Scene
Large, upscale resort with gorgeous views -- popular with couples, families, and Indian wedding parties
The Ananta Udaipur is an upscale property with quiet, rural surroundings against the backdrop of Rajasthan state's rugged Aravalli Mountain Range. The rooms and facilities are spread across a huge expanse of tropical foliage, grass, and semi-arid desert soil, across multiple structures with stone facades and terra-cotta tile roofs. Because the property is huge, some guests are left with no other option but to call and wait for internal shuttles to take them from point A to point B, which is among the chief complaints of past guests. Most visitors are couples or families looking for a quiet alternative away from the center of Udaipur, and the hotel makes for an excellent wedding venue, with lots of outdoor event space for romantic ceremonies.
