It looks like a fairytale. What an incredibly beautiful place.
Ya this is my country
That's one best part of any heritage hotels.
Ohhohh
Very very beautiful
Thank you for filming our favorite project so beautifully. Nimish & Myself his wife and partner in our firm Abhikram designed this hotel, totally based on Mewari Architecture and its elements, which we and our office studied in depth with full support of Mr P R S Oberoi. We have designed 120 arches based on the Mewari principles of design. Revived 21 dying crafts, which are now flourishing, employed 300 highly skilled Craftpersons for 3 yrs and a couple of thousand other local artisans and Labour for 2.5 years.
Amazing!!! I thought this was a historical palace. You outdid yourself!
Absolutely exquisite!!
Thank you for taking the time to post about the backstory of design and construction. It is heartwarming to learn that so many artisans and craftsmen were “brought back to life” through your patronage.
Definitely a jewel in the crown of India!
Great job
Parul, did you get the designs for the hotel from looking at the City Palace in Udaipur? Also, what was the massive arch in the lobby, near the entrance (framing the fountain in the center of the lobby) inspired by? I know that the Shiv Niwas Palace and the CIty Palace have fountains indoors, but I was wondering if you could perhaps shed more light on what designs you were inspired by, as far as the massive arches spanning the entire room, and the large fountains indoors? Thanks!

Billionaires and successful people are not people who never fail, but people who never quit. If you want to be a billionaire think like one and act like one because there’s no other greater joy than having financial freedom and a life free of debts, All thanks to Mr carlos cause he made me who I am today through binary options trade. with his accurate trading strategies i earn $12,550 weekly.

Udaipur is beautiful.

I was fortunate to stay at Udaivilas a decade back. No question (like all Oberoi properties) it is spectacular, if a little 'Disney' interpretation of India. For a fraction of the cost you can stay in an authentic Haveli's closer to Udaipur, with equally stunning lakeside views and more charm that feel more connected to the real India. For far more elegant luxuary, I would recommend staying 30 min from Udaipur at the magnificent Devi Garh, a walled palace converted into a spectacular hotel. Whilst you will not get a view of Lake Pichola, the rural views of the Aravalli hills are impossibly beautiful.
Don't compare with woke cartoon company
We are oldest civilizations with ancient architecture and this was a king's palace before converting into hotel
I have very fond memories of my stay here. It IS phenomenal. Hands down the best RESORT in India. There was not a spec of dust on any surface at the Udaivilas, and it is palatial. The Candle room is a great directional feature of the hotel as it is very easy to get turned around because of the massive size of the property. I had never stayed at a hotel where people were stationed outside the rooms in case guests wanted their pillows fluffed. I remember sunning at the pool, and everytime i got up to swim, my towel was changed or re-arranged on my chair before i returned. The service is unmatched (as is true with so many hotels in India.) The staff was superb, as were the very spacious rooms with generous (and private) outdoor spaces (the views from the pools (three in total)) and outdoor spaces are stunning. One thing I will always remember are the amazing toiletry items: the lotion had the best scent of any I had ever used! The lighting is breathtaking all over the property, and allows a remarkably different experience between day and night. The RAAS in Jodhpur and The Narendra Bhawan in Bikaner are two of my other personal favorites for unforgettable stays in India
So well described, indeed it is one of the most amazing hotel. You are most welcome 😊
What was the price?
👍
Staying at Oberois Udaivilas back in 2013 was just outstanding. One of the most premier hotels worldwide.
Fun fact, if you get up early enough you can find peacocks dancing near the outskirt gardens and it’s spectacular
Cute person in ur dp
Yaya
nice! thanks!
wow
How cute you are.. let's have fun and go once more time with me
Even on this channel, it is striking how generous the space for the guests and how opulent the interior is. Amazing.
For almost 20 years now, Oberoi Lombok has been my favorite hotel. The setting is exceptional, the infinity pool is breathtaking. All room categories offer great comfort. The very loyal staff offer a very high quality service but also with a lot of warmth.
