The Grand Fateh is a value-priced hotel on the Fateh Sagar side of Udaipur, about a minute on foot from the lake and very close to the Saheliyon-ki-Bari gardens. It offers six room types, from Standard, Deluxe and Executive doubles with mountain views to Royal, Deluxe and Presidential suites with lake views, an outdoor pool, an on-site restaurant and a free breakfast buffet. It is the cheapest kind of stay in this guide that still gives you a pool and a lake outlook, which makes it popular with families, small groups and travellers who plan to spend their days out and their evenings on the Fateh Sagar promenade. It is away from the old city, so expect to take a taxi or auto-rickshaw to the City Palace and Lake Pichola.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the Fatehsagar neighbourhood, about a one-minute walk from the lake edge, where the evening promenade, snack stalls and boat rides are the main attraction. Saheliyon-ki-Bari and Sukhadia Circle are a short drive, and the Maharana Pratap Memorial is about four minutes by road. Lake Pichola and the City Palace are around 4.
4 kilometres away, a short taxi ride that can slow down at busy times. The railway station is around a 19-minute drive and the airport about 42 minutes.Rooms and facilities: the six room types are the Standard, Deluxe and Executive doubles and the Royal, Deluxe and Presidential suites.
Each sleeps up to three with a queen bed and a large twin sofa bed, which suits families. The doubles have mountain views and the suites have lake views, and rooms include a safe, a shower, a hair dryer and a balcony. There is an outdoor pool open in the daytime, an on-site restaurant, a free breakfast buffet, free self-parking, free WiFi, laundry and dry-cleaning, a 24-hour front desk, an elevator and an electric-car charging station.
Who it suits
Families, groups of friends and budget-conscious couples who want comfortable, simple rooms and a lake outlook rather than a heritage atmosphere. The lake-view suites are the best value for anyone who wants to wake up to water. Travellers who want to walk to the old-city ghats and rooftop restaurants in the evening will find the location less convenient.Good to know: check-in starts at noon and check-out is at 10 am, so plan a late-morning bag drop if your flight or train is in the afternoon.
Pets are not allowed. If you want a lake view, book a suite rather than a double, and check the breakfast inclusion for your rate. Fateh Sagar is at its liveliest at sunset and on weekends, when the promenade can be crowded, and sunrise walks are quiet and cool. Book early for the winter season.
