Rajasthan has always been synonymous with regal charm, but Fairmont Udaipur Palace brings that legacy into the present with fresh opulence and architectural splendor. Situated on an expansive 18-acre estate near the Aravalli Hills, this new five-star destination is more than just a hotel. It is an experience crafted for those who seek the richness of history wrapped in the comfort of modern luxury. Developed by Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, a part of the Accor Group, in collaboration with Keystone Resorts, this is one of the most anticipated luxury launches in the country.
Designed using locally sourced stone, the structure of the palace mirrors the timeless beauty of Rajasthan’s royal past. Walking through the property feels like entering a fortress of elegance. From its towering Raj Dwar entrance lined with traditional cannons to its majestic stepwells, chattris, and courtyards, the property captures the soul of Mewar architecture. The three main wings of the palace Surya Mahal, Chandra Mahal, and Agni Mahal are inspired by the elements of sun, moon, and fire. Every detail, from Thikri mirror inlays to embroidered textiles and leopard sculptures, pays tribute to the state’s rich culture and artistic traditions.
With 327 luxurious rooms and suites, the hotel offers something for every kind of traveler. From private plunge pools to expansive terraces overlooking the valley, each room combines comfort with classic aesthetics. For those seeking an even grander stay, the Royal Maharaja and Maharani suites offer private pools, handcrafted décor, and bespoke service that redefines exclusivity.
Dining at Fairmont Udaipur Palace is a journey in itself. The hotel features eight culinary destinations, including local Rajasthani fare at Zaika, elegant evenings at Sitara, and outdoor indulgence at The Ivory Pool Bar. Soon-to-open additions like Celeste, an Asian bistro, and The Alchemist, a Mediterranean kitchen, promise to make the property a hub for global flavors with local soul.
Events and celebrations here take on a whole new scale. With over one lakh square feet of dedicated event space, including sprawling terraces, ornate ballrooms, and a private event pool, Fairmont Udaipur Palace is built for grand weddings, milestone celebrations, and corporate getaways. Whether you are exchanging vows under a starlit sky or hosting a conference with panoramic views, the setting makes every occasion unforgettable.
Beyond rooms and dining, the hotel offers a world of experiences. The Fairmont Spa brings together natural elements and traditional wellness rituals in a serene environment that soothes the senses. For the more active guests, there is mini golf, paddle ball, and even ziplining. Children have their own zone, making it a family-friendly retreat. For added flair, guests can arrive via the hotel’s private helipad, a rare luxury in most parts of the region.
The hotel’s location makes it the perfect base for exploring Udaipur. Guests can easily visit iconic attractions like the City Palace, Lake Pichola, and Jag Mandir. A short drive away lies Jagdish Temple, Fateh Sagar Lake, and the Monsoon Palace perched high above the city. For those who want to go deeper, Bagore Ki Haveli Museum and Saheliyon Ki Bari offer rich cultural insights, while day trips to Kumbhalgarh Fort, Ranakpur Jain Temple, and Nathdwara's Shrinathji Temple add spiritual and historical depth to the journey.
Fairmont Udaipur Palace is not just a place to stay. It is a destination that embodies everything Rajasthan stands for regal grace, warm hospitality, and unforgettable experiences. It brings global luxury to India’s cultural heartland in a way that respects tradition and embraces the future.
