The Leela Palace Udaipur
Lakefront setting,
Panoramic views,
Modern luxury
Couples,
Families,
Honeymooners
The Leela in Udaipur has a unique position on picturesque Lake Pichola with fantastic views of the famous Taj Lake Palace Hotel.
Each of its 80 rooms and suites is blessed with unbeatable lake views. Moreover, this is a particularly spacious hotel, much more so than many others in the area. The generously sized pool area and expansive lobby are good spots for spreading out and relaxing.
The Leela Palace, due to its expansive size, is slightly impersonal and lacks that special local flair that smaller establishments can provide. However, it remains a great choice for honeymooners, families, and couples wishing to relax and sightsee in beautiful Udaipur.
The Leela has a contemporary Indian feel about it, which makes it perfect for those who like international standards. The rooms are modern and slick, with high-end technology and sophisticated design elements. You’ll find all the usual amenities at the hotel: three restaurants, first-class bars, a rejuvenation spa, and boutique.
The Rooms
Choose from premier rooms or luxurious suites, the largest of which is fit for a Maharaja with its very own plunge pool, massage parlour, Jacuzzi, and private courtyard.
All rooms offer great views of the lake and palace. Leela is well known for its high-end service standards, making it a good choice for those who are after a dash of the royal treatment.

Classic Rajasthan with the Taj Mahal
Our ‘Classic Rajasthan with the Taj’ itinerary idea takes in all the must-see sites of India’s Golden Triangle and beyond, such as Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur. You’ll also experience a change of pace and a glimpse at an older, more rural Rajasthan with its impossibly romantic desert forts, dramatic scenery and wildlife.
We’ve suggested mixing opulent city hotels, perfect for escaping the clamour outside, with peacefully charming but quirky heritage properties in converted Rajput residences, used for entertaining visitors from time immemorial.
