This year’s winner, the Leela Palace Udaipur, is one of Rajasthan’s most revered hotels. Perched on Lake Pichola with views of the Aravali Mountains, guests praised its superlative service and spa among the highlights. “The staff was exceptional,” said one reviewer, mentioning a welcome fit for royalty, complete with local musicians and a shower of rose petals. All 80 rooms in the lavish, Mughal-inspired building offer lake views, set within six acres adorned with palm trees and manicured gardens.
