Raffles Udaipur

Raffles Udaipur, the first Raffles-branded hotel in India, is a luxurious haven that exemplifies refined elegance, heritage, and world-class hospitality. Nestled on a private island in the serene Udai Sagar Lake, just a 20-minute drive from Udaipur city and a short boat ride from the mainland, this palatial resort offers a tranquil escape into the heart of Rajasthan’s rich cultural tapestry. Opened in 2021, Udaipur Raffles brings the legendary legacy of the Raffles brand—originally founded in Singapore in 1887—to the romantic and historic landscape of Udaipur, also known as the "City of Lakes."

The hotel’s architecture and design draw heavy inspiration from the regal palaces of Rajasthan, blending Mughal and Rajput aesthetics with contemporary sensibilities. Set amidst 21 acres of landscaped gardens and surrounded by the Aravalli hills, the property features opulent domes, grand façades, and intricate detailing that reflect the craftsmanship and artistry synonymous with the region. Every aspect of Raffles Udaipur Resort is curated to offer an experience that is both culturally immersive and luxuriously modern.

Hotel Raffles Udaipur houses 101 spacious rooms and suites, many of which offer uninterrupted views of the lake, gardens, and surrounding hills. Each accommodation is meticulously designed with bespoke furnishings, handcrafted textiles, and modern amenities that provide comfort while echoing the grandeur of royal Rajasthan. Personalized butler service, a hallmark of the Raffles brand, ensures that every guest experience is thoughtfully tailored and memorable.

Culinary experiences at Raffles Hotel in Udaipur are equally exquisite. The resort boasts several high-end dining venues, including Sawāi Kitchen, which serves authentic Rajasthani cuisine, and Harvest, a farm-to-table concept that celebrates organic and seasonal ingredients. The Raffles Long Bar, a nod to its Singaporean origins, offers signature cocktails including the famous Singapore Sling, while The Writers Bar provides an intimate and refined space for high tea and cocktails.

Beyond hospitality, Raffles Hotel Udaipur is also a sanctuary for well-being and rejuvenation. The Raffles Spa offers a variety of bespoke wellness treatments inspired by traditional Indian healing practices, complemented by a yoga pavilion, a modern fitness center, and a large outdoor pool. The resort also provides curated cultural experiences, including heritage walks, art workshops, and lakefront picnics, which allow guests to deeply engage with the region’s history and natural beauty.

Ideal for romantic getaways, destination weddings, and intimate celebrations, Raffles Resort Udaipur redefines luxury in India’s hospitality landscape. With its seamless blend of royal heritage, tranquil natural surroundings, and legendary Raffles service, it offers an unforgettable experience that captures the soul of Rajasthan while upholding the timeless charm of the Raffles name.
