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.

Our one-night stay at Umaid Bhawan Palace was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was unmatched, and we were made to feel like royalty. Staying within such a magnificent historic palace was an experience in itself. The architecture is breathtaking, with its massive golden sandstone structure built using precisely interlocking stone blocks without mortar. Walking through the palace and learning about its history made us appreciate its grandeur and craftsmanship even more. The beautifully maintained grounds were equally spectacular, with peacocks roaming freely throughout the gardens and adding to the magical atmosphere. We also enjoyed an incredible traditional Rajasthani thali, specially prepared for us by the chef. Every dish was flavorful, authentic, and beautifully presented. Our sincere compliments and appreciation to Chef Vikram for creating such a memorable dining experience. A very special recognition goes to Mr. Sikander, who went above and beyond to make our visit exceptional. He showed us the palace’s impressive vintage and luxury car collection, guided us to the most iconic locations around the property, and patiently took so many wonderful photographs for us. His warmth, attentiveness, and genuine desire to make our stay memorable made a lasting impression. Although our stay was only for one night, the experience will remain with us forever. Umaid Bhawan Palace is not simply a hotel—it is a remarkable journey into Rajasthan’s royal history, culture, architecture and hospitality. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
