An Insider's Take
'This floating marble marvel isn't just a hotel—it's a 250-year-old palace that seems to drift like a dream across Lake Pichola's shimmering waters.' What's Special? Built in 1746 as Maharana Jagat Singh II's summer palace, this architectural masterpiece covers an entire 4-acre island. The hotel gained Hollywood fame as the villain's lair in James Bond's "Octopussy," and every room offers breathtaking lake views since the palace literally floats on water. The white marble walls are inlaid with semi-precious stones, and the courtyards feature original Mughal gardens.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the Luxury Lake View room on the palace's west side for the most spectacular sunset views over the Aravalli Hills, and time your arrival for the magical evening boat transfer when the palace is illuminated against the twilight sky.
Don't Miss The royal boat procession at sunset, dining at Jharokha with views of the City Palace complex, and the spa's signature treatments using traditional Rajasthani ingredients. The hotel's location offers unparalleled views of Udaipur's skyline, including the City Palace, Jag Mandir island, and the Lake Palace Hotel's own reflection dancing on Lake Pichola's surface.