*Udaipur is one of the most mesmerising cities in India*
I agree ☝️
@@luxurytravelexpert TRUE
True.🙏🙏🙏
Not one of the most mesmerizing. It is the Most mesmerizing city in India.
Touchwood - an udaupurite 😇
I can feel the Indian soul and spirit !!!
one of the best in the world ... rather than money and luxury , i think oberoi has offered an indian nostalgic experience to the guests ..its a living museum ..and i loved the food , the ambience and the arhitecture ... one thing i got inspired from this ,,is that we indians should adopt our traditional architectural styles and implement it in our modern buildings all across india ....
@Dark Note 👿 glass buildings are good when they are set in a downtown of a city
But otherwise usual commerical complexes should have a unique taste of india rather than cheap concrete structures or even acp facades which give india an altogether cheap and cliche look
Exactly! On the bulls eye!
British: standard matters
India: royalty matters
Hygiene nah
Just wiping for british matters
@@stratasphorte oh why "unhygienic" Britishers came here
@@stratasphorte ohhh seee who came here....the thief’s u must know u r living on our money
Do u think I spoke in the favor of British 🤨🤨
I'm an Indian and I wrote in favor of Indians only🤦♂️🤦♂️

Try to understand properly what I said 😑😑🙄
I'm an Indian and I said in favor of india only 😒
It's the opposite I meant what u thought
I didn’t know places like this existed 😳 thank you for your videos 🙏🏼
You’re welcome 😉
Purva P It’s a land full of wonders and adventure! I will go there
Just remember if Money Exists then everything Exists.
That mens you never visit incredible INDIA mr Christopher Edwin 😊
Truly a wonderful gift for a 50th wedding anniversary present from our son and daughter in law.I will never forget the Oberoi At Udaipur.It was just glorious in every way I could imagine.
I hope to visit again and stay there.🙏🕉❤️
One word sums up this property ... Serenity. As I viewed this presentation, I kept thinking that someone who has experienced a sentinel event would do well to rest and regroup here. I believe this property would shoulder their pain, revitalize them as best as it could, and give them the strength to carry on. Namaste. 🙏
Thank you ☺️
So I have actually stayed here and the experience of being here is one you can’t forget. The property is huge, the staff is so welcoming and ensures that you have the best stay. The food is amazing. As someone from Udaipur, you feel closer to your own heritage and culture here because it’s constructed that way. There is a stretch of walk area that was not in the Video on which one side is the lake and one side is a pond and it feels heavenly in the evening time. The rooms are great and the bathroom is oh my god. And the plantation in the whole property gives it a unique splash of colour that is unmatched and the numerous pools or fountains or water works are breathtaking. I literally cannot stop talking about this place. If you ever have a chance to visit this, you better grab that.
Thx for sharing your experience 👌
Endorse your point about the lakeside walk it’s great.udaipur and it’s lakeside is one of the best yet underrated travel destination.
Do they offer prostate massages ?
What I like the most from oberoi is their garden. It's beautiful.
Wonderful video like always.👍🏻
Stayed here in 2005 and not much has changed since. Will definitely go back to Udaivilas next time I go to India.
I long for Indian architecture. This is sooooooo regal
agree!
@Dave Chapelle need to expand your understanding about India mate 👍
Dave Chapelle Thats was mostly in the british era
@Dave Chapelle PLEASE READ MY REPLIES THIS IS A NEWLY BUILT RESORT. ALL WERE PAID WELL, THE IDEA WAS TO CREATE WORK FOR OUR TRADITIONAL CRAFTPEOPLE, AND ENSURE THAT THEIR KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM AND SKILLD EVOLVED OVER CENTURIES SURVIVE AND FLOURISH. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
@123 Var PLEASE READ MY REPLIES TO GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT.
This hotel is S T U N N I N G ❤️ Out of a fairytale. Would like to wake up to this.
With God you can. What do you think heaven is? The way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ Life and Teachings founf in The Holy Bible.
This place is amazing
Proud Of India
How nice of him to ask.. have you ever stayed at udaivillas.. where as I cant even afford to have lunch at this place. May be thats why we watch his videos... to see and experience places which we know we cant do in our own lives.
