Umaid Bhawan Palace

Our family of four recently stayed at Hotel Umaid Bhavan, Jodhpur, and it was a truly memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and genuine care. The property is stunning, beautifully built in traditional Rajasthani heritage style with intricate decor, lovely courtyards, and vibrant interiors that make you feel like you’re living in a royal palace. Our rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with beautiful views of the city. Watching the sunset from the rooftop with a perfect view of Mehrangarh Fort was simply magical. The breakfast spread was also excellent and well-prepared. The staff deserves special appreciation for their polite and attentive service. Sikander Singh Bhati was knowledgeable about everything!! They were always ready to help with recommendations, travel arrangements, and anything we needed during our stay. The location is convenient and close to major attractions, making sightseeing very easy. Overall, Hotel Umaid Bhavan blends heritage, comfort, and hospitality perfectly. It gave us a memorable family holiday experience, and we would love to stay again. Highly recommended for families and anyone visiting Jodhpur!!

We had an amazing stay at the Umaid Bhawan Palace during our Rajasthan trip in November of 2025. The best part is the personalized service delivered with a lot of warmth and heart. Sikander gave us a beautiful tour and settled us in the room. He was always around to help and connected through WhatsApp. Swaroop Singh organized a Queen’s retreat dinner in the palace lawns - made the evening very special with a photographer and accompanying music plus some nice surprises! Overall, we had a great experience. Highly recommend the vintage car, a Pontiac 1933, drive to Mehrangarh Fort. The food, hospitality, ambiance and beauty of Umaid Bhawan Palace will stay with us for a long time! We will definitely be back

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.
