"Located on the shores of Lake Pichola...this pretty 350-year-old haveli has enough charm to have found its way into glossy books. ... Ambrai restaurant has a good reputation for its tandoori dishes." Full review

If you book suite no. 16, or 7, a corner unit with a large mattressed jarokha that juts over the water, you'll have lovely views of the City and Lake palaces.
