Taj Fateh Prakash Palace, Udaipur
- The City Palace Complex, Lake, City Palace Rd, near Zenana Mahal, Old City, Pichola, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313004
Taj Fateh Prakash Palace is a 65 room heritage hotel built by Maharana Fateh Singh, standing inside Udaipur’s historic City Palace Complex and still, to this day, a residence of the Mewar royal family. About 25-35 km from Maharana Pratap Airport, it offers five event spaces on the shores of Lake Pichola, from the crystal chandeliered Durbar Hall Sabhagaar to the open courtyards of Manek Chowk and Zenana Mahal, each able to hold several hundred guests.
ABOUT THE TAJ FATEH PRAKASH PALACE UDAIPUR
A Living Royal Residence on Lake Pichola
There’s a meaningful difference between a hotel built in a palace style and an actual palace that still functions as one. Taj Fateh Prakash Palace is the latter. It sits inside the City Palace Complex on the eastern shore of Lake Pichola and the Mewar royal family still calls it home which means every hall here carries the original decor rather than a themed reproduction: miniature paintings, vintage armoury, Mewari heirlooms, furniture pulled from actual toshakhanas (royal storerooms). Guests aren’t staying in something that evokes royal history, they’re staying inside it.
That authenticity extends to the views. From the terrace, guests look directly across the water at Jagmandir Island and Taj Lake Palace floating on Lake Pichola a sightline that comes from being genuinely positioned inside the historic complex rather than built to overlook it from a distance. For a family who wants the weight of real royal history behind their wedding, rather than a palace inspired aesthetic, this is about as close as Udaipur gets.
- 65 rooms and suites, each with views of Lake Pichola, Jagmandir Island or the palace gardens

Rooms & Suites at Taj Fateh Prakash Palace Udaipur
Taj Fateh Prakash Palace’s 65 rooms and suites span six categories – Palace Room, Deluxe Suite, Luxury Suite, Luxury Suite with Sit Out, Grand Luxury Suite and Royal Suite each finished with vintage decor rather than the more contemporary comfort layer seen at some of Udaipur’s newer hotels. Given the genuinely limited inventory of 65 keys, families often pair this property with a second Udaipur hotel for overflow accommodation on larger guest lists, using Fateh Prakash primarily for the ceremony and reception rather than full stay housing.

You Asked, We Answered
The largest single space, Manek Chowk, is reported to hold up to 1000 guests floating. Figures vary meaningfully across sources, some cite a property wide cap closer to 120-150 guests, so exact capacity should always be confirmed directly with the hotel for a specific date and layout.
Third-party planner estimates put a typical two day wedding at roughly ₹1.64-1.8 crore for food, lodging and basic amenities, though Taj does not publish a fixed wedding package price. Cost depends heavily on guest count, venue selection and season.
About 25-35 km from Maharana Pratap Airport, roughly 45-50 minutes by car depending on traffic.
65 rooms and suites across six categories, each offering views of Lake Pichola, Jagmandir Island or the palace gardens.
Yes, per the property's own official description, it remains a residence of the royal family to this day, which is part of what distinguishes it from Udaipur's other palace-styled hotels.
With only 65 rooms, larger weddings typically need a second Udaipur hotel for guest accommodation, using Fateh Prakash Palace primarily for the ceremony, reception or a signature function rather than the full multi day stay.
Sources disagree: some third-party listings state outside catering and vendors are permitted, while the property's typical package structure suggests décor and catering are usually arranged in-house. This should be confirmed directly with the hotel before including it in a client proposal.
