The Leela Palace Udaipur
Udaipur, India · The Leela Palaces · Grand Luxury
Renowned resort designer Bill Bensley built this modern palace on Lake Pichola's southern shore from scratch in 2009, rather than restoring an existing structure, evoking Mewar royal grandeur with Rajasthani thikri mirrorwork and marble by interior designer Jeffery Wilkes. Guests arrive by private boat across the lake to a rose-petal entrance, and the hotel's Guava Garden threads marble pathways through fragrant orchards. It has grown from 80 rooms and suites at opening to 88 today.
