✦Expert advice from Pronite
Pronite's verdict: if the Lake Palace is romance, Udaivilas is flawless indulgence. It has topped 'world's best hotel' lists for a reason — the service is telepathic. Splurge on a Premier Room with a semi-private pool facing the lake. The spa and the sunset boat ride are non-negotiable. It sits within a wildlife conservancy, so you may spot deer and peacocks on the grounds.
Set on the banks of Lake Pichola across from the old city, The Oberoi Udaivilas is a modern palace built in the grand Mewari tradition — domes, courtyards, reflecting pools and manicured gardens spread across 30 acres. It has been named the best hotel in the world by leading travel awards more than once.
The experience is defined by impeccable, anticipatory service and serene, palatial spaces. Semi-private pools, a superb spa, and dining with uninterrupted lake and City Palace views make it a destination in itself.
Why it's Pronite Verified
- ›Consistently rated among the finest hotels on the planet.
- ›Faultless service and palatial, lake-facing spaces.
- ›The gold standard for a resort-style luxury stay in Udaipur.
