We spent 2 nights at Taj Fateh Prakash last week and came away bowled by the gorgeous decor, elegant ambience, stunningly beautiful views and exceptional art-work and heritage artefacts in every nook and corner! The entry to the hotel itself is SO charming...with the lake-facing entrance beautifully decorated ...added to which guests are being welcomed everytime you arrive, with a folk-musician playing the traditional Ravanhatha , the melodies of which just captures one's heart! Our room had a common lake-facing balcony and was very spacious, tastefully decorated, with beautiful fixtures and best quality of flooring, furniture and bathroom accessories. The view from the room/balcony was the icing on the cake - we could gaze at the gorgeous lake , see the beautiful houseboats and Lake Palace hotel, mountain tops etc accompanied by a stunning sunset skyline! The start to our stay was with the Heritage Walk conducted by our very knowledgeable and utterly helpful guide, Suresh ...who not only told us delightful facts about the miniature paintings and history behind each painting/artifact, the royal Darbar Hall & other rooms , but also recommended a genuine store selling beautiful miniature paintings etc ; plus assisted us in arranging a good Darshan at Eklingji & Naathdwara. His tour of the City Palace was also fantastic with so many interesting stories he narrated! Our historical/heritage walk was doubly enhanced thanks to such an experienced and warm person like Suresh! All the staff at Taj are very attentive & courteous; especially would recommend our room attendant and the restaurant staff who were always enquiring about our comfort & requirements & attending to them promptly. The food was awesome too with Breakfast which had enormous variety of Indian & Continental items...and dinner too had interesting not-so-typical-Indian dishes which we thoroughly enjoyed! The chef Rajeshji was very affable and voluntarily shared some recipes with me once I praised certain dishes. Another sweet gesture was when Taj kept for us a cake in our room and decorated our room with balloons, when they learnt it was our anniversary. A wonderful thing organised by the hotel is the Sandhya Arati (like the Ganga Arati ) and traditional folk singing & dance in the evening. The traditional dancers and singers were truly awesome; it was a fantastic performance ! I found Udaipur a very romantic city, and also a very clean city with plenty of places to visit, soaked in history & having interesting local food. Our stay was enhanced multifold because of the perfect stay at Taj amidst such gorgeous surroundings and in a place steeped with beauty , royalty and history. Thank you Taj Fatehprakash for making our stay memorable!
