Fodor's Expert Review Jagat Niwas Palace Hotel
23–25 Lal Ghat, Udaipur, Rajasthan, 313001, India Fodor's Choice
Overlooking Lake Pichola, this airy, whitewashed, 17th-century haveli hotel is one of the best medium-budget places to stay in Udaipur; you'd be hard-pressed to find better value (or better views). The haveli, artistically decked out with filigree work, carvings, and paintings, is quite spacious and accommodations are located through different courtyards and at different levels. Rooms are neatly decorated with Rajasthani fabrics and heavy wooden furniture, and the bathrooms sparkle. There's a bakery on the premises. The charming rooftop restaurant has romantic open-air alcoves overlooking the lake. Most of the better-category rooms have lake views, and some suites have window seats to take full advantage of the vista.
PROS
- unsurpassed views of the lake and Aravali Hills
- best value in town
- short walk from shopping and restaurants
CONS
- narrow approach only by auto-rickshaw
- no pool or elevator
- allot time between showers for hot water
