Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur

The 15 Best Lake Vacations in the World With MICHELIN-Worthy Stays & Dining

"For a serene stay on Lake Pichola, this palace-turned-heritage hotel appears to float amid the water, all head-turning cupolas, ornamental turrets and domes crafted in Rajnagar marble. Formerly the summer retreat of Udaipur’s royalty, it now offers bedrooms bursting with coral and teal color pops, intricately carved wooden lattice work and teak furniture; you can drift across the lake by candlelight on a 150-year-old Gangaur barge, hop to the 17th-century Jagmandir Island Palace, and feast on Rajasthani specialties like crimson laal maas and honeycomb-like ghewar, or opt for R&R with a detoxifying massage using tulsi, lime and ginger oils in the J Wellness Circle spa." - The MICHELIN Guide
