A Mughal-Inspired Palace Preserved on the Lake

Jag Niwas and the Mewar Summer Retreat

Commissioned by Maharana Jagat Singh II between 1743 and 1746 as a summer retreat for the Mewar royal family, the island palace was later transformed into a heritage hotel in 1963 by Maharana Bhagwat Singh Mewar and is now operated by Taj Hotels.

Marble Courts, Terraces and Gardens

The design retains the original island-palace composition through Rajnagar marble, Mughal-influenced planning, column-lined courtyards, pillared terraces, fountains and garden elements. Multiple wings and ceremonial spaces organize the property around its historic royal identity.

A Floating Palace Arrival

Access by boat across Lake Pichola makes the arrival part of the architectural experience. The isolated island setting, palace circulation and formal lake approach distinguish the property from a conventional land-based hotel.

Palace Rooms and Individually Styled Grand Suites

Three Historic Accommodation Categories

The accommodation comprises 65 rooms and 18 grand suites, including 25 Luxury Lake View Rooms, 32 Palace Rooms and 18 Suites distributed through the historic palace structure.

Lake and Garden Outlooks

Lake Pichola at Udaipur’s Historic Core

Near Ambrai Ghat and the Lakefront Zone
