Perched high above the desert capital of Jodhpur, Umaid Bhawan Palace is the last of the great palaces of India and one of the largest private residences in the world – set amidst 26 acres of lush gardens. Designed by renowned Edwardian architect Henry Lanchester, the palace is a blend of eastern and western architectural influences. Its majestic 105 – foot high cupola is influenced by the Renaissance, while the towers draw inspiration from Rajput tradition. The lavish interiors with gilt furniture and elegant artwork follow the Art Deco style, complemented by the exotic murals by the self-exiled Polish artist Stefan Norblin. In 1997, the palace was converted into a luxury hotel, and is now managed by TAJ. With this, the TAJ extends its grand luxury palace experience to the city of Jodhpur.

We were traveling through India for our honeymoon and stayed at the Umaid Bhawan Palace for 2 nights in the Royal Suite. The hotel is beautiful with lush gardens and elegant architecture. The room was spacious, even regal, with the most beautiful view of the gardens, outside pool and Jodhpur Fort. The food was exquisite both during breakfast and dinner and the staff was incredibly attentive, always trying to give us more food and suggesting local Indian delicacies. Usually breakfast is outside between the marble pillars with the view of the gardens and the Fort. We had a guided tour of the hotel, visiting the biggest (and most expensive!) suite of the hotel, the Maharani Suite. The guide, Sikander, has been working at the hotel for over 30 years, he was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about it. He took nice pictures and videos of us as well as the property to keep as memories. The whole hotel staff was extremely polite, polished and so friendly, specially the receptionist, Samvrit (I hope I am spelling it correctly), the previously mentioned Sikander, Rahul and the friendly staff member who’s name I don’t know who received us at the entry like proper maharajas! Thank you very much to all, for the experience, memories and very kind gifts!

This was one of the most memorable stays I’ve ever had at an hotel, the palace itself is majestic, you enter a different world the moment you enter its gates. The staff at the hotel made us feel like home, aaryan, Parbat, Rudresh ji and saddique bhaiya fed us the most amazing food and took amazing care of us. All together visiting the palace at Jodhpur is not just a stay but an experience.
