Stay In One Of These 7 Exquisite Hotels Of Udaipur

The glow and glisten of Udaipur at night is a sight to behold. Famously known as the "City of Lakes," it was founded in 1559 and is located in the southernmost part of Rajasthan, near Gujarat. The Aravalli Hills surround the city and add to the wonder of the place, so much so that it was called "the most romantic spot" on the Indian subcontinent by a lieutenant-general of the British East India Company, James Tod.In honour of the the seven lakes of Udaipur, here are seven places to stay at the next time you draft your itinerary to this jewel in Rajasthan's crown.

Just a hop, skip and tumble away from Swaroop Sagar Lake, and not too far from Lake Pichola either, Zostel opens out to the bustling markets of the old city. Whether you sleep on a bunk bed in the dorm, opt for some privacy in the singles room or sit on the rooftop cafe: wherever you go, the lake will follow.Accommodation starts from INR 499 for a single night.Address: Purohit Ji Ka Khurra, Chand Pole, Udaipur 313001Jagat Niwas Palace HotelIf you want a beautiful and budget-friendly hotel with a view of Lake Pichola, look no further than Jagat Niwas.
