framed for us , thank you Nimfia . A special cake was also arranged for us as it was our anniversary. cultural songs and dances are performed every evening by local Rajasthani artistes which are quite fun and enjoyable. The Jharoka restaurant is nice and you can feast on some signature Rajasthani cuisines while overlooking Lake Pichola as the sun goes down. The patios and the gardens will take your breath away . Do Spend some evenings at the terraces to see a dazzling Udaipur at night and early Mornings in the company of peacocks. To stay at the Taj Lake Palace is like a celebration of opulence and luxury . Tip , if you can , opt for the Suite , it’s a decision you’ll never regret and an experience you’ll never forget . Thank you Taj Lake Palace Udaipur

Guests pass security on the deck, where they also take care of the luggage. Then, you take a boat to the hotel, with mandatory life vests. On arrival, my husband and I were welcomed with a musician, a dancer, an embroidered umbrella and a shower of rose petals (but the performers aren’t always there). The lobby, lounges, bar and courtyard are together in an open space, reminding you that this is a palace. Daily, at 6:00pm there are musicians, dancers and acrobats, until 6:46. All the property is a marble wonder that smells like jasmine. There are rooms on the ground floor and the first floor, with no elevators, but the stairs are beautiful and friendly. Our room was comparatively small, the smallest we had in our 9 different hotels in India, but with furniture worth a museum; in particular, the table and desk in inlayed wood with camel bone were worth the short space. They have 3 different restaurants and we enjoyed them all, with very different menu and decoration. The hotel offers a boat ride with an extra cost. We had taken one in the morning for the open public, but anyway we decided to take the one offered by the hotel and it was quite different. For a start, it was a nicer boat with a small group; but more important, it included a guide that really knew the story of every building.
