This surreal white marble palace floats elegantly on the tranquil waters of Lake Pichola.

Take in the magical views over the lake and admire City Palace, one of the many sights to see in Udaipur. James Bond fanatics may recognise Taj Lake Palace from the film, 'Octopussy'.
Romance
Taj Lake Palace is considered one of the most romantic hotels in the world. From the moment you step on the immaculate wooden water taxi, which takes you across the glistening Lake Pichola, to stepping off the boat to a shower of rose petals and a platter of refreshments that await your arrival, guided under a sequined umbrella to a traditional welcome, you realise you are in paradise. Royal butlers treat you like a maharajah and cater to your every need, while a private dining experience enables you to enjoy a romantic meal in the most magnificent settings, with menus designed for you by master chefs.
