This 'Palace' retains much of its original late 19th, early 20th Century decor and ambience, including walls lined with the stuffed heads of hunting trophies shot by the family of the builder, Maharawal Udai Singhji. Modernisation has added a wing of relatively new rooms and a luxurious swimming pool, but the place still has a family feel about it. The... More

Udai Bilas Palace is a unique place where you will feel like you are the king!! A place where time stops... Nice palace ..Good to spend couple of days. Kids may not like to extend the stay beyond 1 or 2 days. Go there to unwind yourself

Driving from Ahmedebad to Udaipur, we followed our own advice from last year, and stopped off at the palace in Dungapur, Even writing that sentence is fun, of course: it's not often that you get to stay in a real palace with such a real sense of style. This time we spent two nights and were glad we did. Our... More

We drove down to this property from Udaipur, night drive, and after the main highway through narrow single-lane roads - literally the middle of nowhere - and through an entrance which seemed unimpressive at night. But that is part of the understated charm of this property, which for me was more impressive than my stay at the Lake Palace in... More

This Palace is very authentic - rooms full of stuffed trophies, a beautiful 4-storey Haveli in the inner courtyard, historical suites from the days of the Raj, as well as new touches which cater to the tourists' whims - a dreamy pool overlooking the lake, a 40 foot inlaid marble dining table with a lotus pond in the centre, and...

Okay, so they haven’t spent a single rupee on furniture or fixtures in the past 50 years. However, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, so the elegance could be considered as “understated”. Room #2 was a huge suite, sitting area, two large beds, and low-lit; the washroom was large and wonderfully clean with a cast iron tub. Swimming pool was... More

This hotel is visually stunning without doubt: infinity pool and breathtaking lakeside position and architecture. An exquisite delight just to be here. The rooms are pure 1940s: just before the British left their Raj. The dining room is bizarre and unique. But there was something just a little sad and neglected about this place we felt: it is in real... More

As our car left the small town of Dungarpur along the country lane on the lake shore, we knew the Udai Bilas Palace was going to be something special. We were not quite prepared for the quiet, old-world (finished in 1911) luxury that we experienced. We choose a wonderful room overlooking the lake furnished with beautiful fabrics and antique furniture,... More

We stayed here for three nights before going on to Udaipur. The hotel is as described by other reviewers - a quiet spot on a lake at the edge of Dungarpur. The rooms, ambience and comfort are all first rate in this old palace building. It makes a nice contrast to the more brash 5 star modern hotels. We enjoyed... More
