Location. Taj Lake Palace shimmers over the serene waters of Lake Pichola in the city of Udaipur, India, as it did when Maharana Jagat Singh II first decreed its construction in 1743. Overlooking fountain pavilions, hilltop fortresses, ancient temples and medieval gardens, this regal hotel announces the gateway to Udaipur. The hotel floats almost magically on the lake's surface. As such, guests arrive via water transport.

Hotel Features. The delights of Indian tradition are reflected at Neel Kamal, the palace's fine-dining restaurant. With elegance that might please the maharajas, sophisticated Indian cuisine is served on crested chinaware and with fine crystal underlain by embroidered linens. Intricately carved marble columns and arches define the decor at Jharokha, where international cuisine appeals to global palates. The Lily Pond is a picturesque venue that prepares Continental and Indian specialties, including fiery curries. Amrit Sagar Bar offers private-cove seating with unparalleled views of Jagmandir Palace. A fully equipped business center, expansive meeting space and wireless Internet access propel the glories of ancient India into a world of modern convenience. JIVA spa and wellness center offers signature Indian body treatments, therapies and wraps. On-site recreation includes an outdoor pool, hosted evening performances, and camel and elephant rides.

Guestrooms. The hotel's 87 redesigned guestrooms feature plaster relief-friezes with intricate corbels, timber-grid ceilings with cast-brass bezels, delicate fresco paintings and traditional Indian color schemes. Room amenities include minibars, satellite television, coffeemakers, private bathrooms and wireless Internet access. Select accommodations are distinguished with claw-foot bathtubs, rainforest showers, crystal chandeliers, plasma televisions and DVD players.

Expert Tip. The hotel's 150-year-old Gangaur Boat hearkens to the royal Mewer reign. Illumined by candlelight, rowers dressed in traditional garb transport guests on an enchanted dinner cruise along Lake Pichola. A sitarist accompanies guests, who can reserve this memorable experience through the hotel concierge. Guests will have an additional supplement to be charged for the period of Christmas and New Year.
