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.

Experienced the Taj hospitality after a long time. The courteousness and warmth of the staff and the surreal ambience of the palace is not something that we will forget soon!

No words can express a Taj experience, it just needs to be experienced. I wanted to create a life long memory so opted for a short vacation at the best Taj property - Umaid Bhavan, Jodhpur. A property which speaks history at each corner, Taj hospitality felt in each moment. Touched by the empowerment given by Taj to each of their team member. Delicious food, ambience and warmth experienced at each transaction. Good wishes to Taj for all hospitality and a touch of class (par excellence). No doubt Taj properties are best in class and are awarded for its numero uno position.
