Hotel · Lake Pichola, Udaipur

Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur is the most romantic hotel in India — an 18th-century white marble palace that appears to float on Lake Pichola, accessible only by boat. The 83 rooms and suites are decorated with hand-painted murals, Rajasthani craft, and royal artefacts. The hotel's restaurant, Jharokha, serves the finest Rajasthani cuisine in Udaipur. The rooftop, with views of the City Palace and the Aravalli Hills, is the most atmospheric in India.
