Khas Mahal by Fateh Collection is a quiet, hill-side hotel on Sisarma Road, in the hills outside central Udaipur, aimed at travellers who want space and silence more than a lake-front address. Its rooms are large by Udaipur standards, with balcony suites of about 500 square feet and studios of about 650 square feet looking over the hills, and it has an outdoor pool, room service and a 24-hour front desk. The trade-off is distance: it is roughly 12 minutes by road from Lake Pichola and around 20 minutes from the City Palace, so you will be driving, or hiring a car, for every outing. It suits couples, honeymooners and small groups who prefer a retreat feel and plan to spend part of the stay by the pool, and it is a sensible choice before or after a trip to Kumbhalgarh or Ranakpur.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on Sisarma Road at Bujara, in the foothill area west of the city. By road it is about 12 minutes to Lake Pichola, 15 minutes to Lake Fateh Sagar, 18 minutes to Gangaur Ghat and roughly 20 minutes to the City Palace. The Vintage Collection of Classic Cars is about 24 minutes away, the railway station about 27 minutes and the airport around an hour. Taxis and ride apps work, but plan return trips, especially after dark, and ask the hotel about transfers.
Rooms and facilities
The room types are the Suite with a balcony and hill view, with one king bed and space for a third guest, and the Superior Studio with a balcony and mountain view. Rooms have air conditioning, ceiling fans, a large television, a tea and coffee maker and sound-insulated walls. The hotel has an outdoor pool open from mid-morning to early evening, free self-parking, free WiFi, an elevator, a concierge, luggage storage, room service and daily housekeeping.
English breakfast is available for a surcharge, so check what your rate includes.Who it suits: couples and honeymooners who want a quiet retreat, and families or friends who value a big room and a pool over a walk to the ghats. Because restaurants in the area are a short drive away, many guests eat at the hotel on at least one night. It is less suitable for travellers who want to wander the old city on foot in the evening or who rely on public transport.
Good to know
Check-in is from 2 pm and check-out is at 11 am. The pool hours are in daylight, so a morning or afternoon swim fits best. Mornings in the hills are cool and clear in winter, and the monsoon months from July to September turn the surrounding hills green, which many guests find the most beautiful time. Book ahead for the wedding season and Diwali, and ask about airport pick-ups when you reserve.
