乌代浦尔，湖泊之城，碧波清影；阿拉瓦利山守卫前后。1568年，辛格大君二世指点江山，开辟出这座“东方威尼斯”。上下1400年的梅瓦尔王朝，她以首都之姿骄傲四个世纪，如今，她亦成为无数诗人、画家和旅者梦中的圣地。泰姬湖宫殿酒店依偎在此，这座汉白玉雕琢而成的空中楼阁通体透白，两百多年来漂浮在宁静祥和的皮丘拉湖之上，如一朵穿越时空的“水中莲”，亦真亦幻。

传说，辛格二世的父亲不许他在邻近的岛屿宫殿Jag Mandir与自己的女眷们月下野餐，耿耿于怀的辛格二世一继承王位，即下令在皮丘拉湖中央兴建自己的行宫，这一念，定天下——1754年后的200年间，每逢溽暑，梅瓦尔王室便呼朋引伴到这座宫殿遁世避暑，直至20世纪60年代，这座原名尼瓦斯的精致汉白玉宫殿成为这个国度第一座改为酒店的王室宫殿，并更名为乌代浦尔泰姬湖宫殿酒店，成为这位艺术爱好大家辛格二世永世不朽的丰功伟绩。
将这座奢华的古代宫殿托付给泰姬酒店集团，是其皇室风范得以延续血脉并完美呈现的最佳选择。时至今日，泰姬湖宫殿酒店殷勤款待过的国内外知名人士数不胜数，并继续凭借盈盈一水间的清丽，引四面八方的旅者接踵而至。备受乌代浦尔的娇媚及历史浸濡，这座传奇宫殿魔法般的魅力不绝，成为印度建筑永不磨灭的印记之一。

Built in 1754 by Maharana Jagat Singh II， a great patron of the arts， the Lake Palace Udaipur （originally named Jag Niwas）， is his most notable achievement.
Maharana Jagat Singh II， it is said， took umbrage against his father’ s refusal to allow him to have moonlit picnics with the ladies of his Zenama （women’ s quarters） on the neighbouring island palace， Jag Mandir. As soon as he ascended the throne， the Maharana commissioned the construction of the Lake Palace， a great patron of art， which remained the summer residence of the rulers of Mewar for 200 years. It was only in the 1960s when it became the frst palace in the country to be converted into a hotel.
With its legacy of hospitality， Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces was the perfect choice to carry on the royal tradition of the luxurious Lake Palace， Udaipur. Since then， the hotel has been playing host to a veritable list of international and national celebrities and personalities and atracting leisure travellers from across the world. Nestled amidst the enchanting and historical city of Udaipur， the magical allure of this magnifcent palace continues to be recognized as one of the most enduring symbols of Indian architecture.
改头换面，不离旧人
Transformation and Refurbishment
将这座宫殿改造为一间举世无双的奢华酒店涉及范围宏大而庞杂，除了63间客房、18套套房、两间餐厅，以及酒吧、阅览室、各色庭院、干高尔船、皇家SPA等一众硬件设施以外，更须融入个性化管家、高端餐饮、经典老式汽车接送和历史介绍等传奇的酒店服务文化。
精工细作的室内设计保留旧时的辉煌，力求每间客套房彼此设计不雷同，每间各自复现某一时期并蕴含某种情绪。华丽的丝绸、斑斓的壁画、精雕细刻的木质家具围裹出异域的莫测神秘。从奢华湖景房的私人露台望出去，皮丘拉湖清粼粼的湖水绽开蓝绿色笑靥，近邻Jag Mandir岛屿宫殿友好问安，阿拉瓦利山张开宽厚的臂膀。将自己扔进舒适躺椅及传统地板座椅里，晒晒太阳，赏赏风景，如帝王，君临天下般，心安于这一片太平盛世。
皇家套房氛围时尚，空间明亮通风，内饰优雅，宁静的水面泛动丝丝涟漪。孔雀开屏映七彩——马尤尔马哈（孔雀王宫）套房以此为灵感，在显赫皇族氛围烘托下，打造丰富内饰：孔雀图案明艳动人；彩色玻璃板擒住阳光，奏一首七色交响乐。1880年，Maharana Sajjan Singhji建成萨然尼瓦斯套房，复现旧世界的醉人魅力，传统布扇、门上镶嵌的精细镜面作品、玻璃马赛克无不引得一番番驻足。盛满浪漫的套房卧室壁画中，印度神祗克里希纳栩栩如生。套房外，萨简露台吻着近水远山，如田园牧歌，一曲多情。
Te transformation at the Taj Lake Palace encompasses the restoration of 63 luxurious guestrooms， 18 magnifcent suites， two restaurants， the bar， the reading room， various courtyards， performance enclosures and the Gangaur Boat； and modern luxurious additions like the luxurious Royal Spa， personalized butler service， fne dining options， airport transfers in vintage cars， exciting and historical sightseeing options， amongst others.
With its tastefully refurbished interiors preserving the glorious heritage of the past， each room and suite is distinct in design， capturing a diferent mood and period. Opulent silks， richly coloured murals， and ornately carved wood furniture are just a few of the design details that envelope guests in an exotic mystique. Te private terrace of the Luxury Lake Facing Rooms look out onto the turquoise waters of Lake Pichola and the neighbouring island palace of Jag Mandir， with the Aravalli Hills in the background. Here， comfortable recliners and traditional foor seating invite guests to soak in regal splendour.
Te Grand Royal Suite has a stylish ambience of its own， with bright， airy spaces， elegant interiors and a tranquil view of the waters. Inspired by the vivid colours of the peacock， the Mayur Mahal（Peacock Palace） Suite ofers a regal ambience with its rich interiors embellished with peacock motifs and coloured glass panels capturing the sunlight to play out a symphony of hues. Built around 1880 by Maharana Sajjan Singhji， the Sajjan Niwas Suite retains an old-world charm with traditional cloth fans， intricate mirror-work on the doors and fne glass mosaic inlay. Decorated with frescoes depicting the Hindu deity Krishna， the bedroom of this suite is sufused with romance. Te suite opens onto the Sajjan Terrace， overlooking the lake and the mountains beyond， ofering an idyllic seting for intimate dinners and private parties.

