Taj Lake Palace
Intimate isle with vast views of Lake Pichola



A white marble monolith perched atop the waters of Lake Pichola, Taj Lake Palace impresses from first sight, exuding opulent grandeur outside and in. A gentle motorboat transfer brings you to a warm reception committee at the dock, leading through a rose petal shower to the marble and gilt-moulding interior, as ornate a space as when the residence was built hundreds of years ago for the royalty. Rooms and suites blend Rajasthani style with European opulence; standout flourishes such as an antique, brass-chained swing in the Khush Mahal Grand Royal Suite, and unparalleled lake views from the balcony of the Grand Presidential Suite make each private space one of surprises and splendour.
