Powered by AI

Nestled amidst a breathtaking lakeside setting, the Taj Lake Palace garners acclaim for its enchanting atmosphere and royal ambiance, with guests feeling like royalty due to the attentive service. The pristine cleanliness of the rooms and property is frequently highlighted by visitors. While its location offers a luxurious retreat, dining options in the vicinity are limited. The harmonious blend of historical elegance and modern amenities in the rooms captivates guests, though some question the value given the premium pricing. Overall, the hotel's unique charm and comprehensive amenities leave a lasting impression.

We visited Taj Lake Palace for my kid’s first birthday. Considering the special occasion they gave us a generous upgrade from the Palace Room we booked to Grand Royal Suite. The decoration in the room and the extra efforts put together by the team before our arrival made it extra special for us.

Our room and the hotel
The room overlooked the lake palace and in its original construction would have a private access to the swimming pool (which is now sealed though). Massive room for a hotel which otherwise is smaller in structure being a property in the centre of the lake.

As for the hotel, it occupies an envious spot in the middle of the lake and is a crown jewel among Udaipur hotels. We had the privilege of admiring different views of it in 2017 during our first visit to the city and its indeed a dream come true to celebrate our kid’s big day here. Property is very well maintained and you would notice the staff constantly ensuring hygiene, which is an essential considering the number of birds they attract. There are multiple spots from where you could click pictures of a lifetime and we did just that, even almost missing our flight back home in the process.

Service
The staff were kind and very hospitable. They do not have a very large service team and its only fair considering the property size. There were a few slips, but for the overall kindness extended during our stay, it would be unfair on my part to mention them.

Pricing
Luxury comes with a tag and this one surely does. But the room upgrade made the price paid worth every extra bit for us.

Food
Breakfast was largely order based from the chef specials and a minimalistic buffet with juices, cheese, desserts and fruits. The kheema pav and chole bhature were mind-blowing.

In summary, an extremely memorable stay and a big tick to our wishlist.

Me and my wife visited this property for a 2 night stay in June this year.We had already been to Udaipur few times,but missed staying here so this time we came to complete the experience.We came for a meal and a showround few months back at Lake palace,and Mr Parvinder(gm)and Mr Rahul Mehta had throughly assisted us at that time.This time some summer package offer was going on at IHCL and we booked a palace room for 2 nights at 30k plus taxes per night(pretty low for Lake palace,here even garden rooms touch 80k during winter)which included breakfast plus one major meal,and both way airport transfers.We called Mr Mehta in advance and requested for any upgrade that could be given.

To our delight and surprise, the management upgraded our room to a Grand Royal Suite called Jal Tarang(each suite has it's unique name).It is a 3 level upgrade as grand royal suites come below the presidential suites and it is a lifetime experience to stay in one of them(they are sheer expensive as well with 130k price going on during the span of our stay).We are much grateful to the management for giving us such a wonderful stay opportunity.

We were picked up from Udaivilas( where we were initially staying)by the lake palace boat and guided straight to the floating heaven.Mr Harsh,their conceirge manager was waiting for us in the jetty along with other staffs to welcome and receive us.We were welcomed by a Royal Umbrella,given a rose petal shower and also a traditional aarti was done for our well-being in the inside and then we were seated and served welcome drinks.Mr Mehta also came to welcome us who completed the check in formalities for us and we were guided straight to the room.Mr Parvinder was not present in the property so sadly we couldn't meet him.Before venturing in the room,Mr Mehta introduced us to the F and B managers,their deputy housekeeper and other hods who were nice and friendly and greeted us warmly.Mr Harsh was also with us who prepared explained multiple areas of the property before venturing to o
our room.

The Jal Tarang Suite-A treat to the eyes,it was an Absolute delight to stay at.Mr Mehta completed the check in formalities quickly and left us alone to enjoy the beauty of the room.Unlike other Royal and Grand Royal suites,this was a bit different.Instead of having big and spacious bedroom and living room,it had a rather smaller bedroom and living room area.But it's features sat it apart which makes it the best room in Lake Palace(even the grand presidential suite didn't have these features).

