🏨 Boutique Heritage Hotel
🐾 ₹500/day Pet Charge (per pet)
📍 Old City Udaipur, Rajasthan
Petal of Mewar is a pet-friendly boutique hotel in the heart of Udaipur's Old City — one of the very few heritage-style properties in the Lake City that explicitly welcomes dogs. Set inside a beautifully illuminated multi-storey haveli-style building with ornate Rajasthani architecture, it offers travellers a rare combination: Mewar grandeur with your dog by your side. If you've ever wanted to explore the ghats, lanes, and palaces of Udaipur without leaving your pet behind at a boarding facility, this property deserves serious consideration. In a city where most heritage hotels either ignore the question or say no outright, Petal of Mewar's transparent pet charge and active listing on third-party platforms signal that dogs are a genuinely considered guest category here — not an afterthought.
✓ Verified by the Pet Friendly Places team
Petal of Mewar has been confirmed as a pet-accepting property. A pet charge of approximately ₹500 per day per pet applies. We recommend calling ahead on 090790 45689 to reconfirm current pet charges, which room types allow pets, and any breed or size restrictions before you book — especially during peak season when policies can tighten.
The Setting — Heritage Architecture in the Heart of Udaipur
The property sits on Kalaji Goraji D Road in Rao Ji Ka Hata, a historic pocket of Udaipur's Old City. The building itself is hard to miss — a tall, intricately carved haveli facade lit up in blue and gold at night, with multi-tiered balconies, arched windows, and traditional Rajput decorative elements across every floor. It's the kind of place that photographs beautifully and feels genuinely different from a standard hotel stay, the kind of architecture that reminds you why Udaipur is called the City of Lakes and not just the city of pleasant rooftop restaurants.
Udaipur's Old City is dense, atmospheric, and very walkable — the famous ghats on Lake Pichola, the City Palace, and the narrow bazaar lanes of Bada Bazar are all within close reach on foot. For a pet parent, that walkability is a double-edged thing: the same lanes that make the Old City so immersive are also busy, cobbled, and full of stimulation for a dog. Travelling with a dog here means working with the rhythm of the city — early morning walks through relatively quiet old-city lanes before the tourist crowds arrive are genuinely one of the better ways to experience Udaipur, and staying inside the Old City rather than on its outskirts puts you in the middle of that experience rather than commuting into it each day.
Pet Policy at Petal of Mewar
Petal of Mewar accepts pets at an additional charge of ₹500 per day per pet — a reasonable and clearly stated fee by Rajasthan boutique hotel standards, where pet charges at comparable properties can range from zero to well over ₹1,000 per night. The property is listed under the pet-friendly category on third-party travel platforms including MakeMyTrip, which means the policy is actively communicated to incoming guests and not simply a case of the front desk saying yes on a good day.
That said, as with most boutique heritage properties in India, the finer details — which rooms are designated pet-friendly, whether large breeds are accommodated, and whether there are weight limits — are best confirmed directly with the hotel before booking. The front desk can be reached at 090790 45689. Booking in advance and flagging that you're travelling with a dog is strongly advised, particularly on weekends and during the October–March peak travel season in Udaipur, when rooms fill quickly and flexibility on pet-specific arrangements tends to narrow. A direct call also gives you the opportunity to ask about parking if you're arriving by road — Old City lanes can be narrow for larger vehicles, and knowing the hotel's arrangements in advance saves a stressful arrival.
Staying Here With a Dog — What to Expect on the Ground
Udaipur's Old City is not a wide-open green-space destination — it's a dense urban heritage zone with narrow stone-paved streets, active ghats, and significant foot traffic through most of the day. That context matters when you're travelling with a dog. Managing a curious dog in a busy heritage bazaar requires a leash, patience, and ideally an early-morning or evening walk schedule that works around the busiest tourist hours. It's worth knowing this before you arrive with a large, excitable, or reactive dog expecting open spaces — this is a city-immersion stay, not a nature retreat.
The property's location inside Rao Ji Ka Hata, however, is also its strength. Being in the Old City means you're genuinely embedded in the destination, not staying on a highway-facing outskirt and commuting in. The lanes immediately around the hotel tend to be quieter than the main bazaar routes, which helps during morning and evening walks. For dogs that need more room to stretch — larger breeds especially — it's worth supplementing your stay with visits to open areas on the outskirts of Udaipur, reachable by a short auto-rickshaw or cab ride. Fateh Sagar Lake promenade and Sajjangarh Road both offer more open walking territory than the Old City lanes can provide, and neither is far.
What We Haven't Confirmed Yet
Several details about this property are worth confirming before you finalize your booking. We do not currently have confirmed information on whether pets are allowed inside guest rooms or restricted to common areas; whether there is a specific weight or breed restriction; whether the hotel has any dedicated outdoor or ground-floor space for pets; and whether in-room pet amenities such as beds or bowls are provided. These are all reasonable questions to raise when you call ahead, and the answers will significantly shape whether the property suits your specific dog and travel style.
The property website (mycityhotels.in) and the MakeMyTrip listing are useful secondary references for room rates and general information, but a direct call to 090790 45689 remains the most reliable way to get current, specific answers on the pet policy. Properties in this category often update their policies seasonally, and what's listed online can lag behind what's actually being enforced at reception.
Getting There
The hotel is located at 1, Kalaji Goraji D Rd, Old City, Rao Ji Ka Hata, Udaipur, Rajasthan 313001. Udaipur is well connected by air via Maharana Pratap Airport, approximately 25 km from the Old City, and by rail via Udaipur City Railway Station, approximately 3 km away. If you're driving from Jaipur, the journey is roughly 4.5–5 hours via NH48. From Ahmedabad, it's approximately 3–3.5 hours, making Udaipur a realistic long-weekend road trip destination from either city. Old City lanes are narrow and can be challenging for larger vehicles — confirm parking arrangements with the hotel well before arrival, particularly if you're travelling with a car loaded with road-trip gear and a dog in tow.
