Evening view across Lake Pichola from the Shiv Niwas Palace toward the Lake Palace Hotel in Udaipur. Both are former royal residences which have been converted into hotels, a trend that has become increasingly popular in India’s Rajasthan region where princely states remained semi-independent during British rule.
Comfortable wicker furniture provides numerous spots for conversation over tea or cooling drinks in the spacious public spaces of the Raffles Hotel. The white columns and marble floors offer a contrast to the tropical foliage just outside.
