Taj Lake Palace

The Taj comes with dining options to suit all palettes. Tuck into authentic Rajasthani dishes under an intricate lotus motif and views over the lily pond; enjoy European fare amongst the turrets at the seasonally open-air, Bhario; and for a more informal meal, the 24-hour Jharokha has a lovely spot overlooking the lake. Grab a glass of vintage wine or a colourful cocktail at the ornate Amrit Sagar bar or enjoy a dip in the large and pristine pool complete with shaded loungers under a grand pavilion. Visit the Jiva Spa for pampering treatments from delightful aromatherapy to rich, spiced scrubs.

Decked out in metallic hues and floral-inspired designs, the Taj's menu of rooms and suites each have a comfortable king size bed (or twins) and window seats to take every advantage of the view. The Taj's crown jewel is the Grand Presidential suite complete with a private balcony, jacuzzi and dining area. Gorgeous Indian silks, teak wood furnishings and a marble en-suite bathroom come with each room as well as the attentive care of a personal butler.
