Best Honeymoon Hotels in Udaipur

Forty minutes from Udaipur in the Aravalli hills, Raas Devigarh is arguably India's finest boutique hotel — a 18th-century fort of extraordinary architectural presence, sensitively restored by Priya and Lekha Poddar with a minimalist contemporary sensibility that trusts the original building's beauty completely. The rooftop stargazing, the candlelit courtyard dinners, and the complete absence of cars and noise make it transformative.

One of the old city's most atmospheric lakefront havelis, Jagat Niwas occupies two converted 17th-century buildings stacked above the eastern shore — affordable rooms in varying states of heritage grandeur, a rooftop restaurant with lake views, and the priceless asset of a location that puts you in the beating heart of old Udaipur, steps from the ghats.

Udai Kothi is Udaipur's finest traditional haveli hotel — a converted nobleman's residence of surprising architectural complexity, with rooms ranging from small and atmospheric to rooftop suites with private lake terraces. The rooftop pool with its floating marigold garlands and direct view of the Lake Palace is extraordinarily Instagram-famous for very good reason.

A 350-year-old lakeside haveli converted into one of Udaipur's most intimate heritage properties — just 16 rooms, each individually furnished with antiques and hand-block-printed textiles, most with balconies directly over Lake Pichola's surface. The Ambrai restaurant terrace below is the most celebrated outdoor dining location in the city, looking directly across to the illuminated City Palace and Lake Palace after dark.

An integral wing of the City Palace complex, the Fateh Prakash Palace provides the opportunity to actually sleep within the maharanas' ancestral home — suites furnished with original royal antiques, oil portraits, and a balcony over the lake that no new-built property can replicate. The Crystal Gallery downstairs, housing Maharana Sajjan Singh's 1877 Osler glass commission, is the most extraordinary room in Udaipur.
