The Shaharkot - By The Lake  

On the palace side of Lake Pichola in central Udaipur, a boutique hotel sitting adjacent to the City Palace and steps from Lake Pichola. About a 1-minute drive to City Palace and roughly 6 minutes to Lake Fateh Sagar; Maharana Pratap Airport is ~24 km away. Ideal for lake-view, central sightseeing stays.

Tucked into the erstwhile mangrove, the property has one wall facing the Great City Palace and the other facing the ageless Lake Pichola. The boutique vibe is calm and slightly romantic—think local flora, heritage touches and rooftop panoramas. There are 72 guestrooms with memory-foam beds, cable TV and private bathrooms; pets are allowed.

Stand-out perks include a rooftop terrace and restaurant with sweeping Lake Pichola views, 24-hour front desk and room service, tour/ticket assistance, a small library and concierge services. Practical comforts: complimentary Wi‑Fi, free self-parking, laundry/dry cleaning, car rental help and a roundtrip airport shuttle (available for a surcharge). Wake up to lake-breeze mornings and a view that puts the Lake Palace at arm’s length.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the hotel keeps you connected. Free on-site parking and a 24-hour airport shuttle (surcharge) help with logistics.

The rooftop restaurant specializes in Indian cuisine and serves lunch and dinner with dramatic lake views. Prefer privacy? 24-hour room service is available for late arrivals and night owls.
