Taj Lake Palace

Udaipur, India

About Taj Lake Palace

A white-marble palace built in the 1740s on an island in Lake Pichola as a royal summer retreat, now a Taj luxury hotel reached only by boat and famous from the 1983 Bond film 'Octopussy'. Access is for guests and diners with reservations, so book a meal if you want to see it without staying. For most people, the view from the ghats is the draw.

More Accommodation in Udaipur

🏨

Zostel Udaipur

A branch of Zostel, India's biggest backpacker hostel chain, by the ghats of Lake Pichola in the Chandpole area of the old city. Dorms, private rooms and a sociable common area make it easy to meet other travellers, and the lake, the City Palace and the old-town cafés are all within walking distance. A practical budget base.

🏨

Jagat Niwas Palace Hotel

A whitewashed 17th-century haveli on the shore of Lake Pichola at Lal Ghat, now a heritage hotel. Many rooms look over the water, and its rooftop restaurant, with open-air alcoves, faces the lake and the City Palace — worth a visit for dinner even if you're staying elsewhere. An atmospheric mid-range choice in the old city.
