LOCATION COURTESY: The Leela Palace Udaipur. The newest luxury hub by Udaipur’s Lake Pichola, this one-year old marvel of unabated opulence is a visual delight for any visitor. Modern black and white zigzag patterns merge seamlessly with Rajasthan’s signature sandstone yellow hues to create a unique mix of old and new, a theme that is revisited in the entire space of the establishment. Metal-embossed courtyard walls, antique paintings, cut crystal chandeliers and filigreed silver make discreet statements of style throughout the spaces. Tekri and tarkashi – traditional Mewari art forms – are evident in all the rooms and public spaces. ESPA is a must-visit, for its relaxing massage therapies and world-acclaimed hair and skin products. Dining is a relaxed and eclectic affair, offering a chance to savour local delicacies, continental entrées as well as a wide selection of Indian and international favourites. Make this hotel a must-see, for its inspiring design and superlative service.
