Raffles Udaipur
Udaipur, India
"India’s first Raffles hotel located on a private island in Udai Sagar Lake, offering an ultra-exclusive European-style estate experience."
Raffles Udaipur is a destination unto itself. Situated on a 21-acre private island in the middle of Udai Sagar Lake, it offers a level of seclusion and grandeur that is unmatched. Unlike the heritage palaces of the city, Raffles is designed like a grand European country estate with manicured ornamental gardens and baroque architecture. It brings the legendary Raffles service (including personal butlers) to Rajasthan. From the ceremonial boat arrival to sipping the "Udaipur Sling" at the Long Bar, a wedding here is an affair of quiet, sophisticated luxury.
