About Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur

Taj Lake Palace occupies Jag Niwas, an island palace on Lake Pichola that Maharana Jagat Singh II built in the 1740s as a royal summer retreat. It opened as a hotel in 1963 and is reached only by boat from the city-side jetty, with the City Palace rising directly across the water. The white-marble rooms are mostly compact, while the named suites add stained glass, painted miniatures and long lake-facing balconies. Butler service runs around the clock, and the hotel keeps a J Wellness Circle spa, a small pool and restaurants with lake views. It is the most photographed hotel in Udaipur and books out early for the cooler months.

  • Reached only by boat
  • 65 rooms and 18 suites
  • 24-hour butler service in every category