Keep doing the good work.. really appreciate your vlogging skills.. especially the background music.
The complex is built maximizing local traditional materials, art and crafts, like stone and lime, stucco plaster in lime and soft furnishings mostly made in Rajasthan. The entire hotel exterior gets painted in lime paint twice a year. All the Jalis and stone elements, pillars, lotus pond, the fishscale cascading surface at the infinity edge pool etc are handcrafted with minimum use of machine tools. All the rainwater is harvested and goes into the lake and after filtering to recharge the ground water, rest of the used water is recycled and used in landscaping.
We made ensured through the design to minimize cut and fill, and save 90-95% of tree cover. The rock that was cut was used up on the site. No such rock left the site. For every tree cut 10 new were planted.
Well these are just a few of the aspects I thought I should share with all of you. Thank you again for featuring The Oberoi UdaiVilas so well. Would like to connect with you. - Parul Zaveri for Abhikram, Ahmedabad, India
Just in case anyone thought your resort couldn't be any more amazing..... I hope I get to visit some day. :)
Thank you, once again, for taking the time to post such interesting facts about this celestial gem. It gives one a sense that you truly have a heart for your people and property!
Bless you for that!
As for this video, it is excellence unsurpassed! I thought for sure your corporation had sponsored it; I can certainly understand why you would like to get in touch with it’s creator. To think it is on CZcams “for free”--lucky you!
Awesome. Memories. I worked at Oberoi from 1968 to 1973.
How much does owner make?
That pool view is awesome...I would imagine that sunsets are equally beautiful
Udaivilas is a nice mixture of Indian culture and luxury resort in my opinion
The sound of the water is soooo soothing.
I was planning on coming to India this year....& Indeed to stay in Rajasthan, but sadly will need to wait.
This hotel looks lovely, so probably stay here & possibly the Taj Lake Palace as well.
I am sure the food is delicious...as Indian food is truly my favourite.
Very nice video.
It's such an unforgettable experience to be in Oberoi udaivilas .
Great hospitality,
Great experience,
Great architecture
I can surely and do take a pride to be an Indian and an esteemed pride in mentioning that Udaipur, Rajasthan मेरा ननिहाल है और यह जगह लेक पिछोला मेरे मामा साहब के घर से बस कुछ ही दूरी पर है। Truly appreciate your efforts of uploading this video. I feel blessed to watch this enigmatic location. I can keep watching these enigmatic locations over and over again.
Thank you once again for taking me away, to a beautiful place like this! With everything that’s going on in the world today, my heart is heavy at times....but when watching your adventures, it brings my heart much added peace that I need when you take me along with you!
Glad you like my clips

This is absolutely spectacular! Actually spectacular is an understatement...magnificent is more like it! Thank you for the amazing video and wishing you a great weekend!
What attention to detail everywhere you look. Truly majestic!
Thank you. It was a lifetime experience to design and see it through to its execution.
In Indian culture "luxury" is seen as a process, it is about patience and attention to detail. From the floors to the ceiling and to the arrangement of the flowers and cushions in the rooms. Everything individually taken care of and with taste. Your vlog shows exactly that. It is not simply another luxury hotel, it is an unforgetable experience. Well done....
Thx 🙏
👍
No one can question The Oberoi's luxury treatment but this one is above all due to its traditional artitechure its traditional and natural gardens and location history.
I love whole Rajasthan but places related to Maharana Pratap is just ...... ni words to explain. BTW I'm from Jharkhand
Best Luxurious Place to live in the world 🤩
I stayed at the Oberoi in Mumbay and it was exquisite
' Service to guest is like service to God ' this is what indians believe. Thank you for touring india & showing india is greater than what others think.thanks for the clip
Its service to guest not customer
'Atithi devo bhava' means guest is god.
I cannoot watch the videos of India, regardless of how luxurious the loca;s may that country is morally bereft
X-MISMA-X . Only according to you. Which place are you from? Let me guess Pakistan?
