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.

Beyond Luxury: A birthday Celebration We will Cherish Forever

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

Our recent stay at Umaid Bhawan Palace for my birthday celebration was nothing short of magical. While the grandeur of the palace is world-renowned, what truly made this experience unforgettable was the incredible team behind it. Every member of the staff contributed in their own unique way to make us feel like royalty, and we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude. A very special mention goes to Mr. Swaroop Singh Ji, who personally oversaw and coordinated the entire birthday celebration from start to finish. The scale and complexity of the event required meticulous planning, creativity, and flawless execution, all of which he delivered effortlessly. He brought forward unique ideas from his vast experience and transformed our vision into reality. His professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to orchestrate every aspect of the celebration were truly remarkable. It is easy to understand why he has successfully handled celebrations for some of the most distinguished personalities in the country. We are deeply grateful for his leadership and commitment to excellence. A heartfelt thank you goes to Mr. Shobhit Mathur and his entire culinary team. The amount of effort invested in planning the birthday dinner was extraordinary. Multiple menu discussions and revisions took place before arriving at the final selection, and every detail was carefully considered. What truly touched us was the team's attention to personal preferences. During dinner the day before the celebration, my husband casually mentioned that green pistachios are my favorite. Mr. Mathur not only remembered that conversation but thoughtfully incorporated a customized green pistachio-based dish into the main birthday dinner. Such attention to detail is rare and reflects genuine dedication to creating memorable guest experiences. A very special acknowledgment must be given to Mr. Liladhar for the photography and videography of this once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Capturing such an important milestone requires not only technical expertise but also the ability to make guests feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. Mr. Liladhar was exceptionally professional, patient, and courteous. He transformed the photoshoot into an enjoyable experience and beautifully documented every special moment of the celebration. His talent and dedication were evident in every interaction, and we are grateful to have entrusted these precious memories to him. We would also like to thank Mr. Siddiqui, whose hospitality throughout our stay was exceptional. From the very beginning, he understood our food preferences, dietary requirements, and portion expectations with remarkable accuracy. His recommendations were always thoughtful and perfectly suited to our tastes. He coordinated seamlessly with the culinary team and ensured that every dining experience was personalized. What impressed us most was the genuine warmth, respect, and care with which he treated us throughout our stay. We would also like to recognize Mr. Chain Singh Ji. Although his role is at the entrance, his contribution to our overall experience was immense. Every arrival and departure was met with the same enthusiasm, warmth, and readiness to assist. Whether it was welcoming us back, helping with luggage, or simply ensuring that everything was in place, he consistently demonstrated outstanding service and professionalism. His presence added a personal touch to every interaction. Our sincere appreciation goes to the housekeeping team as well. The room was maintained impeccably throughout our stay. Every detail was attended to promptly and efficiently, allowing us to focus entirely on enjoying our celebration. Their dedication behind the scenes played an important role in ensuring a comfortable and luxurious experience. We would also like to thank Mr. Manohar, Mr. Umaid, and Mr. Sikandar Singh, who consistently ensured that our stay remained comfortable and seamless. Their willingness to assist, attention to guest needs, and courteous nature were greatly appreciated and contributed significantly to the overall experience. This birthday celebration was envisioned and lovingly planned by my husband, who put tremendous thought and effort into every detail—from the customized letters and menus to the Maharani-themed royal setup, carriage ride, videography, photography, and grand royal entry. However, none of it would have been possible without the unwavering support, coordination, and commitment of the Umaid Bhawan Palace team. Every member of the staff contributed to making me feel like a Maharani for the day. Their dedication, warmth, and genuine care transformed a special occasion into a truly unforgettable memory. We leave with immense gratitude and some of the most cherished memories of our lives. Thank you to the entire team for delivering hospitality at its absolute finest.

Birthday Weekend at Umaid Bhawan Palace

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

We spent a weekend at Umaid Bhawan Palace to celebrate my wife's birthday, along with our 4-year-old daughter. We arrived expecting a special experience—after all, it is Umaid Bhawan. Yet somehow, the stay still managed to exceed every expectation. The team went above and beyond to make the celebration unforgettable. The room decorations were beautiful, and Pushpendra and Bhupendra organized a wonderful surprise Rajasthani-style cake-cutting ceremony that added a thoughtful local touch to the occasion. One of the things that stood out most was the attention given to our daughter throughout the stay. Harsh and Rajnandini spent a great deal of time ensuring she was constantly engaged and excited, whether it was kite flying, treasure hunting, cookie making, or mocktail making. Watching her have the time of her life allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience even more. The palace tour was one of the highlights of our visit—thank you, Sikander. Walking through the corridors while learning about the palace's history, architecture, and royal heritage brought the property to life in a way that few hotel experiences can. The culinary experience was exceptional throughout. We had wonderful experiences at the restaurants and during the mocktail-making session thanks to the warm hospitality and attentive service from Aman, Rudraksh, Naval, Narendra and Chef Shobhit. Breakfast deserves its own paragraph. It was quite possibly one of the most spectacular breakfast experiences of our lives. An extraordinary spread of delicacies overlooking the palace grounds, peacocks wandering across the lawns, a flute playing softly in the background, and Mehrangarh Fort visible in the distance—it felt like stepping into another era. The evenings were equally magical. The perfectly manicured royal gardens, combined with the golden glow of the setting sun on the sandstone façade, created a truly breathtaking setting. Inside, every corridor is filled with photographs, paintings, and historical artifacts that reward curiosity and make simply wandering through the palace an experience in itself. A special mention as well to Jakhan, Mohan Singh, and Chandra Shekhar, who ensured our room was always immaculate, and to Chain Singh, whose warmth and friendliness never went unnoticed. What makes Umaid Bhawan truly special is that it is far more than a magnificent palace. It is the people who bring it to life. We arrived expecting a luxury hotel stay. We left with memories that will last a lifetime. For anyone looking for a truly royal getaway, we cannot recommend Umaid Bhawan Palace highly enough, and we look forward to returning someday.
