Udaipur palace hotel introduces amenities like mini golf, pickleball, and a personal helipad for guests
Nestled on an 18-acre estate perched on the ancient Aravalli Hills, Fairmont Udaipur Palace offers a unique blend of historic grandeur and modern experiential luxury in Udaipur, India.
This palace hotel, divided into three wings - Surya Mahal (Sun Palace), Chandra Mahal (Moon Palace), and Agni Mahal (Fire Palace) - each designed to reflect elemental energy, boasts 327 rooms and suites, including garden-facing luxury rooms, signature suites with private plunge pools, and the Royal Maharaja and Royal Maharani Suites with private pools, expansive terraces, and intricately detailed interiors.
Unlike traditional palace hotels, Fairmont Udaipur Palace offers several unique amenities. The hotel's extensive celebration space includes the luminous Jewel Ballroom, an open-air Mehfil Courtyard, and the Sunset Terrace with terraced views, specially designed for weddings and regal events.
The palace also houses eight curated dining venues, each with a unique theme and cuisine. Guests can enjoy regional fare at Bahaar, reimagined Indian classics with bold, modern flair at Zaika, or relax at the leopard-inspired Dahaad palace bar. Upcoming avant-garde concepts like Celeste (Asian bistro) and The Alchemist (Mediterranean live kitchen) are set to join the lineup soon.
Active recreation options abound, with ziplining, pickleball, and mini golf available at the "Rendezvous" recreation zone. Guest rooms and suites also offer modern luxury features like private cabanas and temperature-controlled semi-private infinity pools with panoramic hill views.
For those seeking relaxation, the Fairmont Spa & Salon spans 12,000 sq. ft. and draws inspiration from the journey of the sun, offering rituals and therapies designed to align with nature’s rhythm.
The hotel's design draws inspiration from Mewar's fortress architecture, and its corridors feature Thikri mirror work, while walls are dressed in embroidered textiles made by local artisans from Rajasthani villages.
Leopard sculptures can be found throughout the hotel, serving as the palace's spirit animal. The Ivory Pool Bar serves daylight bites and sunset drinks in a breezy sunken setting, while Sitara is a cocktail destination with a sky terrace offering cosmic views. Dahaad is a palace bar named after a leopard's roar, featuring a dramatic thikri centrepiece and moody, opulent interiors.
Dastaan doubles as a storytelling lounge with art books, sculptures, candles, and long conversations. The hotel's entrance is cannon-flanked Raj Dwar. The property also includes a custom-built events pool for private soirees, cocktail hours, or post-wedding afterparties, set against the backdrop of rock formations and natural foliage, with an adjoining jacuzzi.
Fairmont Udaipur Palace's jewel in the crown is the Jewel of Udaipur Suite, one of the property's showstoppers, featuring sweeping views and curated touches that feel more like a residence than a resort.
With its unique blend of traditional Rajasthani culture and architecture, comprehensive luxury, wellness, culinary innovation, and active lifestyle options, Fairmont Udaipur Palace distinguishes itself from conventional palace hotels focused predominantly on heritage and static luxury.
