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.

I visited with my family to experience the beautiful property. As they say it's one of the biggest living palaces in India and it's true and well kept. The property is well maintained and magnificent! One of a kind!! The food at the risala restaurant is delicious and reminds of the royal Rajasthani cuisine. The hospitality is amazing , the staff is well trained and experienced. As they say - Padharo mahare desh! I felt the same.
