A MAJESTIC HERITAGE HOTEL & CAPTIVATING WEDDING ESTATE
Some luxury hotels are designed to accommodate weddings. Shiv Niwas Palace was built to host royalty. The crescent-shaped palace was constructed in the early 20th century during the reign of Maharana Fateh Singh and has been meticulously maintained for guests who seek the true essence of Mewar. Originally reserved exclusively for visiting dignitaries and guests of the House of Mewar, it today serves as a Grand Heritage Palace that perfectly combines the elegance of the last century with modern 21st-century amenities. Situated on the banks of Lake Pichola with spectacular views of the City Palace and Jag Mandir, Shiv Niwas Palace offers a royal and captivating experience for a destination wedding in Udaipur.
Three distinct event spaces—1 indoor and 2 outdoor—unfold across the property, accommodating everything from an intimate family gathering for 20 guests to a grand celebration for up to 600 guests on the Party Lawns. The Pool Deck, famous for its appearance in the Bond film Octopussy, provides a serene, candlelit setting for sundowners and cocktail evenings. For the main ceremony, the Terrace offers a panoramic view of the lake, creating a fairytale backdrop for pheras. Across 36 individually decorated rooms and suites—including the 1600 sq. ft. Imperial Suites—every guest experiences unparalleled splendour and spaciousness.

THE VENUEZ EXPERT INSIGHT
At The Venuez, Shiv Niwas Palace stands as a boutique powerhouse in our Udaipur portfolio. While its room count is intimate at 36, its impact is monumental. It is the only hotel in our portfolio that offers a "crescent-view" perspective of Lake Pichola, making it the most photogenic stay in the City Palace. The Pool Deck is a legendary venue that immediately elevates the prestige of any cocktail function. We recommend this for couples looking for an exclusive palace "buy-out" where the focus is on high-touch hospitality and historical authenticity. For larger guest lists, we often coordinate overflow rooms at the adjacent Fateh Prakash Palace, maintaining the royal experience across the complex.
