Taj Lake Palace

At first glance, the Taj Lake Palace looks as if it is floating in the middle of Lake Pichola. As if in a dream, its white marble and mosaic tiling glistens in the moonlight. Its reflection dances in the waters of the lake while regal dreams of a bygone era dance under her stars.

Property Details

Reminiscent of the beautiful Taj Mahal, the Lake Palace was conceived in the name of romance. The palace was built in 1746 by Maharana Jagat Singh II, 62nd successor to the royal dynasty of Mewar, who were believed to be descendants of the Sun God.

Set against the backdrop of the majestic Aravalli Mountains on one side of the lake and lofty palaces on the other, the Taj Lake Palace spreads across a four-acre island, an almost surreal vision in marble. The Royal Butlers, descendents of the original palace retainers, look after all contemporary comforts and ensure that all guests are treated like royalty. Opulent silks, richly colored murals, and ornately carved wood furniture are just a few of the design elements that envelop our guests in royal mystique.

The amazing rooms, each of which are dedicated to luxury and comfort, await the lucky few who experience the Lake Palace. A handful of unique and individually crafted luxury suites are available including the Udai Muhal, Sarva Shresth Suite, and the Chandra Prakash, just to name a few. Throughout the hotel are historic murals and antique furnishings inlaid with pearls and gemstones, befitting of the royalty that once called the Lake Palace home.

The Royal Butlers can create magical dining moments wherever you desire: whether it is within the luxury of your suite, a sit down dinner by the Lily Pond, a romantic dinner on the Mewar Terrace overlooking the lake, dinner on the marigold-decked royal barge, on a romantic pontoon in the middle of the lake, or exclusively in the candle-studded courtyard.

The additional services the Taj Lake Palace hotel provides are beyond belief. From shopping excursions in vintage cars from the royal fleet to guided heritage champagne walks through the historic palace, the Royal Butlers are ready to serve you. Indulge in a spa or swim or perhaps relax in the exquisite general guest areas of the hotel.
