We came to this hotel on the recommendation of friends who had stayed there the previous year. Even though they gave us a glowing report, nothing could prepare us for quite how wonderful this hotel is.

Very sadly we arrived just when the Coronavirus was starting to impact tourism in India, so the hotel was quiet. Although we were very very sorry for the utterly charming owners, we were incredibly lucky to be upgraded to one of the two Master Suites, and were greeted on arrival by a member of staff who was clearly delighted for us that we would be staying in such a beautiful room that they were so obviously, and quite rightly, proud of. Richard, one of the proprietors, has the most exquisite interior design skills and instead of writing here a long string of gushing superlatives, I will attach some photos of the rooms, which are, like the hotel in general, a seamless blend of Indian influences and English country house.

Clearly anyone is delighted to be upgraded, but everything about the hotel was glorious: food was the best we had in India, and most definitely the best desserts. Much as I love Indian food it was fabulous to have the likes of banoffee pie and creme brûlée after an exquisitely cooked India meal, all using fresh produce from the hotel's kitchen garden. The chef is amazing!

Other thoughtful touches were complimentary afternoon tea and biscuits, a fabulous shop selling gorgeous clothing and gifts, and the fact that drinks and canapés are served each evening at a pre-dinner gathering of all the guests hosted by Richard and Trish, so that it really is like a country house party.

I'm sure it is lovely to stay at one of the upmarket hotels lakeside in Udaipur, but Bujera Fort has real soul and peace and tranquility. The personal touch that Richard, Trish and their attentive team give is worth much much more than just being a passing guest in a large hotel chain.

Bujera Fort is not just a luxury hotel in Udaipur. It is so much more! An experience in itself.
Upon arrival we were greeted in the beautiful garden with a wonderful cup of tea, one of those magic moments and sunsets that will stay forever in my mind and heart.
The suite was absolutely fantastic, the marble room simply amazing. Richard showed us through the property. Works of art with beautiful taste.
Drinks around the fire, delicious dinner, the hot water bottle waiting for us in our bed. Every tiny detail. Friendly staff.
My favourite place in Udaipur.
Thanks!!!

Thank you Richard and Trish for a glorious and welcoming stay at Bujera Fort. It was just the grand finale to our trip that we were looking for, and a welcoming retreat from the hustle of Rajasthan (which was very much needed after our travels!)

The attention to detail throughout the property is remarkable, whilst the surrounding mountains and local countryside make for an ideal setting. (We'd recommend taking a morning walk through the local villages)
We were also very lucky to be upgraded to the Master Suite, which is absolutely beautiful and incredibly spacious.

The staff were all so accommodating, and the food delicious! We especially looked forward each evening to the canapes served with drinks in the garden under the stars. The head chef prepared dinner according to guest's preferences and what was available in from the garden; he then kindly shared some of his best recipes with us.
We'd like to mention a big thank you to Shakti, the General Manager who was especially helpful with our (very) early check in, and our chaotic last minute plans - he ensured everything was taken care of and seamlessly.

If you're looking for a somewhere extra special to stay whilst in India, then we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bujera Fort for a second!
