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 had an excellent experience here and would recommend for anyone. One of if not the best hotel we’ve stayed at and not a single thing was lacking. We had many ceremonies when entering, taxi service was great, staff were very warm and receptive, particularly when celebrating with us with a traditional turban ceremony and cake. Had a great conversation with the chef Shobit.

We had a wonderful stay at the palace. I would like to thank Sikander Ji and the entire front desk staff including the lobby manager for their warm welcome and lovely recommendations. Many takes to Bhagwat Singh ji who showed us the lovely city of Jodhpur with utmost patience. Highly recommend going with him if you take the hotel car. For food and beverage - amazing service was undertaken by Mr. Karan and Mr. Narender. And huge shoutout to chef shobit for the amazing Lal Maas. And thanks to Mr. Swaroop for the memorable birthday cake.

What can I say... Much more than expected, and that is beyond the premises.. The service, the food, the small details, the other guests.. and the special Palace tour which allowed us to discover very interesting details from the royal family and from the Maharaja. Thanks to Sikander Singh l!
