- Railway: Udaipur City (UDZ) — confirm transfer with venue
- Transfers: UDR (Maharana Pratap) pickups and all inter-function movement across the estate coordinated by Elite
- Welcome desk: Welcome desk staffed on arrival day; rooming list delivered to the venue in advance
- Elderly guests: Rooms adjacent to main function spaces reserved first; jetty and boat assistance for elderly guests (request with venue)
- Room block: Smaller ~87-key inventory — book early; overflow at nearby palaces planned by Elite

Best fit
- ✓ Design-forward, prestige weddings on the banks of Lake Pichola
- ✓ Intimate-to-mid luxury celebrations (best ~150–300) with iconic palace drama
- ✓ Couples who want a globally recognised Oberoi name and service
- ✓ Lakefront ceremonies, marble courtyards and a private-boat arrival
- ✓ Lawn / garden functions with an indoor Chandra Mahal backup
Not ideal if
- – Very large baraats needing 600–1000+ in a single sitting (lawn caps apply — confirm)
- – Large resident room blocks — the ~87-key inventory fills fast
- – Tight budgets — this is among Udaipur's most premium palace addresses
Room blocks & partner rates
At ~87 keys, Udaivilas fills quickly — the room block determines whether the venue works for your count before anything else is planned. Elite structures the on-property allocation, lines up vetted nearby-palace overflow for overspill and confirms all block terms with The Oberoi Hotels before any commitment.
Questions to ask the venue
- What dates are available, and what block size can be held — both on-property and at nearby overflow palaces?
- What are the Oberoi Hotels block rate and terms for our specific dates and room mix?
- What are the real per-space capacities — especially the front lawn floating cap?
- Is a private-boat arrival across Lake Pichola available, and how is weather handled?
- What decibel limits, fireworks clearance and late-night permissions apply on the lakefront estate — and have any of these changed under current Rajasthan environmental guidelines?
- What is the trigger and lead time for switching a lakefront function to Chandra Mahal — and what does that changeover look like for guests already arriving?
- Can you walk us through how a 4-function wedding would use Front Lawn, Crescent Garden, Poolside and Chandra Mahal — and what the boat arrival changes in the sequence?
