*A princely palace set on the banks of Lake Pichola, converted into one of India's most discreet hotels.*
The Oberoi Udaivilas Udaipur
From
906.409 €
“Rooms with direct views over Lake Pichola, entrance via an avenue of hand-sculpted arches.”
The Oberoi Udaivilas unfolds in white domes and inner courtyards on the banks of Lake Pichola, in Udaipur. We enter via an avenue lined with fountains, beneath hand-sculpted arches. The score of 9.7/10 from 196 reviews surprises at first glance, but the welcome and the calm of the place explain it quickly. The rooms, very spacious, open onto gardens or the lake, with marble on the floor and dark wood furniture inlaid with Rajasthani motifs. The rate starts at 906 € per night, which places the address among the most expensive palaces in India. The pool, the spa and the fitness room occupy a separate wing, far from any city noise. Here, luxury lies mainly in the silence and the space, more than in an excess of equipment 😌.
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend this address to couples on honeymoon or anniversary travel, ready to pay for silence and space. It is a hotel for lovers of princely heritage rather than business travellers, despite wifi available everywhere. Families find adapted rooms, yet the atmosphere remains hushed, closer to retreat than animation.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The building follows the codes of Rajasthani palace architecture: white domes, sculpted arches, inner courtyards open to Lake Pichola. Interiors blend light marble, dark inlaid wood and hand-embroidered textiles typical of Rajasthan. The whole extends over a vast lakeside estate, with distinct wings for rooms, spa and pool. No precise data on the construction date is available, yet the scale and materials clearly evoke princely heritage rather than a recent standardised build.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
Available data mention an on-site restaurant and room service, without detail on menus, hours or a possible signature chef. We cannot therefore judge the table on merit with the information at hand. If dining follows the usual Oberoi standard, it remains to be verified on site rather than promised here.

Location & access
Where the hotel sits in Udaipur
The Oberoi Udaivilas occupies a plot on the banks of Lake Pichola, in the Haridasji Ki Magri district of Udaipur. The City Palace and the ghats of the old town are visible from certain rooms, a few minutes by road or boat. The neighbourhood is residential and quiet, away from the bustle of the bazaar. No precise distance to the airport is provided in our data, yet Udaipur remains a medium-sized city where journeys stay short.
