Oberoi Udaivilas Udaipur, Rajasthan, India Though opulence abounds at this hotel in the City of Lakes, only the four Luxury Suites and the 2,650-square-foot Kohinoor Suite possess their own infinity pools. Other perks in these swanky accommodations: tented dining pavilions, views of the 16th-century City Palace and personal butlers (to prevent you from having to get out of the pool to mix your own drink, of course).![7_caterina_private_pools]()
