Set to open in 2020, Raffles Udaipur will be the first Raffles for India. Often referred to as the "Venice of the East" Udaipur is located in the western state of Rajasthan, famous for its rich cultural heritage, lakes, temples and palaces. Raffles Udaipur will be a truly palatial hotel, occupying its own private island in the middle of picturesque Udai Sagar Lake. With 101 luxurious suites, Raffles Udaipur will feature the famous Raffles Long Bar and Writers Bar, a 1,100m2 Raffles Spa, a rooftop restaurant, swimming pool and sprawling gardens. With spectacular vistas of the lake, hillside and neighboring 400-year-old temple, Raffles Udaipur will quickly become one of the most distinguished addresses in India.