The Guest in the Palace
如今，这座昔日乐宫举世无双。它捕捉了逝去的年代，再现皇家印度的歌舞升平。老式汽车在乌代浦尔市穿街过巷，乘坐小船或骆驼抵达宫殿，身着拉贾斯坦服饰的管家手持雨伞，夹道迎接，好不浪漫惬意的居停体验之始！
进入宫殿拱形门廊，时空霎时逆转。宽敞明亮的大厅浇来阵阵“花瓣雨”。尖形拱门及图案走廊指示宾客穿梭于酒店各处。酒店中央的莲花池庭院有着与皮丘拉湖一样的深邃与奥秘。平静无澜的绿洲，仿佛沉睡在童话之中。管家头戴羽饰，举手投足间透射着优雅的符号，诠释出皇家生活的高贵不俗。他们博闻强识，身兼数职，至诚至性，让宾客品味真正个性化的服务。
食为天，乌代浦尔泰姬湖宫殿酒店深谙此道。装饰似皇家宴会厅的Neel Kamal餐厅紧傍莲花池，不吝于秀炫拉贾斯坦美食及其他印度风味。若是“觊觎”世界各地的美食“佳丽”，Jharokha休闲全日餐厅正中下怀，从汉白玉雕琢的扇形拱门迈进来，湖水与城市宫殿在身后凝成一幅意韵悠悠的水墨画。时尚的Amrit Sagar酒吧古时曾是王后们的私人观舞厅，如今，特色饮品乌代浦尔马提尼的香味儿，仿佛在昔时的掌声雷动中缭绕。此外，莲花池畔或泛舟湖上，宾客同样也可以美食作伴！如此别具一格的用餐体验，令人难以忘怀。
环绕拉贾斯坦邦最美城市乌代浦尔的壮丽山谷会有多少不为人知的秘密？答案在酒店安排的短途游历中揭晓。沙漠面积巨大的拉贾斯坦邦野生动植物数量惊人，宫殿酒店的宾客可以如古时皇族一样在不远处的阿拉瓦利山狩猎、骑马、徒步，皇家狩猎小屋或贡伯加尔堡野生动物徒步体验引领喜好探险的宾客一窥究竟。
Today， this former pleasure palace is a luxury hotel like no other in the world. Staying at the Taj Lake Palace is the ultimate privilege， afording the pleasures of a bygone era of princely India. Taking a vintage car drive into the city of Udaipur and arriving at the palace either by boat or by camel， fanked by umbrellacarrying butlers in traditional Rajasthani atire， starts a romantic stay at India’ s quintessential palace hotel.
At the Taj Lake Palace， guests are transported to another place and time as they enter the arched portals of the palace and are greeted with a shower of petals in the bright， spacious lobby. Cusped archways and paterned corridors lead guests through the magnifcent interiors of the Taj Lake Palace. Like an oasis of tranquility a fairytale seting， the Lily Pond Courtyard recreates the mystique of Lake Pichola in the heart of the palace. Carrying forth the lifestyle of royalty are the Palace Butlers ofering a distinct and intuitive service with grace and panache. Weaving a vast majority of guest experiences into their own wealth of knowledge， the Palace Butlers wear many hats， culminating in a truly personalized service.
For an eclectic dining experience， guests can savor a delectable selection of local ’Rajasthani’ fare and other Indian favourites at Neel Kamal， a fne dining restaurant bearing a décor reminiscent of royal banquet halls， overlooking the Lily Pond. Sample a vibrant array of dishes from around the world at Jharokha， the informal all-day dining restaurant
framing splendid views of the lake and the City Palace with its scalloped arches. Indulge in a fne selection of vintage wines， special martinis， spirits， cigars and sheeshas at the stylish Amrit Sagar Bar（Sea of Nectar）， which was once the private audience hall of the Maharana. Te Taj Lake Palace also ofers its guests other romantic dining experiences， including a dinner aboard a Pontoon on the lake by the Lily Pond. For those wishing to experience some of the surprisingly abundant wildlife of this desert state， Jeep safaris， horse riding， trekking， and wildlife trekking experiences at the royal hunting lodge or Kumbalgarh Fort can be arranged as well as tours into the magnifcent mountains that surround Rajasthan’ s most picturesque city.

船行湖中，涟漪花开，遥遥漂浮的，是真实的泰姬湖宫殿酒店；她诗化的眉眼，看尽古往今来；她翩若惊鸿，博取无数红颜笑；她如一朵水中莲，在烟尘中，独自安好。
In a Palace where you arrive not by car （not even a vintage！） but by boat， can anything be normal or usual？ Te Taj Lake Palace amazes and delights one at every turn.
