Shiv Niwas Palace Udaipur
- Lake Pichola, The City Palace Complex, 3, City Palace Rd, Jagdish Chowk, Rao Ji Ka Hata, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313004
Shiv Niwas Palace is a 36 room heritage hotel in the heart of Udaipur, part of the City Palace complex and a five minute walk from Lake Pichola, about 39 minutes (22.9 km) from Maharana Pratap Airport. Managed by the HRH Group alongside sister properties Taj Fateh Prakash Palace and Jagmandir Island Palace, it does not host full wedding ceremonies or receptions instead, it’s used for a single pre wedding lunch function and very commonly as guest accommodation for weddings centred at nearby Jagmandir Island.
ABOUT THE SHIV NIWAS PALACE UDAIPUR
A Lakefront Heritage
Shiv Niwas Palace occupies a genuinely privileged position inside Udaipur’s City Palace complex, and its role in a wedding is usually a supporting one rather than the main event. As part of the HRH Group, which also manages Fateh Prakash Palace and Jagmandir Island Palace, it functions as one of the accommodation options for a wedding held on Jagmandir Island itself, which has only seven suites of its own and needs sister properties to house the wider guest list.
Where Shiv Niwas can play a direct role in the celebration is a single pre-wedding lunch function, a family lunch, a smaller daytime gathering rather than a full ceremony or reception, and even then, it comes at a distinctly premium per-person rate. For a family planning a wedding centred at Jagmandir or Fateh Prakash, Shiv Niwas is worth knowing about specifically as a lakefront accommodation option with real heritage character, rather than as a venue to book the wedding itself.
