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.

The most regal experience
We had a royal welcome in this beautiful grand palace, the hospitality and attention to detail were beyond a hôtel duty. All the staff, made us live my sisters birthday as a real exceptional event. Our butler Sikander had such care and organised amazing expériences for us. Thank you all for making us live a moment of historical magic. And …… The food! The chefs and staff of Pillars added to the delicious food experience. Definetely will come back very soon with my daughters 👍🏻

Sikander
My husband and I stayed at the Ume Palace last week. It was one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever seen. The visuals were The service was perfect. Sikander guided a group of us around the hotel which made the stay complete. He was able to explain photographs and paintings that made the stay unique. I would go back in a heartbeat.

What an amazing hotel
What an amazing hotel. I have not stayed in a similarly impressive place (palace) anywhere in the world. We were given a large and very comfortable corner suite. The staff were most friendly, in particular Sikander and the younger barman in the Trophy bar. The food was delicious with an excellent choice of Indian and international specialities. We also very much enjoyed the beautiful pool.