Jal Tarang meant staying on the suite will really make you feel you are sitting on water.It had 4 unique areas.One a huge Jacuzzi directly facing the lake,where you can enjoy bathing with your loved one with the serene lake view(it has privacy control blinds which can be switched on and off).Apart from the Jacuzzi,there is a large terrace which starts from the bedroom(covered from above),you can sit and have a meal there(we had twice).Sitting there with water surrounding your all sides,their splashing will give you a feel you are sitting in a literal cruise ship.
THE BEST PART OF THE SUITE WAS A 360 DEGREE SITOUT AREA WITH WINDOW ON ALL SIDES.This was the favourite part of our room and I spent most of our stay time here.It makes you feel you are almost sitting in water.See the pictures for reference.Apart from all this,there is also a small balcony which can be opened and you can stand and enjoy lake view.

The bedroom had nice premium linen,decorations on walls and gave a regal look despite the space being reduced.The living room had a study table and a large sofa with very soft and comfortable cushions to sit and enjoy.The quality of everything was very premium and nothing was compromised.Even if someone paid the money to stay here,it will be worth it.Apart from the Jacuzzi,there is also a separate shower area.

After check in,the entire afternoon went by staying in our suite and enjoying the views from it.In the evening,we came out to enjoy the rajasthani cultural dance in the lobby and it was fantastic(these are organised in every hotel in rajasthan but this one was different and unique).We admired it very much(come early as seats get full.

We visited and sat at the palace entrance for a while to enjoy the soothing sunset views from there.Rain had just stopped and sun was setting and the lights were slowing turning on.It was just like a picture.DO NOT MISS THE SUNSET VIEWS AT ANY COST.

After the sun was set,we explored the other areas of the property a bit,their Gyan Sagar bar,which had beautiful carvings in the walls and nice SITOUT areas facing the lake where one can sit and enjoy the drinks.

We also had a sneak peak of their Neel kamal restaurant,which was a fine dining Indian restaurant directly facing the hotels lily pond which served food in Versace plates and 22 carat golden cutlery.They invited us to have dinner there but we pushed it for the other night.

We also explored their pool area which has an adjoining small spa and gym(not a gym just some treadmills due to lack of space as it's surrounded by water)The pool is nice and there are some jhulas for guests to sit and enjoy.We sat on those and clicked some beautiful pictures of us while enjoying the night views of the lake.

Please note,the hotel also organises a heritage walk in the evening for detailed information on the history of palace(Lake palace is 278 years old originally a summer palace of the king of Udaipur).We already did that heritage walk few months ago when we came to have a meal,so we skipped it this time.

Lily Pond-The hotel has a beautiful lily pond with lush green garden in the centre of the property.Its directly located in front of their all day dining Jharokha restaurant.Do stop by this in the morning and evening for some beautiful views and pictures.Its a treat to the eyes,very well maintained and should not be missed.The hotels garden view rooms face this one.

Jharokha Restaurant-Their all day dining restaurant where we had dinner the first day.This restaurant is surrounded by lake in all sides(has beautiful lake and city palace view)and while you can see the lake by sitting in any table,there are 2 signature spots inside the restaurant which you must grab if empty while dining.In order to do that,you must arrive a little bit early for your meals or they will be preoccupied.There are 2 corner tables located on either sides which gives a 360 degree lake view and somewhat privacy while dining from the rest of the restaurant.

We were fortunate enough to get that table first night despite arriving late.We were served by a fine gentleman who was very helpful and assisted us at every point(forgot his name).He suggested us various items from the menu and also brought a nice am panna for my wife to enjoy.We took biryanis,some Indian desserts,and few tandoori and kebab starter items.All tasted delicious and it was a nice dining experience.The server also explained us about the history of lake palace while serving which added a nice touch to the ambience.If you have meal in your package,you can go for both buffet and ala carte without any restrictions.

Yes there is also a buffet which is 2600 plus tax.You can go for that as well.But we preferred ala carte instead.

After the meal,it was time for bed.We had a sound sleep in our suite.The rain started and continued all night which added an old world charm to an already ancient palace.

In the morning,we had already pre ordered breakfast in our room.They delivered it in our Terrace area where we sat and enjoyed breakfast with that one of a kind lake views.The breakfast items were fresh and tasty.I also took a bath in their Jacuzzi which was very relaxing and I spent almost 1.5 hours in it as the view was not letting me get up for once.

