Lake Palace

Lake Palace (formerly known as Jag Niwas Palace) is a former summer palace of the royal dynasty of Mewar, now operated as a hotel. The Lake Palace is located on the island of Jag Niwas in Lake Pichola, Udaipur, India, and its natural foundation spans 4 acres (16,000 m2).

The Jag Niwas palace was constructed of white marble circa 1743–1746 by Maharana Jagat Singh II, the 62nd custodian of the House of Mewar. The palace, built to look like it is floating on the lake, was extensively used as a summer retreat for the Mewar royal family.

Currently, IHCL is managing the hotel and has done so for the last 50 years. The palace has attained global fame for its appearance and as a location for several hit movies.
