Built to resemble a palace, the Sheraton Udaipur sits right on Fateh Sagar Lake, close to the city and its famous palaces. I stayed one night with friends while passing through, drawn by the brand’s dependable standards.

Setting and arrival
The lakeside position gives picturesque views, best enjoyed from the lobby bar. The atmosphere is private and peaceful, even in the public areas. Front desk service was to Sheraton standard: my status was recognised with an upgrade, complimentary internet and a fruit bowl.
The rooms
My Deluxe Room looked out over the lake and was decorated with Rajasthani designs, with a seating area and desk. The marble bathroom has a shower with a window into the room for natural light.
Dining and activities
Antara, the main restaurant, serves dinner and breakfast with friendly, smiling staff. The hotel arranges tours of Udaipur’s palaces and lakes, and hiring a driver is the easiest way to see them.
The verdict
Lake views, palace-style architecture and a good choice of restaurants make the Sheraton a comfortable base in Udaipur.
