34. Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur, India
Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur, India.
Ranked #34 in our countdown of the 100 Best Hotels and Resorts in the World.
“Just because it is in one of the most stunning locations on earth.” Sunshine Flint
An 18th-century white marble palace floating on the waters of Lake Pichola in one of India’s most magical cities.
A private boat ferries guests to a world of Raj-like luxury. Rooms are a symphony of marble and mosaic, satins and silks with views to Udaipur’s palace-filled skyline and the misty green-blue Aravalli mountains.
You can have your stars read or take a bespoke tour – sari shopping, perhaps? The turbanned and gracefully sari’d staff are a joy.
Dine on the rooftop for magical sunsets and moonlit nights. A royal treat.
