- By SUSHMITA SRIVASTAV

Sitting pretty on the banks of Lake Pichola, Trident, Udaipur is the perfect hideout you should check into this season for a memorable experience.

ONLY A FEW cities can get as romantic as Udaipur—especially during the monsoons. Situated in the northweste­rn state of Rajasthan, ‘The City of Lakes’ beautifull­y combines the romance of palatial mansions and ornate waterfront properties. On the banks of the shimmering Lake Pichola, sits one such hotel that captures the city’s innate heritage through its intrinsic design and well-appointed living spaces. The Trident, Udaipur is among the few hotels in the city that offer unobstruct­ed views of the iconic Jag Mandir palace and the surroundin­g Aravalli mountain range. A 10-minute drive from the city centre brings one to the palatial lobby of the five-star hotel, where 83 rooms and four suites embody the grandeur of the historic city and afford some of the best views. The hotel’s dining destinatio­ns translate the city’s regal heritage in its signature offerings.

While the all-day multi-cuisine restaurant, Aravalli offers gourmet spreads of Rajasthani, Asian, Western, and Indian cuisines; The Terrace serves global delicacies in an immaculate al fresco setting. Reserve the evenings for the hotel’s bar, Amrit Mahal, where live performanc­es set the stage for an engaging experience. Or, spend time around the outdoor swimming pool and order your favourite sundowners as the glittering skies and surroundin­g vistas cast a spell on you.

For those who like to sweat it out before calling it a day, a well-equipped fitness centre awaits guests for a productive workout session. Those travelling with kids can sit back and enjoy their leisure time as the exclusive Kids Club takes care of every need of the little guests. From offering facilities, such as a splash pool and a cricket field to hosting more engaging activities like movie sessions, treasure hunts, and baking and pottery lessons, the hotel makes sure the kids have an unforgetta­ble experience. The hotel also features exquisite banqueting spaces for special gatherings and functions.
