The Lalit Laxmi Vilas Palace Udaipur
Udaipur, India
"A grand heritage palace built in 1911, perched on a hilltop overlooking the Fateh Sagar Lake and Aravalli ranges."
The Lalit Laxmi Vilas Palace is a majestic heritage hotel that sits high on a hilltop, offering perhaps the most iconic panoramic views of Fateh Sagar Lake and the city. Built by His Highness Maharana Fateh Singh in 1911, this palace showcases a blend of Victorian and Rajasthani architecture.

It offers a cinematic setting for a wedding, with the glittering lake on one side and the heritage facade on the other.