@@SnarkierThan-U-R We have millions of people who love to travel to india & indians who love to travel in their country inside.we don't depend on people like you .Ok if you arent interested better do not comment.your comments will not make any impact on our country.
Agree!
Truly a most magnificent resort !! When this mess is over I am there...love India....only been to New Delhi but the people and the food were sensational ...and don't give a rats bottom these days re the $$$ !!!
Did you liked new delhi??
As a indian , i can say that delhi is not even 1 percent good than other places in Rajasthan , Karnataka, Maharashtra , kerela , Himachal pradesh and ladakh , kashmir , Uttarakhand .
Delhi is like a trash , i know as i am indian
Delhi is wonderful but there r tonsof better places than delhi
Take me w you
Foreigners who visit India shouldnt take advice from foreigners who have visited already, instead talk to local indians they ll tell u where the real India is, New Delhi is such a cliche.
This is already in my bucket list. while watching this video (very beautifully created) I can see me and my family staying in this hotel for weeks.
I'd want to stay at the Oberoi Udaivilas for a week just to explore the palace and grounds! Absolutely gorgeous! Extra points for wine and chocolate amenities. So quiet and peaceful--love the sounds of the birds. Your videos are a work of art unto themselves, Dr. LTE!
Thank you ☺️
so this cameraman literally walked into the pool to shoot the view.....good job sir !
Wow...yes Undoubtedly no 1 hotel in India which shows our rich heritage with elegance of luxury
Which shows the rich people getting more rich and poor people die poverty... and you still proud
@123 Var ok .. and who use it now ? You or the poor people who die hungry ? Hhhhhh
@123 Var yah I see

I was many years ago I n the Oberoi in Egypt and was like a dream but this one is like Aladdin fairy tell, beautiful hotel to disconnect
Yeh Jawaani hai deewani was shooted here😍😍😍
This is not only masterpiece of beautiful resort anywhere in world but also show case of beauty, grandeur, luxury, look at our past history, creation of beauty to behold when hands are only tools and skills are only plans. This is the reflection of our past, created now to cherish by many generations to come. My friend from Germany always says you will see things in India you would never see anywhere. From architecture to decor to furniture to gardens and surrounding it is unsurpassed beauty to behold. Please sit back and you decide. Please thank artisans and craft people who created this marvel as a tribute to human skill and achievement at highest level. Very well presented by Luxury Travel Expert.

I live in Udaipur so I can verify that it is one of the most beautiful cities and you have to visit if you are coming to India
Loot and remit.
O really
@Khalid Rasul it would have been your city too, if a border wouldn't be drawn 70 years ago. 🙂
But you're most welcome!
@Khalid Rasul you are so welcomed bro,but i doubt the dispute is going to resolve in near future.
@Khalid Rasul whole Rajasthan State is Land of Rajputana...
Every city in Rajasthan is mind blowing....
You are Most Welcome...
And your parents are from which state ?
Your videography has done justice to the property's ambience and architectural motifs. A job well done.
I request you to cover ITC's Grand Bharat in Gurgaon in similar fashion, if you haven't already.
Once again a truly majestic property with such impeccable touches like the toiletries in the bathrooms, the linens, the pillows, bedding, the furniture and fixtures, the restaurants, the pools and gardens surround the hotel like a true palace for Indian royalty in the 16th and 17th century. The gymnasium here is a bonanza big and fully stocked, I do not remember now if you showed us the spa and/or an ample gift shop. The bar with all the needed liquors, tonics, mixers, wines, etc, etc. One week here and I would not be able to come back to earth to my middle class living in New Jersey, USA. Lol, Lol, Lol. Thanks again for taking us on this dreamy vacation that is part James Bond, Indiana Jones, Rita Hayworth and her husband the Ali Khan real royalty from that neck of the woods.
Indian resort are very different from other countries Indian resort are like palace other countries like tall buildings
19:25 this one is my favourite for sure
Such a beautiful place! I can appreciate their attention to detail, even through the video. The hotel reminded me a bit of a Rosewood property.
Lush green and building style is very different.
