About Pool Side Lawn
The Space & Its Setting
The Pool Side Lawn at Mementos by ITC Hotels Ekaaya is an open-air event lawn set within the serene landscape of Eklingji, a storied temple town in the Udaipur district of Rajasthan. Framed by the natural beauty of the Aravalli hills and positioned alongside the property's pool, the lawn offers an atmosphere that blends the grandeur of Rajasthan's heritage landscape with the understated elegance that defines the Mementos by ITC Hotels collection. The open sky overhead and the surrounding greenery create a setting that is both expansive and intimate — a rare combination for outdoor events in this part of India. Whether bathed in afternoon light or lit by evening lanterns, the lawn takes on a distinct character at every hour, making it a compelling canvas for event planners who want more than a conventional banquet hall.
Events & Occasions
The Pool Side Lawn is well suited to a wide range of occasions, from wedding ceremonies and sangeet celebrations to cocktail evenings, corporate sundowners, and private social gatherings. Its outdoor format is particularly appealing for destination weddings, as Eklingji sits close to Udaipur — one of Rajasthan's most sought-after wedding destinations — giving guests the experience of a secluded, heritage-tinged retreat without sacrificing connectivity to the city. The natural setting also lends itself beautifully to mehendi functions and pre-wedding festivities, where open-air décor and natural light are central to the aesthetic. For corporate groups, the lawn provides an informal yet refined backdrop for networking events, team outings, and product launches that benefit from a change of scenery from conventional conference rooms. The hotel's events team works with organisers to configure the space for different seating arrangements and formats, so the lawn adapts to both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.
Location & The Mementos Experience
Mementos by ITC Hotels Ekaaya is located in Eklingji, approximately 22 kilometres from Udaipur city centre, placing it in a quieter, more contemplative setting than the lakeside hotels that crowd the city. The Eklingji temple complex — a celebrated cluster of Shaivite shrines dating back to the eighth century — is essentially on the doorstep of the property, giving guests a culturally immersive context that few urban venues can match. Udaipur's Maharana Pratap Airport is the nearest airport, making the property accessible for guests flying in from major Indian cities. The surrounding landscape of the Aravalli hills gives the Pool Side Lawn a natural visual backdrop that no amount of décor can replicate, and that backdrop shifts with the seasons — lush during the monsoon months and warm-toned in winter, which is Rajasthan's peak event season. For planners seeking a venue where the environment itself becomes part of the event story, the Pool Side Lawn at Mementos by ITC Hotels Ekaaya is a distinctive choice in the Udaipur region.
