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.

We stayed here for a weekend, and the property is truly exceptional. As special as the hotel itself is, what stood out even more was the staff and the level of service. The service was absolutely outstanding—warm, attentive, polished and consistent at every single touchpoint. In my experience, I would even rate the service here above Rambagh Palace and Lake Palace. The team at the main restaurant was excellent, as were the staff by the pool, at the Trophy Bar, room service, the front desk and the reservations team. I wish I remembered everyone’s names because so many people deserve individual appreciation. What impressed us most was that the exceptional service was not limited to one department—it was everywhere, throughout our stay. A truly memorable weekend and a very special property. Five stars without hesitation.

We had an amazing stay. My daughter loved doing the activities. On the second day she was very ill due to a lot of ear pain. The palace sent staff to all the pharmacies and specially arranged ear drops for her. Raj Nandini , Sikander and all the staff there were always warm and helpful and our stay couldn’t have been better. Very classy elegant property with amazing rooms. One of the most beautiful Rajasthan palace hotels.

"Dear Umaid Bhawan Palace Team, I am writing this with immense joy to share our feedback regarding our recent stay. Having stayed at almost every five-star hotel in India, I can confidently say that our time at Umaid Bhawan Palace was by far the most magnificent. For the three days we were there, we truly felt like royalty. The enthusiastic welcome and the incredibly affectionate farewell made us feel so special and valued. I want to personally appreciate Mr. Sikandarbhai, who gave us a wonderful tour of the palace and took great care of our every need. I also want to express my gratitude to the housekeeping staff who made my birthday so beautiful and memorable—their service was outstanding. Similarly, the staff at breakfast and High Tea took care of us with so much love and personal attention. You have made this an unforgettable milestone in my life. These are memories we will cherish forever. Thank you for your unparalleled hospitality."

Our family stay at Umaid Bhavan Palace in Jodhpur was nothing short of magical. From the moment we were picked up at the airport to the time we checked out, every detail was a 10/10 experience. The palace itself feels like stepping into a fairytale — magnificent, grand, and steeped in history. The staff were gracious, attentive, and incredibly warm, making us feel welcome at every moment. The food was absolutely delicious, and the hospitality was truly exceptional. A special mention to Sikandar Ji, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. He gave us a wonderful tour of the palace, including a fascinating visit to the grand Maharaani Suite. His warmth and knowledge made the experience even more special. Most importantly, our two kids were truly treated like royalty throughout our stay, which made this family experience all the more unforgettable. We will definitely be looking forward to coming back. If you’re visiting Jodhpur, I would highly recommend staying at Umaid Bhavan Palace at least once — it’s a wonderful opportunity to experience what royalty truly feels like! 👑✨
