Umaid Bhawan Palace

When a place fascinates you, you return! This will be our third stay at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur! And each time, the magic of this truly royal place captivates us. Are you looking for a journey through space and time? To immerse yourself in the life of a Maharajah from a bygone era? Look no further, this is the place! The decor is magnificent, down to the smallest detail, all original! As for the staff, everything is extraordinary! A huge thank you to the butler we had the pleasure of seeing again, Mr. Sikander, always attentive to our every need. A special mention also to Mr. Narendrar and Karan who made our visits to the restaurant a delight! A big bravo to the chef, Mr. Shobit, and his team, who made our meals an excellent gastronomic experience! We haven't forgotten the rest of the team, who are too numerous to mention here, but we send them our warmest regards! A five-star experience that we highly recommend!

Such a beautiful palace hotel with amazing staff. Sikander, who took us on a private tour of the palace, was wonderful and he is a great an ambassador for Taj. Karan provided fabulous service and was such a pleasure to be with. Aman was also fantastic and has a great career ahead of him.

From the very moment one steps into this extraordinary hotel, it feels less like an arrival and more like an immersion into living history. The property is nothing short of majestic—a place where one is instantly mesmerized and willingly lost in its spellbinding beauty. Every corner whispers stories of elegance and legacy, preserved with such reverence that it feels both regal and alive. From the impeccably maintained restrooms to the resplendent heritage rooms, from the sophisticated bar to the awe-inspiring grand stairway, and finally to the restaurant—each space possesses its own distinct charm and character. The attention to detail is astounding, a testament to how beautifully and thoughtfully the heritage has been conserved. What truly elevates the experience, however, is the staff. Impeccably professional yet genuinely warm, they make you feel less like a guest and more like royalty. Their grace, attentiveness, and welcoming demeanor add an unmatched layer of refinement to the entire stay. The culinary experience at the restaurant was nothing short of spectacular. From the aroma of freshly baked breads to the vibrant mezze—each bite was impossibly fresh and exquisitely flavorful. The Muscovy duck deserves a special mention; it was simply breathtaking, a dish that lingers in memory long after the last bite. A heartfelt special thanks to Chef Vikram, whose culinary mastery transformed the meal into an unforgettable gastronomic journey. This hotel is not merely a place to stay—it is an experience to be cherished.

We celebrated our 25th Anniversary at Umaid Bhawan. The overall experience was nothing short of regal. The majestic splendor of the palace is breathtaking, the service and food was top notch. Special shout out to Mr. SikanderJi for giving the grand tour with so much passion and to Mr Swaroop Ji and team for the very special 25th Anniversary surprise. The Raasila restaurant food and the breakfast was sumptuous, while the staff was externally hospitable. A special thank you to Mr. Siddiqui Ji was making our morning breakfast experience warm and very satisfying! Finally Deepanshi at the reception was very friendly and made the check-in, checkout process smooth. We look forward to coming back for more celebrations.

It does not get any better than this. Gracious luxury, tremendous attention to detail. Sikander Singh, Swaroop Singh, and their team are excellent. Also want to compliment Narendra for providing a good dining experience and Aaryan at the bar and Deepanshi at the front desk. The practice of putying all tips into one pot is excellent. Please keep that up. All in all a wonderful experience