The deputy housekeeper came to meet us who was personally present on both days while room cleaning and servicing.He is a nice gentleman who was very polite and helpful and took care of our every need.He guided the employees at each point notifying them what to be done and what to be placed in the room.We are very much thankful to him for that.He also arranged to get our shoes washed and cleaned and dried from the laundry free of cost,seeing it was wet and bad smell was coming(our shoes once got very wet and soiled due to rain).Due to this gesture,we could finally wear clean shoes.Much grateful to him for that.

Mr Mehta also,was in touch throughout our stay and helped us at every point of contact.He arranged to get Asiatic lily flowers placed in our room as my wife really liked those(flowers are scarce as it's in the middle of a lake,but still he managed somehow).Also,as we had 4 airport transfers included in the booking(booking for both nights were separate individual reservations)and we only required one(to go to airport last day)he offered to give us a half day car instead of the other 3.We are much thankful to him for that.We couldn't use the car due to continued rain in both days but used boat instead.

Mr Mehta also allowed us to have one meal in Neelkamal one day instead of Jharokha (package meal was only meant to be had in Jharokha but he made an exception).Due to this we could throughly experience the cuisine of Lake palace and it was an incredible opportunity given to us.

We spent the second day afternoon in the suite again,enjoying the rain from there (we skipped lunch due to heavy breakfast)and we were very sad as we will need to leave the next day.In the evening,Mr Mehta came to meet us and we requested him for a boat ride instead of the car.He arranged us a personal boat ride(not the common one)to Jagmandir which was a sacred place in the middle of the lake which we had never visited.

It was a nice boat ride as it was not raining that time and we very much enjoyed visiting Jagmandir despite it being for a short period of time.Much grateful to Mr Mehta for arranging this.

After the boat ride,we explored the terrace of the property (sunset terrace)which also had nice views and clicked some nice photos.Then,we went to see some palace rooms and garden view rooms and also the Grand Presidential suite of the property.The rooms were small but beautifully decorated and we felt blessed we could enjoy the massive suite despite booking those rooms.

The presidential suite however,didn't amaze us very much.It was vast,high ceilings,luxury bed,huge living and dining area but all that is available in any typical palace property managed by taj.The bathtub was inside the washroom(no lake views)and in the room also there is no sit out area as such.There is an extended terrace on the outside of the room where one can stand and enjoy lake views.Its a narrow terrace so you can't even place a chair and sit there.This looked to us as a downside of the presidential suite,and we felt our suite more value for money than this one.

Dinner at Neelkamal-Afer the room tour and everything was over,we went to have our last dinner in the property at Neelkamal.They accomodated our package dinner at Neelkamal to complete the experience.We took a table near the lily pond and sat to enjoy the royal dining experience.Pradip,was our server who was a nice guy who was friendly and gave us very attentive service.We ordered a lamb item and some chicken sukka and other tandooris for starter and some rajsthani items as main course.For desserts we tasted their rajsthani Ghewar which was nice.The items were tasty.And it was a fulfilling meal experience.My wife tasted one of the palace special mocktails and it was also very nice.

Special thanks to Pradip, for the nice dining experience.

After a whole some sleep that night,the next morning we departed for our flight on a hearty note,after having breakfast.We were given a incense box as a departure gift and bid farewell by Mr Mehta,Harsh and the team.It was overall a nice stay for us which we will remember and cherish for many years.We hope to return again soon and explore another suite if time and budget permits.

Special thanks to Harsh,Mr Mehta,Mr Parvinder, Pradeep,our server at Jharokha,The Deputy Housekeeper for taking care of us so well and for everything they had done for us.They made the stay a easy breezy.

Now for future travellers coming to stay at Lake palace,here are some points to consider

1.Book them in middle or off season if you want to stay for 3 or more days.The insane rates in peak season won't allow you to do so.

2.Ask for upgrade(be it in peak or off season.off season increases the chances of it).They routinely upgrade guests and if you are coming to celebrate a special occasion,duely inform them as this will increase your chances.

3.Book an all inclusive package with all meals or atleast one major meal.Food is expensive as it's a 5 star and due to it surrounded by a lake,you have no alternative options.

