About the Hotel

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.

Reviews for Umaid Bhawan Palace

Unique and unforgettable palace hotel!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 13 hours ago

We stayed with our 3 kids, in this unbelievable palace. What made the place more exceptional is the amazing, warm and lovely staff working there, that make each guest feel special and treat you like royalty. Mr. Sikandar gave us a wonderful history tour of the palace and the Maharani Suite. And a special thank you to Mr. Mr. Karan and Mr. Narender that are above and beyond in warmth and hospitality! Thank you!

A perfect experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

One of the most memorable experiences of our life. I went there with my wife and kids for a couple of nights. Everything was perfect, right from the welcome sparkling wine drinks to their warm hospitality to the sprawling gardens full of peacocks. The kids enjoyed their multiple pools, peacock feeding and feather hunting. The food was excellent as well. A special shout out for the restaurant staff Mr. Saddique, Mr. Karan and Mr. Narender as well as the chef Mr. Shobhit Mathur. Mr. Sikandar gave us a wonderful history tour of the palace and the Maharani Suite.

Best taj experience

Rudresh, chef shobhit, and bajar were great in recommending what to eat. Sikander did a great job of guiding us to what to do in the hotel. Shatabdi offered a really good massage.

A palace, not a hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

I have never written a review on TripAdvisor in my life — for any hotel. But this time I genuinely felt I had to, almost as a matter of justice. Our experience was simply incredible and truly unlike anything we’ve ever had before. This is not just a beautiful hotel — it is a stunning palace. From the moment we arrived, we felt like maharajas. Every space is breathtaking, full of history, elegance, and grandeur, yet still incredibly welcoming and comfortable. It’s the kind of place that makes the entire stay feel special and memorable. The food was also outstanding — refined, authentic, and consistently excellent throughout our stay. But the most impressive part of all was, without a doubt, the service. It was surreal. I have never been treated so well in my life. What made this experience truly exceptional were the people, each one contributing in a unique and memorable way. Malvika gave us the warmest welcome and provided the best check-in experience we’ve ever had. She carefully ensured that both our check-in and check-out were seamless and continuously made sure our entire stay ran perfectly. Aman and Aaryan took wonderful care of us during dinners and at the bar. Their attention, friendliness, and professionalism made every evening feel special and relaxed. Raj was always available on WhatsApp, helping us organize everything effortlessly. Her responsiveness and efficiency made planning activities completely stress-free. Ms. Bhom welcomed us every time we arrived with exceptional kindness. Being received at the car with such warmth and elegance set the tone for every return to the palace. Sikander was an incredible guide. Knowledgeable, thoughtful, and engaging, he made discovering the palace and its history truly memorable. Narender provided the best breakfast experience and outstanding morning service. Every day started perfectly thanks to his attentiveness and care. There are beautiful hotels. There are hotels with great service. But it’s very rare to find a place where everything comes together so perfectly. This is one of those rare places. A truly unforgettable experience — and one that completely redefines what a hotel stay can be. This is absolutely an experience I want to repeat many times. In fact, we are already planning to return next year. It’s the kind of place you don’t just visit once — you come back to it again and again. Thank you for an absolutely extraordinary stay. We will definitely be back.
