Accommodation & History: 

The history of Udai Bilas Palace dates from the mid-19th century, when Maharawal Udai Singh-II, a great patron of art and architecture, built a wing of bluish grey local stone "Pareva" overlooking the lake and the "Ek Thambia Mahal" featuring intricate sculptured pillars and panels, ornate balconies, ballustrades, bracked windows, arches and frieze of marble carvings, a veritable marvel of Rajput architecture.

The palace has 9 rooms, lavishly appointed, five double, one single and three suites. No two rooms are alike. All rooms and suites are spacious with modern comforts. The furnishings are mostly the 20^th century art-deco style, marble bathrooms with English fixtures. Meals are served either in the banquet hall which displays hunting trophies and crystal chandelliers or in the more intimate family dining room.

The other facilities include in-house laundry service, international telephone and fax facilities, doctor on call and conference facilities.
