Raffles Udaipur bars named among India’s Top Hotel Bars 2026 by 30 Best Bars

UDAIPUR: Raffles Udaipur has added another accolade to its food and beverage portfolio, with its Long Bar and The Writers Bar recognised among India’s Top Hotel Bars 2026 by 30 Best Bars India.

The recognition highlights the resort’s drinks, hospitality and distinctive settings, while placing its two bars in the Best Hotel Bar category, which celebrates hotel venues that combine quality beverages, attentive service and a comfortable atmosphere.

The Writers Bar offers a more intimate setting, designed around conversations and leisurely afternoons that stretch into the evening. Its offering includes artisanal teas, classic cocktails and Champagne, alongside light bites.

Long Bar takes a more sociable approach, reflecting the heritage of the Raffles brand. Its beverage programme includes Indian spirits, single malts and local brews from Rajasthan, complemented by a selection of Pan Asian cuisine.

Among its signature offerings is the Udaipur Sling, a local interpretation of the classic Singapore Sling. The drink uses fresh produce from the region and homemade syrups to give the Raffles classic a distinctly Udaipur character.

Raffles Udaipur general manager Gurnoor Bindra said the recognition reflected the attention given to both the drinks and the overall guest experience.

“For us, the measure of a great bar goes beyond the drink in the glass. It is the quality of the craft, the rhythm of the room, the warmth of the welcome and the attention given to every detail,” Bindra said.

Set on a private island in the waters of Udai Sagar Lake, Raffles Udaipur combines its lakeside setting with a portfolio of restaurants, bars and curated experiences.

The latest recognition adds to the resort’s growing list of achievements across hospitality, food and beverage, with Long Bar and The Writers Bar offering contrasting experiences within its luxury resort portfolio.
