A Mewar Residence Within the City Palace
Royal origins in the palace complex
The hotel occupies a historic royal building within Udaipur’s City Palace Complex, with an identity rooted in Mewar’s Rajput palace architecture. Its accommodation and public areas are arranged around the existing royal setting rather than a conventional linear hotel plan.
Ivory, mosaic and fresco detailing
The heritage interiors use ivory, mother-of-pearl, glass mosaic and fresco-painting elements. Rooms and public spaces extend across different levels and around courtyard-centered areas, including the pool courtyard and adjoining terraces.
Palace-era cultural programming
The property’s heritage character continues through palace band performances at dusk, classical music in the evenings and access on request to the Maharana Mewar Special Library.
Four Tiers of Palace Accommodation
A 36-room royal inventory
The accommodation collection comprises 19 Palace Rooms, 8 Terrace Suites, 6 Royal Suites and 3 Imperial Suites. The categories occupy different parts and levels of the palace property, creating a compact and varied room inventory.
From rampart rooms to lake terraces
Palace Rooms are positioned below the ramparts and along the main entrance approach. Terrace Suites are located in the main palace section above the swimming pool and include private terraces with views over Lake Pichola; Royal Suites and Imperial Suites are positioned above them.
Individually decorated palace interiors
Rooms are individually decorated within the heritage building, and some include marble flooring. Family occupancy is supported through the room mix, with possible connecting arrangements noted in hotel listings.
Paantya, Palki Khana and Poolside Dining
Paantya’s Indian and international menu
Paantya is a primary dining venue serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, with Indian and international cuisine represented in descriptions of its offering.
Café service at Palki Khana
Palki Khana operates as a café or all-day venue, serving brunch, lunch and dinner. It forms part of the hotel’s named dining collection alongside Paantya rather than functioning only as a supplementary service.
Pool Deck snacks and dinner
The Pool Deck or poolside dining area serves light snacks through the day and dinner from 11:00 am to 10:30 pm. Panera is the onsite bar, adding a separate drinks venue to the dining options.
A Shaded Courtyard Pool Beside the Palace Terraces
Central outdoor swimming pool
The outdoor swimming pool sits in a visually prominent courtyard shaded by mature trees. It is positioned beside adjoining terraces and functions as a central shared leisure space within the palace layout.
Poolside access and dining
The pool area is linked with poolside dining and with accommodation zones above the swimming pool. It provides the setting for daytime leisure as well as meals and light snacks at the Pool Deck.
Boating on Lake Pichola
Solar and motor boats are available on Lake Pichola, extending the property’s outdoor leisure offer from its internal courtyard to the lake beside the City Palace Complex.
Panghat Spa, Steam Rooms and Palace Leisure
Ayurvedic and beauty treatments
Panghat Spa and Beauty Salon provides Ayurvedic treatments and beauty services. The wider treatment offering also includes Swedish massages, while steam rooms add a thermal element to the wellness facilities.
Active leisure within the palace