4.Stay for 2 to 3 nights.This span of stay is more than enough to get the entire experience of Lake palace.After this,you might start to feel bored.

An absolute gem that pays attention to the smallest details. The bedding was luxurious, the bathroom amenities were top-tier, and the room service was surprisingly quick and maintained the same quality as the hotel's restaurant. The location was perfect for both sightseeing and business meetings, and the concierge team's efficiency in handling requests was remarkable

I’ve been debating whether I should write this review or not. I’ll start with the positives. The hotel looks great from the shores of the lake. It has a great location in the middle of the lake and the level of service is good.
We booked a lake view room. To put it plainly, the room was outdated and could’ve used a refresh a decade ago. I don’t know if they gave us a crappy room to try to upsell us to a suite which they tried to do or if all that category of rooms is outdated.
We wanted to show our appreciation to our driver and guide by bringing them to eat lunch at one of the hotel’s restaurants and this was not allowed for “security reasons”. These “security reasons” would magically disappear if you were willing to pay an outrageous amount of money to bring these people in. There is a Hitchkokian amount of pigeons in and around the property and they are a nuisance. Given the amount of money one pays to stay at this hotel I feel that the rooms should be a lot nicer and modern, and the birds issue should not exist. I’m truly disappointed by the experience.
In our two weeks tour of Rajasthan we stayed at an eclectic list of hotels ranging from The Oberoi in Delhi and Agra, both magnificent, to the Marriot in Jaipur which has impersonal service but very modern rooms to The Rohet House in Jodhpur which is a little gem of a boutique hotel to Fort Rajwada in Jaisalmer which aspires to be great and it’s almost there. The Lake Palace was the only hotel in the list that fell well short of our expectations. To me, it seems like they are coasting on the unique location and how the hotel looks from afar.

When traveling to Udaipur, royalty is all around you and there is no better place to experience the royal life than Taj Lake Palace. From the time you are ushered in the boat to the island hotel, you are treated like you are the center of attention.

The hotel is obviously unique due to its location but the way the staff pays attention to each and every one of your needs truly transports you to another world. My son has nut allergies and the chefs went out of their way to make sure he could experience all cuisines without nuts.

Ms Jasbinder and Mr Vaibhav at check in were always there to help address any questions or concerns and truly made our visit special. Ms Sanjana made sure we were well informed about the property and got to experience all the wonderful things the resorts has to offer. We had planned on exploring the city of Udaipur but the resort is so relaxing that we ended up staying within the property for most of the time.

The hotel has done a good job of updating the rooms and facilities where you get to see the old royal life without compromising on modern amenities. I had to take several meetings and WiFi was strong enough for me to be able to do that. The rooms were well equipped and were extremely comfortable. Do recommend getting lake view rooms as it is truly mesmerizing to wake up and see the calm lake out of the window.

Having traveled the world, I can easily say that this one one of the top resorts I have stayed at and would certainly visit again if the opportunity comes up.

Thanks to my childhood friend I recently had the opportunity to celebrate a milestone birthday at the world renowned Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur and what an unforgettable experience it was! Every experience felt like we were walking through a fairytale story.

After a warm, traditional welcome, Ms. Nimfia so kindly showed us around and escorted us to our room. Her professionalism and responsiveness to our needs was simply above expectation.

The accommodations at Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur were nothing short of luxurious. Our room was elegantly appointed with tasteful decor and modern amenities and a mesmerising view of the lake. The attention to detail in the room design, coupled with the utmost comfort, made it a haven to retreat to after a day of exploring the city.If I had to rate the comfort of my room, bed, etc, it would hands down be a 10/10.

Furthermore, the ambiance of Taj Lake Palace is truly enchanting. The palace's setting in the middle of Lake Pichola creates an aura of tranquility and seclusion.

Inspite of it being the monsoon season, what was so impressive was the attentiveness and promptness of the staff to keep the premises clean.The bathroom, bedding, common areas, dining, lobby, etc were always sanitised and regularly serviced hence keeping it fresh all the time.

