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.

My stay at the Umaid Bhawan palace was truly a one of a kind experience. The palace architecture and interiors were truly magnificent and luxurious, providing a serene atmosphere. My favourite part of my stay was the breakfast experience, which was unlike any other i’ve had at any hotel so far. The tables were set outside with a serene view, along with live flute music and there were peacocks all around playing in the garden, making the experience highly memorable. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, which was truly one of the highlights of my stay. Had a wonderful time interacting with each one of them, especially during the private tour of the palace, learning the story behind each corner there. Overall, it was a lovely experience!

Exceptional Hospitality and a Memorable Stay We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful palace hotel, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The property itself is stunning, but what made our experience special was the warmth and hospitality of the people who work here. From the moment we arrived, everyone made us feel welcome and comfortable. The staff was always friendly, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had a great experience. A special thank you to Rajnandini and the front desk team for their incredible support when my wife was unwell. They showed genuine care and concern, and their help during that time meant a lot to us. It was reassuring to know that we were being looked after so well. We are also grateful to Sikandar Ji for sharing interesting stories and insights about the palace. His knowledge and passion added a unique touch to our stay and helped us appreciate the rich history of the property even more. A heartfelt thank you to Swaroop Singh for making our birthday celebration so special. Everything was arranged beautifully, and the effort put into making the occasion memorable was truly appreciated. Thank you as well to Aryan, who was always attentive during breakfast and made sure everything was taken care of with a smile. We would also like to acknowledge Chain Singh Ji from the security team. His professionalism, courteous nature, and warm greetings every day reflected the genuine hospitality of the hotel and left a lasting impression on us. While the palace is magnificent and offers a perfect blend of heritage and luxury, it is the people who truly make this place exceptional. Every member of the team contributed to making our stay comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable. Thank you once again to Rajnandini, Sikandar Ji, Swaroop Singh, Aryan, Chain Singh Ji, the front desk team, the security team, and everyone else at the hotel for your outstanding hospitality. We leave with wonderful memories and hope to return again soon. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a royal experience combined with genuine and heartfelt hospitality.
