Another noteworthy entrant in the list of luxury hotels in Udaipur is Raffles Udaipur, creating quite a buzz already for being the first from the hospitality brand to set foot in India. With its debut property in the city of lakes, what you can expect is a stay at a 21-acre private island in Udai Sagar Lake with panoramic views of the surrounding hills. While the hotel is reminiscent of an English country estate with beautiful ornamental gardens, it's hard to miss the elements of Rajasthan's royal heritage and Mughal architecture too.
