The Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur

Visiting the Oberoi Udaivilas in Udaipur, was simply a dream come true. We arrived to a stunning Oberoi welcome on the evening of my 70th birthday. On the way to our room, we were asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. When we arrived in our beautiful room, it had been decorated especially for my birthday and there was a lovely birthday cake. We had a small courtyard through which we could access the pool. Later that evening, we dined outdoors, under the moonlight with a view of Lake Pichola and the Havelis on the other side of the lake. There was music and dancing which was spectacular. The service was wonderful but what stands out for me that night was our dinner. We shared a starter of chicken tikka and our main course was chicken biryani. The amount of food was generous and the food itself was delicious. . The following day we went to visit Jagdish Temple and city palace, both impressive to say the least. On our return to the hotel, we decided to have a simple lunch - mango lassi. It was our first time trying this delicious drink and we ordered more over the next 2 days. Sara also brought a small rose lassi for us to try. If you like Turkish delight as I do, give the rose lassi a try. That evening we dined at Mewar - a culinary experience not to be missed. Our last full day in India was spent in this beautiful hotel relaxing and sampling what the hotel had to offer. I had a Mehndi (henna tattoo) to celebrate my birthday. I just love it although it’s starting to wear off now. Of course we had to try the spa and as we were almost out of time we booked treatments prior to leaving for the airport on our last morning. I wish that we had more time because our experiences were wonderful. The staff in this hotel are, without exception helpful, kind, generous and respectful. The manager, Ibrahim, is visible and very approachable. Restaurant staff are attentive and were helpful in assisting us by providing advice about the regional cuisine. Housekeeping staff deserve a special mention because they looked after us so well. I was already missing the Oberoi Udaivilas as we were leaving. As we say, “Thank you. See you next time. Namaste” I just can’t wait to return.

We recently stayed at The Oberoi Udaivilas for a single night, and overall, it is an absolutely breathtaking property. The architecture, ambiance, and sheer luxury of the resort live up to its legendary reputation, making it feel like a true royal retreat. Both breakfast and dinner were delightful, offering a wonderful spread with great flavors and top-notch quality. The sheer beauty of the location makes it worth a visit.

The stay, hospitality management were super hospitable and supportive. However the food especially biryani was prebatch made which chef accepted, removed from billing, however we ended up with severe food poisoning with puking and diahrrea through the night. Got on call doctor to visit twice took injections, but barely made it back home. Hotel did offer additional stay but with toddler and both parents sick it was impossible to stay, they even offer driver to drop us home, but we were too uncomfortable and not ready to have stranger drive us around. No resolution for why the food was bad and what practices put in place to fix that has been provided so far. Hence the honest review.

This place is beautiful and surreal like an Indian dream. Despite some hiccups that are not the hotels fault, the staff at the hotel really came through and helped us spend our last days in India in absolute heaven. Special thank you to the General Manager Mohit, Manager: Nairwita and Pradeep. Thank you for an sweet end to our India adventure.

A Truly Unforgettable Experience at The Oberoi Udaivilas – A Memory for a Lifetime This was my fifth stay at The Oberoi Udaivilas, and although every visit has always been wonderful, this particular stay has given me memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I would like to express my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to the entire team and management of The Oberoi Udaivilas for making our holiday so incredibly special. One of the biggest surprises was the very generous complimentary upgrade from our Semi-Private Pool Room to a Luxury Suite with a Private Pool. It was an extraordinary gesture and something we truly did not expect. I cannot thank the team enough for making us feel so special. What touched our hearts even more was the beautiful surprise arranged for our child’s birthday and our anniversary. The thought, effort, warmth, and attention to detail that went into making both occasions special meant so much to our entire family. Seeing my family and children so happy made this experience priceless for me. Tomorrow is our check-out, and I can genuinely say that I am leaving Udaivilas with a heart full of gratitude and some of the most beautiful memories of my life. Having stayed at Udaivilas five times, I already knew the exceptional standards of this magnificent property, but this visit was different. This visit was truly unforgettable. The warmth and generosity we received went far beyond hospitality. It made us feel genuinely cared for, almost like family.

A huge and heartfelt thank you to the management and every member of the team who contributed to making our child’s birthday, our anniversary, and our entire holiday so memorable. You did not simply give us a wonderful stay — you gave our family a memory of a lifetime.
