The Lake Palace Hotel

Our hotel was the summer palace of the royal family up until the mid-1960s. It sits in the middle of the Lake Pichola.



The courtyard



The hotel has a beautiful courtyard, with a lily pond, fountains and flowers. Every morning, you wake up to the sound of a local flute player in the courtyard.
