A Palace Reimagined: Fairmont Udaipur Palace Opens Its Doors
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, part of hospitality giant Accor, has officially unveiled its second Indian property with the grand opening of Fairmont Udaipur Palace. Nestled in the sun-dappled folds of the Aravalli Hills, this 18-acre estate captures the spirit of Rajasthan’s regal heritage and marries it with the refinement of contemporary hospitality.
Crafted in collaboration with Keystone Resorts Pvt. Ltd., the Fairmont Udaipur Palace is more than just a hotel—it’s a living palace sculpted from stone, soaked in history, and designed to offer modern-day royalty an unforgettable experience.
Where Heritage Meets Horizon
Rooted in the architectural traditions of Mewar’s grand fortresses, the palace begins its guest journey through the awe-inspiring Raj Dwar, flanked by cannons and lined with intricate courtyards, chhatris, and stepwells. Comprising three elemental wings—Surya Mahal (Sun), Chandra Mahal (Moon), and Agni Mahal (Fire)—each section is a visual and spiritual ode to nature’s primal forces.
With 327 exquisitely designed rooms and suites, including opulent specialty accommodations like the Jewel of Udaipur Suite and Royal Maharaja Suites, every detail whispers luxury and cultural storytelling. Design motifs include handcrafted jharokhas, Thikri mirrorwork, and embroidered art from local artisans, all curated to reflect the soul of Rajasthan.
Culinary & Cultural Immersion
The palace is home to eight dining destinations that act as sensorial extensions of the architecture. From Bahaar‘s soulful regional fare to Dahaad, the leopard-inspired palace bar, and Sitara, a celestial cocktail lounge, each concept tells a distinct story. Soon-to-open highlights include Celeste, an avant-garde Asian bistro, and The Alchemist, a Mediterranean live-kitchen experience.
A New Stage for Celebrations
With 140,000 sq. ft. of celebration space, the palace is purpose-built for weddings, regal events, and intimate moments. From the luminous Jewel Ballroom to the open-air Mehfil Courtyard and terraced views from the Sunset Terrace, Fairmont Udaipur Palace redefines grandeur.
Wellness, Wonder & Whispers of Nature
At the 12,000 sq. ft. Fairmont Spa & Salon, luxury meets holistic healing. Guests are invited to realign through rituals inspired by the sun’s journey and curated blends of aromatherapy, movement, and restoration. Active travelers can enjoy Rendezvous, the palace’s recreation zone offering ziplining, pickleball, and mini golf.
An Invitation to Belong
“This palace isn’t just built in stone and marble, but in stories, craftsmanship, and soul,” says Somesh Agarwal, Chairman and MD of ROCKWOOD Hotels & Keystone. That ethos resonates across the estate. Every inch of Fairmont Udaipur Palace is an ode to belonging, beauty, and timeless hospitality.
As the Fairmont brand expands in India, this majestic address becomes both a destination and a dreamscape—one that promises a luxury stay steeped in memory, ritual, and royal splendor.
