The Taj Lake Palace Hotel

In a dreamy setting in the middle of Lake Pichola, the Taj Lake Palace Hotel is definitely a romantic choice for couples and honeymooners wanting an exotic, stylish and peaceful getaway to celebrate their love.

A sprawling monument to hospitality, love and beauty, the Taj Lake Palace is nestled between the stunning backdrop of the Aravalli Mountains and the glittering waters of the lake. Since the hotel was once a palace, each guest is treated like royalty.

At night, when the moon is full, the stars twinkling in the black velvet of the sky, the white marble exterior glistens and reminds guests of the Taj Mahal, the epitome of love. Originating from 1746, the Palace was built by Maharana Jagat Singh II, 62nd successor to the royal dynasty of Mewar.

Rooms:

The Taj Lake Palace offers 83 guest rooms and 17 suites, all created in the highest standards of luxury and amenities. The guest rooms come in luxury or palace, and guests get exactly what they pay for –rooms sumptuously decorated. No inch of the rooms goes untouched by exquisite detail, yet they have that understated elegant feel to them. The bathrooms are a delight to immerse oneself in.

The suites are the very highest of luxury. The Sajjan Niwas Suite was the favourite we stayed in, decorated in cool shades of blue-green, over 100 years old and retaining that old Imperial Indian royal charm. The mural of Shiva and his wife behind the bed really comes alive, making you feel as though you are a princess.

Dining:

Dining at the Taj Lake Palace is an experience not to be missed all by itself. The hotel offers a range of smart-casual to fine dining in stunning settings. Bhairo offers out-of-this-world views from its open-air setting. The views of the lake at sunset really enhance the quality of your meals here, especially with the exquisite European delights the chefs lovingly and artistically prepare.

The Neel Kamal is the height of sophistication and elegance, inviting guests to enjoy their meals in a setting reminiscent of a royal banquet hall with marvellous views of the peaceful Lily pond. This is the place to go to for mouth-watering Indian food with innovative touches.

The Amrit Sagar offers a good selection of international fine wines, vintage spirits and cigars to sample in stylish surroundings. With both an indoor and outdoor ambience, the Amrit Sagar offers a more relaxed atmosphere.

Leisure and Activities:

At any palace, guests are treated like royalty and the Taj Lake Palace is no exception. Feel like a king or queen by pampering yourself at the world class spa and health facilities at this beautiful hotel. There are a range of traditional Indian therapies with modern touches, all designed to create a sense of wellness and peacefulness in your body.

The Taj Lake Palace also offers firework displays and traditional local performance acts.

If you need to get out of the Taj Lake Palace, then the hotel can arrange a range of different activities and excursions. The only problem is that the hotel is so beautiful and inviting you may not want to leave!

Business Facilities:

Whatever the time of day, the Taj Lake Palace can arrange any conference for any company; with sit down or theatrical styled seating, business can be concluded with style and class here. The first class staff can also arrange company dinners on a royal barge to make it a business trip to remember.