During our stay our visit to the pool and Jiva Spa was an incredibly relaxing , and rejuvenating experience. I will never forget the warmth and genuine hospitality shown to us by Mr. Sunil and his professional team whenever we'd visit this area of the hotel, even if we just sat on the glorious swing by the pool.

What was also impressive was that this monumental hotel has a 24 hour royal ferry service with a fabulous, friendly and ready to assist team. Thanks to Honey, Hiya, Swetha and all the wonderful gentlemen that took us to and fro from the hotel. We enjoyed having wonderful conversations with each of you.

One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the culinary delights offered at the hotel. The food was simply exceptional, showcasing a diverse range of flavors and cuisines. Each meal was a delightful experience, with a perfect balance of traditional Indian dishes and international fare. The quality of the ingredients and the skillful execution of the dishes were evident in every bite. We particularly enjoyed dining at Jharokha restaurant, savoring the delectable cuisine while being mesmerized by the panoramic views of Lake Pichola and the city. Kudos to Mr. Hemant for your kind hospitality.

Overall, our stay at Taj Lake Palace was a dream come true. The exceptional service, delectable food, and luxurious accommodations created an experience that will forever be etched in our memory. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an extraordinary and magical stay in Udaipur.

To wrap up, I'd like to say, based on our stay, we can confidently say that Taj Lake Palace exceeded all our expectations and we cannot wait to return in the near future.

This place understands that true luxury isn't about opulence – it's about making everything feel effortless. From the seamless check-in to the way the housekeeping team seemed to magically know the perfect time to refresh our room, every aspect was choreographed to perfection. The public spaces invited both socializing and solitude, with clever design that created natural gat

I had booked a normal lake view room for 3 nights through Expedia and then later on I upgraded to the Historical suite. I received confirmation from Expedia/Taj. Upon arrival I found out that for some reason the upgrade did not get through. Naman, the person receiving us was extremely apologetic and upgraded us to the Royal suite for the same price as the Historical room. He continued to check on us and even gave us his personal phone number. I have never seen hospitality like this anywhere else. The property is small but the grounds, location, service etc are beyond par. Even at restaurants, the chef would come to meet us and even provided us with free food to taste that we had not even ordered. I thought this was once a lifetime experience for us but after this, we definitely plan to come back and stay at this property. Highly recommended and Thank you Naman for your hospitality and kindness.

Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur is a breathtakingly beautiful and truly unforgettable experience. Situated on Lake Pichola, the palace itself appears to float, offering stunning views of the surrounding hills and city. From the moment you arrive, the service is impeccable—staff are attentive, friendly, and make every effort to ensure you feel like royalty. The rooms are luxurious, blending traditional Rajput decor with modern amenities, and the dining experiences are exceptional, with a variety of local and international cuisines prepared to perfection.

The location adds a magical touch, as you can enjoy boat rides around the lake or simply relax in the peaceful ambiance of the palace. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway or simply to indulge in opulence, Taj Lake Palace offers a unique blend of heritage, luxury, and tranquility. It’s a place where every detail is thoughtfully curated, making it one of the most extraordinary hotels in India. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience a fairy-tale retreat!

I got the pleasure to visit this place on 9th Sep 2023. It was the occasion of my father's birthday and there could not be a better celebration than this. We have received a royal treatment through out our stay.
Staff was highly professional and courteous. We totally loved the various activities which were organized during our stay like heritage walk, traditional dances and boating experiences along with visit to Jagmandir.

We had our dinner at Neel Kamal and overall experience was satisfactory the starter was well prepared . Only we did not like the preparation of Aloo Parantha in the breads that can be improvised.

Later in the morning we visited different spots in property to capture cool pictures. And i was amazed how the people in the Staff are trained Photographers. In the pool area we were delighted by the photographic skills of Mukul from security team who clicked really beautiful pics of ours.

In the breakfast section all the meals prepared were excellent .

The only thing would like to suggest is to improvise that either a complimentary High Tea or a dinner must also be included along with breakfast according to room cost that is being charged. Instead of providing unlimited options in breakfast that nobody can consume the food can be divided in two different serving maybe.

Other than that our whole visit looks like a dream come true . I am travelling to whole lot of countries in the world but this trip will be cherished forever.

Thanks guys for wonderful experience and efforts. Keep up the good work
