Rajasthan has been a popular place for both international and domestic travellers to visit over the past twenty years. Part of its charm is that, regardless of the number of travellers who pass through these parts, it continues to retain that olde worlde feel; that sense of stepping into a time many years ago. It’s not that long since Maharajas and Maharanas ruled much of this state, and the opulence and grandeur of those times is still apparent.
Udaipur is one of the key destinations for any visitor to Rajasthan, along with Jaipur, Jodhpur, Pushkar and Jaisalmer. Its former status as the capital of the Mewar Kingdom ensures there is plenty to experience by way of royal residences, as well as what Udaipur is famous for – lakes.
In fact, Udaipur is so synonymous with this ecological feature that its alternative name is the City of Lakes. In terms of its geographic location, it’s about 400 kilometres (250 miles) from Jaipur (the state capital), and 250 kilometres (150 miles) from the state capital of Gujarat, Ahmedabad.
When travelling through and exploring Rajasthan, Udaipur is well worth a couple of nights’ stay at least. And without doubt one of the best places to put up is at the Sheraton Udaipur Palace Resort.
Located near Fateh Sagar lake, the Sheraton offers all you could want from a luxury hotel. When choosing your room you have a choice of selecting a Superior Room, Deluxe Room, Club Room or Suite. We recommend the suite if you want to be kind to yourself. These are much larger than all the other rooms, and as you would expect, have additional amenities. However, the best thing about them is the view, as they’re positioned so that you can see Fateh Sagar Lake and the Aravalli mountains.
Dining at the Sheraton Udaipur Palace Resort is a delight, with Wok by the Lake being our personal favourite – both due to its scenic location and the oriental cuisine it dishes up.
The friendly staff at the Sheraton Udaipur Palace Resort will be willing to advise you on activities to do in and around the city, including Rajasthani folk dance performances, visits to the local palaces, and day trips to forts in the surrounding area such as Kumbhalgarh.
