I recently stayed at The Grand Fateh Hotel in Udaipur and booked the Imperial Suite for my visit. Upon arrival, I requested an early check-in and paid an additional 1000 INR for the convenience, as I reached four hours prior to the standard check-in time. The room was tidy, and all the amenities mentioned were available.
However, the lake view from the room was not as impressive as one might expect. The view was obstructed by electric poles and wires, drainage systems, and other distractions, making the lake appear farther than anticipated. Additionally, the surrounding area lacked nearby shops or restaurants, making it necessary to rely on the hotel's rooftop restaurant, "The Panoramic Palette."
Despite the somewhat cluttered lake view, the rooftop restaurant offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Fateh Sagar Lake and the surrounding mountains. While the food is on the pricier side, the quality and quantity justify the cost. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is delightful and adds to the dining experience.
The staff's general behavior was courteous and helpful. Traveling with my one-year-old son, I requested room service for food delivery, which is not typically offered, but they made an exception for me. This willingness to go the extra mile made my stay memorable and comfortable.
Conclusion: The Grand Fateh Hotel in Udaipur offers a pleasant stay with clean rooms and courteous staff. While the lake view from the room may not be as picturesque as expected, the rooftop restaurant compensates with its stunning panoramic views and high-quality food. The staff's exceptional service makes it a commendable choice for travelers.
