The 240-room Sheraton Udaipur Palace Resort & Spa is located on the banks of picturesque Fateh Sagar Lake in one of India’s ancient cities. Located only three kilometers west of the city centre, Sheraton Udaipur is close to many of this historic city’s cultural, historic and natural attractions. There are also many fascinating museums and art galleries to explore, as well as diverse restaurants and shopping.
Other resort facilities include approximately 600 square meters of meeting space and three lush gardens, four restaurants and bars, a spa and an upcoming club floor. The scenic location has made the resort an extremely popular destination for weddings. Udaipur, known as both the city of lakes and the “Venice of the East”, is the historic capital of the former kingdom of Mewar in Rajasthan. Apart from its history, culture and scenic location, it is also known for its stunning palaces. The city is also a popular venue for Bollywood and international movies and TV series, including James Bond in India, Octopussy, and The Jewel in the Crown, among many others.
