1.THE OBEROI UDAIVILAS,UDAIPUR
The phenomenal Oberoi
Udaivilas is spread over 50 acres on the banks of Lake Pichola, on the
200-year-old hunting grounds of the Maharana of Mewar. The resort offers unique
experiences that include private lakeside dining, traditional boat rides,
private cooking sessions and fun activities for children. The indoor and
alfresco restaurants have lake and garden views, and serve fine international
and Indian cuisine, while the spa offers signature Oberoi treatments. I
recommend to opt for a suite with a private pool, or for a premier room with
comes with direct access to a unique 240 ft (73 m) long semi-private pool and a
bath tub with uninterrupted lake views.

2.AMANBAGH,RAJASTHAN
Once used by the
Maharajah of Alwar as his base for tiger-hunting expeditions, today Amanbagh’s
lush compound shelters guests in a modern-day Mughal palace, carved out of
local pink marble and sandstone, with scalloped arches and cupolas paying
homage to India’s golden age. A sanctuary in the arid Aravalli hills, 90
minutes from frenetic Jaipur, the property is surrounded by mature palm, fruit
and eucalyptus trees, which shade the emerald-green pool. Beyond the palatial
Suites, spa and gardens, guests will discover welcoming villages, majestic
forts and ruins, and the jungle of Sariska National Park, where tigers still
roam free.

3. TAJ LAKE PALACE, UDAIPUR
Rising like a mirage from Lake
Pichola, the white-marble-and-mosaic Taj Lake Palace beckons to travelers. The
palace itself dates back to 1746, when it was built by Maharana Jagat Singh II.
Today, guests are treated like royalty by an entourage of palace butlers who
ensure that every creature comfort is provided. The Jiva Spa draws rich idioms
from millennia-old Indian wellness and healing therapies, resulting in a menu
of aromatherapy massages, body scrubs and wraps that are sure to rejuvenate
even the weariest body. From mid-October to mid-April, the hotel’s rooftop
Bhairo restaurant is open and serves contemporary European cuisine with
spectacular palace lake and views.

4. THE OBEROI AMARVILAS
Situated less than 2000 feet

exquisitely appointed rooms and suites, each with uninterrupted view of the Taj
