About the Hotel

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.

Nothing short of Magical

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

We stayed at the Umaid Bhawan palace with our 2.5yr old baby girl at the Royal suite and the room was BEAUTIFUL. Chef Pushpeshwar (I'm sorry if I didn't get the spelling right) and his team made sure my baby got the food made to order and in the exact way I requested. The property is humongous and looks stunning during sunset with peacocks dancing around . Try to hangout by the pool around sunset and catch the view of the fort beside a setting sun. The breakfast was sumptuous with cold food available as a buffet and hot food made to order and served at the table. Sometimes during breakfast there are a ton of pigeons flying around who may decide on showering their droppings on you so be careful . The hospitality is great. Front desk is very responsive. Mr.Mohan from housekeeping did a good job. Mr.Sikander Singh has been there for real long and he will take you around and give a palace tour and very kindly click pictures of you. He is just lovely ! Overall, a truly beautiful Palace and an amazing Taj experience.

Royal Grandeur, Remarkable Hospitality

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

An Experience That Truly Lives Up to the Palace Umaid Bhawan Palace is not simply a hotel stay—it is an experience of grandeur, heritage and exceptionally thoughtful hospitality. From the moment we approached the magnificent main entrance, the experience felt special. A particular mention to the gentleman at the main entrance —although I unfortunately do not know their name—who greeted us with the warmest smile every time we entered or left the palace. Those little gestures set the tone for the entire stay. Our welcome was warm and beautifully handled, and the Guest Experience team especially “Mr. Sikander”, went far beyond simply managing a stay. They understood that we were celebrating my wife’s birthday and made sure the occasion received genuine personal attention. The check-in was smooth, effortless and wonderfully warm. The room itself was beautiful, spacious and grand, with an elegance that perfectly reflects the character of Umaid Bhawan. A special mention to our housekeeping team, “Mr. Asif” who were exceptional throughout our stay. The beautiful room décor they arranged was a lovely surprise, and on the birthday they went a step further by creating a beautifully decorated bathtub with rose petals. They took care of the birthday surprise I had planned for my wife with such thoughtfulness that it genuinely made the moment more special. Also special mention to “Mr. Adesh” from housekeeping team for being proactive and making sure everything is taken care of. The heritage tour with “Mr. Sikander” was another highlight. It was beautifully conducted and gave us a wonderful insight into the history and personality of this extraordinary palace. And, of course, the peacocks! Seeing so many of them freely around the property, and being able to watch them up close, added an almost magical dimension to the experience. The hi-tea was delicious and very try well taken care of - special thanks to “Mr. Chandan” & “Mr. Shashank”, and our breakfast at Pillars was another memorable experience. The beautiful surroundings, peacocks in the gardens, flute being played in the background, excellent food and impeccable hospitality made the morning feel truly regal. Special thanks to “Mr. Saddique” for their warmth and attentive service. “Mr. Saddique” was kind enough and proactively suggested us various things to try at breakfast and everything was delicious and honestly their service and personalised touch was just impeccable. The palace also surprised us with a beautiful birthday celebration arranged in their own special way. It was thoughtful, unexpected and genuinely touching - special thanks to “Mr. Swaroop” for that. It’s a kind of memory that we will cherish and will always bring a smile to our face. The front desk team, particularly “Mr. Sangram” and “Ms. Malvika” were consistently helpful, warm and attentive throughout our stay. Special thanks to “Ms. Malvika” for taking care of our requests and also for a small memory to look back at whenever we think of Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur. The birthday dinner at Risala was the perfect culmination. A very special mention to Chef “Mr. Shobhit Mathur” - The fact that the chef personally came to meet us during hi-tea and then again took personal interest in our birthday dinner made the evening feel incredibly special. They took the time to understand exactly what we would enjoy and delivered precisely that—with wonderful taste and attention to detail. The entire Risala team, especially “Mr. Swaroop, Mr. Chandan, Mr. Shashank and chef Mr. Shobhit Mathur”, deserves huge appreciation for their impeccable hospitality. Every interaction was warm, professional and genuinely personal. Also special mention to Mr. Saddique again and chef “Gourav Kumar” for serving us delicious breakfast and sharing their journey as well with us and taking care of us during breakfast at Pillars. From the entrance guard, front desk and Guest Experience team to housekeeping, Pillars and Risala, every person contributed something to the experience. And then there is Umaid Bhawan itself—the architecture, heritage, gardens, peacocks, scale and sheer grandiosity are almost impossible to describe adequately. It is magnificent, but what makes the palace truly memorable is the people behind the experience. They don’t merely provide hospitality; they make you feel cared for. We came to Umaid Bhawan to celebrate a very special birthday, and the team ensured that we left with memories far beyond what we had imagined. A magnificent palace, extraordinary attention to detail, and hospitality that turned a birthday celebration into a truly unforgettable memory. Umaid Bhawan Palace will remain one of those places we remember not just for its grandeur, but for how wonderfully it made us feel.
