Kankarwa Haveli

This is one of Udaipur’s few hotels that are genuine old havelis (traditional, ornately decorated residences), as opposed to new buildings made to look like old havelis. It’s right by the lake, and the whitewashed and pastel-hued rooms, set around a courtyard, have a lovely simplicity with splashes of colour. Rooms vary in size and outlook, and there's a rooftop vegetarian restaurant.
