National, September 2026: Raffles Udaipur has been awarded Two MICHELIN Keys for the second consecutive year, recognising its distinctive approach to luxury hospitality, personalised service, thoughtful design and exceptional guest experiences. Set across a 21-acre private Island on Udai Sagar Lake, the resort brings together the timeless elegance of Raffles with the natural beauty, cultural heritage and locally inspired experiences of Rajasthan.
The MICHELIN Key is the MICHELIN Guide’s distinction for exceptional hotels, recognising properties for their architecture and design, quality of service, personality and character, value for the experience and the overall experience they create for guests. It celebrates hotels that offer something distinctive, where every element, from the setting and service to the experiences and attention to detail, contributes to a memorable stay.
The journey at Raffles Udaipur begins at the Lakeshore, followed by a private boat crossing to the Island. The resort comprises 137 rooms and suites, with 101 on the Island and 36 at Lakeshore, complemented by the signature Raffles Butler service, which adds a personalised and anticipatory dimension to every stay. Across the resort, guests can eat, explore, connect and celebrate, with experiences shaped around the setting and individual interests.
The Island offers a range of leisure experiences, from sunrise yoga, meditation, birdwatching and nature walks to cycling, pottery, tennis, archery, Segway rides, high ropes and trampolining. A trek through the Aravalli Hills to the historic Mahadev Temple offers another way to experience the landscape and heritage, while the Island Temple adds a sense of history to the stay.
The culinary experience brings the destination to the table through a collection of distinctive venues. Sawai Kitchen celebrates Rajasthan’s royal recipes, while Raffles Patisserie offers French and European cuisine in a relaxed bistro setting. The Trellis Room presents regional and contemporary Indian cuisine, bringing together familiar flavours and contemporary interpretations. The Writers Bar pairs tea, champagne, classic cocktails and light bites with a literary atmosphere, while Long Bar brings Pan Asian flavours to the Island alongside the signature Udaipur Sling. Belvedere Bar offers beverages, high tea and small plates against panoramic views, while The Tea Room is dedicated to afternoon tea, artisanal teas and pastries. The Marble Hall further complements the offering with premium cocktails and light bites.
Celebrations form another important part of the Raffles Udaipur experience. The Great Park, English Garden, Parterre, Compass Garden, Ballroom and the Island Temple offer distinctive settings that can be transformed through considered décor and personalised event experiences. The resort recently hosted the multi-day wedding celebrations of Nupur Sanon and Stebin Ben, bringing together intimate ceremonies, elaborate décor, music and celebrations across its distinctive spaces.
Commenting on the recognition, Gurnoor Bindra, General Manager, Raffles Udaipur, said: “Receiving Two MICHELIN Keys for the second consecutive year is a moment of immense pride for Raffles Udaipur. To receive this recognition again is a strong affirmation of the thought, passion and consistency that our team brings to creating the Raffles Udaipur experience. It reflects our continued commitment to setting a high standard of hospitality while staying true to our sense of place, our service philosophy and the details that make every guest experience distinctive. To be recognised by the MICHELIN Guide once again is a remarkable milestone for us, and a wonderful affirmation of what we have built together over the years.”
With its second consecutive Two MICHELIN Keys recognition, Raffles Udaipur continues to offer a considered expression of luxury, where guests can eat, explore, connect and celebrate, surrounded by the beauty of its Island setting.
