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.

This is the most magnificent hotel I have even stayed in. It’s bumped the Taj Palace Mumbai(India Gate) into second place. Sikander was our No 1 star ⭐ and made us feel like part of the family. If you visit one hotel in India this should be it!. Cleanliness top notch and food totally exceptional. We are both gluten free and this was a non issue here. Even the complementary water was so special- copper infused.

Beautiful building and very thoughtful staff! It was so nice to be welcomed by Sikander who arranged a private tour for us of the museum! Dinner at Pillars was great with live music and at breakfast we were even surprised with a cake to celebrate our honeymoon. The staff for both dinner and breakfast went above and beyond! The architecture and grandeur of the space truly took my breath away! The only downside was the very dated furniture in the rooms which felt like such a shame given the rest of the property. Overall a great experience and definitely want to come back after some upgrades!

The most incredible experience in every way. From the magical arrival greeting to the breathtaking beauty of the palace itself, there wasn’t a single aspect we could fault. Every staff member was outstanding. A special mention to Sikander Singh Bhati, who arranged a private tour for us and was incredibly helpful with any queries we had. He went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after. Karan, who served us in the balcony restaurant, was also wonderfully friendly and a delight to interact with each meal. Swaroop arranged the most special anniversary surprise in our room — a beautifully decorated cake with a sword to cut it, along with a stunning turban and scarf. Chetan also went out of his way, taking us around the property to capture the most wonderful photos, which we now have as cherished memories. It was an unforgettable stay, and we are deeply grateful to the entire team.

My stay at the Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur was truly by far the best experience I have ever had in my life yet. From the Entry Point at the outer gate, we just felt Royalty. The Care taken by each staff member was truly exceptional. I presume that the service provided by your staff must be usual for your staff Members. But as a guest we were truly mesmerized by the Hospitality showered during our short stay at the palace. We plan to make this a regular routine henceforth. Special thanks to the following members who had taken very good care and thought: - Mr. Saddique - Pillars Restaurant Mr. Shobit Mathur - Chef Mr. Harsh - for the Excellent tour of the Palace and the Stables I am sorry I forgot the name of the Duty Manager on the 9th of November 2025; we shared a lot of his experiences in Chennai. A special bathtub experience was arranged for our little ones and also a souvenir was presented for the little ones to keep company for their sleeping time. Each minute at your palace was truly unforgettable and would be remembered forever. Each request was honoured with profound zeal and sincerity.

We recently stayed at Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur, and it was an absolute delight! The hotel's family-friendly atmosphere and amenities made our stay truly worthwhile! We are already missing the ambience of beautiful property of Umaid bhawan. Will plan to go back again. Thank you Gaurav ji, Swaroop ji and Sikander ji & all the staff for making our stay luxury that we felt like being the member of a royal family and making our anniversary special. Thanks to all the staff of Umaid Bhawan for making it unforgettable 🙏🏻