Gorgeous! Outstanding! Love! It!!! LTE...your work grows more and more seamless.... wonderfully shot, edited and produced. Congratulations on another fabulous piece! It felt like a dream...😃. Continued blessings on your fine work as they are a blessing to us!

Wav wat beatyful mewar architecture master piece ,, wat a grt video showing such beautiful hotel ,, 🔥🔥
Thanks a ton
The thumbnail was stunning.Cant wait to watch the vid.Thanks for keeping us entertained,even in this lockdown.
The Oberoi WildFlower Hall in upper Shimla is a gorgeous hotel too with its spectacular location in the Himalayas.
Great camera work, love your choice of music! Cheers!
Lovely place ❤️🌹🇸🇪🇺🇸
I like the Architecture and the view is just stunning .
That's the best parts of heritage hotels although this one is not .
This is marvellous no second thought.....my one sincere request for these hotel management is......insist on cleanlinesss of high standard in visiting places .....apply pressure to govt....to maintain spotless ...in the places tourist visit......people should feel comfort when they go to these places.....then more people wants to visit....
I started out in the tourism industry, this is so beautiful; like something made to TV or movies!! Thanks for the video, loved it!
Simplismente maravilhoso! Amei o sol☀️(escultura) na fonte!👏👏👏👏👏
We have sun temples in India please search and look it up, as we Hindus workship sun
Design, heritage has nothing to do with mughals its pure Indian
But Mughals were Indians. They ruled over india. Taj Mahal is Mughal architecture but it is Indian. Just like this hotel has Mughal architecture but it is Indian
@@chadxlr3978 If Mughals are Indians then so are the British colonisers
Mesmerizing expression of Indian architectural ingenuity gave this property an endless dimension! (Btw, the video is made unnecessarily too long which some viewers might find annoying.)
Dios. Proteja. Y. Bendiga. Esos. Lugares. Bellísimos..... Cbia... .
I am so thrilled to see your feature on the Udaivilas - we were there many moons ago, and experienced what you showed and made me know a bit more of the hotel itself! You are right, It will take days to see the whole thing, I did not see many even if I walked around much! Udaipur is very interesting, I would like to go back there again. Thank you for the trip back! (I loved the swimming pool shots!)
Your staff very friendly, and the room was beyond comfortable. Food is very very tastey and its look like rajputi architecture its almost from 7 years mu favorite resurent ...ever for ever ❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful parasols. I remember about a year ago also you uploaded a video from a hotel in India that there were lovely parasols there.
What a beautiful, colorful and serene complex.
I wouldn't mind being lost on this estate, well except for the animals:)
I wondered if you have ever used or considered using a 360 degree camera and, although I'll never need them ,whether most of the Luxury places and
planes offer excellent Vegan, plant based foods for those of us who prefer this life style.
Thank you for this harmonious video.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
I actually never considered a 360 degree camera ...
Spectacular hotel, and wonderful video, as usual. I do have one...not complaint... but disappointment. I appreciate that you show the menu in your videos, but I wish you would identify the individual dishes that you show, presumably the ones you actually ordered. I can't always relate the dishes to the listings on the menu, and I wish I could. (I have no problem with the Eggs Benedict, of course!)
Had the privilege of staying at udaivilas and words cannot describe the hospitality the experience was better than any place in the world money well spent
In this crazy world your videos are a breath of fresh air. Thank you. This place is definitely on my bucket list. When are the best times to visit?
Safe travels always!
November to February: dry, sunny and warm weather (not too hot)
@@luxurytravelexpert During monsoon, Udaipur is bliss. Truly does justice to its title, the venice of the east
The best time to visit Udaipur is from mid August to February as you can enjoy the fairy tale beauty of the city in monsoon in August & September.You can visit all the tourist attractions & soak in the culture & delicious cuisine in the festival season from October to December, & art and world music festival in month of January and February is something to remember.
Gorgeous seems like a Dream for the Rich and famous
I've seen a lot of your videos but this hotel has got to be in my top three. Stunning. One day fingers crossed! Great video as always.
Please make an elaborate video on Umaid bhawan palace.... I will be very greatful
