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.

Reviews for Umaid Bhawan Palace

Palace First, Hotel Later

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

Having stayed at other Taj palace properties across India, I arrived at Umaid Bhawan Palace with similar expectations. However, Umaid Bhawan offers an entirely different experience. Unlike most luxury hotels, it truly makes you feel as though you are living in a palace rather than staying in one. The staff are always present whenever you need them, yet somehow remain almost invisible otherwise, a level of service that is both seamless and remarkable. I am sincerely grateful to the General Manager for the thoughtful welcome gifts and the personal letter that was waiting for us. A special thank you to Swaroop Singh for arranging a wonderful surprise for my wife, to Sikander Singh for being both an exceptional photographer and a walking encyclopedia of the palace, and to Ranveer, Kanwar, and Siddique Ji for their impeccable service during our breakfasts and dinners. I had requested a very specific Rajasthani delicacy, and Chef Gaurav graciously prepared it for me. It turned out to be the finest Kadhi Kachori I have ever tasted, and I genuinely doubt anything will come close to it in the future. Shobit was incredibly thoughtful with our dinner on the first night and recommended dishes for the second evening, accurately predicting exactly what we would enjoy. He was absolutely right. Thanks to Aaryan for making us amazing cocktails, and also sharing his knowledge. The staff at the gym and pool were equally warm, attentive, and hospitable. The hotel also arranged a special evening tennis session for me, which was a memorable touch and greatly appreciated. Finally, my heartfelt thanks to everyone working behind the scenes, the gardeners, housekeeping staff, bell team, room service, maintenance, and countless others, whose dedication and hard work make Umaid Bhawan Palace such an extraordinary place. It is their collective effort that transforms an already magnificent palace into an unforgettable experience.

Royal treatment at a magnificent palace

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

Umaid Bhawan palace is a magnificent palace, with expansive lawns where peacocks roam free. The hospitality from the Taj crew is fit for royalty! We had a wonderful 2 nights stay here recently in July. Weather was a bit warm in July but mornings and evenings were pleasant. There was a nice outdoor pool to cool down in the afternoons. All meals were of very high quality accompanied by attentive service from narendra-ji at dinner and karan and manisha at breakfast. Mr. Sikandar Singh gave a wonderful palace tour in the afternoon including graciously accompanying the request for a special peek at the maharani suite, which apparently also served as the honeymoon suite for Ms. Priyanka Chopra’s wedding!

Unforgettable Experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

**An Unforgettable Stay at Umaid Bhawan Palace** Our stay at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur was truly exceptional, one of the finest hospitality experiences we've had anywhere in the world. The grandeur of the palace, with its stunning Art Deco architecture and rich history, makes you feel like royalty from the moment you arrive. A special mention for Sikander Singh, who made our visit even more memorable. His warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care for guests added a personal touch that went well beyond standard service. He ensured every detail of our stay was taken care of, and his hospitality reflected the true spirit of Rajasthani warmth. The property itself is immaculate, the dining experience superb, and the overall ambience regal yet welcoming. We're already looking forward to visiting again with our family soon. Highly recommend Umaid Bhawan Palace to anyone seeking a blend of luxury,

Rajeev S
