PB hotel design editorial

On the eastern shore of Lake Pichola, directly across the water from the Taj Lake Palace and with the City Palace rising on the hillside beyond, few hotel addresses in Rajasthan carry a more loaded visual conversation. The Leela Palace Udaipur, which opened in 2009, was conceived as a new-build interpretation of Mewar palace architecture — chhatri-crowned pavilions, arched colonnades, and sandstone-toned facades arranged along the lakefront in a composition that, seen from the water at night, presents as a coherent extension of Udaipur's historic skyline rather than a contemporary intrusion. The interiors draw deeply on Rajput craft traditions: hand-painted miniature works mounted in the guest rooms, ikat-patterned bed runners in deep saffron and crimson, dark-stained timber balcony screens carved in chevron lattice patterns, and plasterwork cornices with leaf-relief detailing visible across the ceilings. Across 80 rooms and suites spread over five floors, the palette settles into warm amber, bronze, and ivory — materials that absorb the lake light filtering through sheer gold drapes. The pool deck, tiled in a bold cobalt-and-white geometric pattern that echoes traditional Rajasthani tilework, runs toward the water's edge with the Lake Palace floating in the middle distance. At the Sheesh Mahal restaurant terrace, hand-block-printed fabric awnings stretched between raking timber poles shelter diners from the evening sky while keeping the City Palace framed, deliberately and precisely, within the view.

"It’s the most attentive service in an absolutely gorgeous location. We arrived for a total of three nights here. One afternoon, asked for a boat tour and immediately a pontoon appeared and took us all across the lake with one of the hotel manager’s (Anurag) stepping on board without even being asked, and giving us all a detailed history of the places on the water, and of the people who lived here over 300 years ago. What a wonderful way to see and learn the local history. Hotel itself is impeccable with a lavish breakfast. Concierge was superb. And was able to get some needed medicines in just a few hours."

"Dear General Manager, During my recent travels with the Tauck Group, I had an unexpected experience that truly showcased the warmth and excellence of your hospitality. I arrived with a serious hand injury, and the bleeding was quite severe. One of your team members yograaj immediately stepped in with remarkable calmness, kindness, and confidence. What initially seemed minor turned out to be a deep cut, yet he handled it with great care and patience, successfully controlling the bleeding even before the doctor’s arrival. The doctor later appreciated the quality of the initial care provided. What touched me the most was that throughout this entire situation, I felt completely safe, reassured, and genuinely cared for. Please take special care of my man—he is truly an asset to your organization and a wonderful reflection of your values. Warm regards, Jeff"
