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
Quiet luxury in beautiful Jodhpur
Fantastic experience on my stay for a work event - it is a serene and beautiful environment and the service is amazing! I have to particularly highlight Sikander Singh who went out of his way to make sure I had all I needed, guided me around both on arrival and during the stay - Thankyou! Rooms at the hotel are luxurious and very comfortable, and the surroundings and gardens make for an awesome venue for an exec event or personal stay.

Fantastic experience
Fantastic experience at the Umaid. The rooms were wonderful, spacious and very comfortable - and the palace grounds and gardens were sublime. But the best of all was the service from all the staff and especially Sikander, the butler, who has been working there for over 30 years. He gave us an excellent guided tour and looked after us impeccably. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Umaid Bhawan Palace Stay
Amazing experience at Umaid Bhawan - the palace itself is incredible but the experience was made complete thanks to the team. Saddique and Sikander made my stay especially comfortable and consistently went out of their way to go above and beyond in assisting me where possible. The room was 10/10 and enjoying breakfast with a view of Mehrangarh Fort was brilliant. Highly recommend visiting!

The most regal experience
We had a royal welcome in this beautiful grand palace, the hospitality and attention to detail were beyond a hôtel duty. All the staff, made us live my sisters birthday as a real exceptional event. Our butler Sikander had such care and organised amazing expériences for us. Thank you all for making us live a moment of historical magic. And …… The food! The chefs and staff of Pillars added to the delicious food experience. Definetely will come back very soon with my daughters 👍🏻
