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.

Over the top service, meals and palace accommodations . Magical timing! All guests were invited to the king’s phenomenal Diwali party, which included gifts, dinner, drinks, music, and fireworks. We will be back to this living palace should we have the good fortune to travel again to Jodhpur!

If you’ve ever dreamed of living like a king for a weekend, Umaid Bhawan Palace is the place! We stayed here during our honeymoon, visiting seven top-tier Oberoi, Taj, and Leela hotels across India, and this Jodhpur gem was hands-down the grandest. The palace’s golden sandstone splendor is paired with rooms, service, spa, and food that matches the best luxury hotels in India. Even our laundry got the royal treatment, delivered back in a gorgeous royal blue chest! Our butler, Sikander, was a total star—warm, friendly, and always a WhatsApp message away, ensuring every detail was perfect. The large grounds are breathtaking, with views of Mehrangarh Fort. We booked a vintage car ride in one of their open-top classics for a scenic cruise around Jodhpur.

Simply the best hotel we have been to… in our lives. And we have been to many wonderful ones… but this… this is just beyond what words can describe. We celebrated our 50th bday and received wonderful attentions too!

This is an acknowledgement that the Taj really stands for its name. Our recent visit to Umaid bhawan, Jodhpur was memorable and made more comfortable by the extraordinary hospitality provided by the staff. Our stay was made more memorable by the special efforts made by extraordinary individuals serving at this hotel. Special thanks to Mr. Manu Sharma for providing a wonderful stay and fulfilling the requests made by us. A special mention to Sikander Singh Bhati for being there for us all the time. Meeting our every single requests and ensuring our stay is wonderful. Mr Narender provided a special surprise with his unique talent of sword and tied us Safa making us ready for the traditional celebration. Mahaveer at the F&B was outstanding and ensured we added kilos before leaving. An overall thanks to Malvika, Nisu, Sangram, Manveer for taking the extra effort every single time and really ensured that we don’t face any difficulties with our senior parents. The property and its location is globally renowned and doesn’t need any mention but the people handling the property are its real assets and they have gone extra mile every single time we needed any assistance and that has made our holiday memorable for lifetime. I highly recommend everyone to visit Taj Umaid Bhawan, Jodhpur. Thanks Taj and thanks to team Taj Umaid Bhawan.
