Rajasthan has always been a favorite global tourist destination in India with it's historic forts and palaces, deserts, camel fairs and remnants of royalty. The Oberoi Udaivilas plays to that, offering private courtyards and garden walkways, rippling fountains, reflecting pools, private yoga, meditations and Pranayam sessions in a city steeped in the romance of the historical region of Mewar, the oldest living dynasty in the world.

In October this year readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine also voted the hotel among the top 10 in the world for the third consecutive year, confirming the property as a traveler favorite.
