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.

We loved our stay at Umaid Bhawan Palace. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with warmth, grace, and genuine hospitality that made us feel truly special. A heartfelt thank you to Swaroop and Surendra, whose kindness and constant attentiveness made every interaction memorable. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and made our stay feel deeply personal. Special appreciation as well to Ms. Jakhang for her professionalism and thoughtful care. The palace itself is breathtaking, but it is the people who bring it to life.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Umaid Bhawan Palace – A Timeless Royal Masterpiece** ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Umaid Bhawan Palace is not just a monument, it is a living symbol of Jodhpur’s royal legacy, grandeur, and architectural brilliance. From the moment you enter, you are awestruck by the sheer scale, elegance, and attention to detail — the golden sandstone, the magnificent domes, lush lawns, and beautifully preserved interiors all speak of a glorious era. Every corridor, hall, and gallery tells a story of vision, resilience, and royal lifestyle, making it one of the finest palaces not only in India but in the world. Our experience was further elevated by Mr. Sikandar, who guided us through the palace. His exceptional knowledge of history, clear explanations, and deep understanding of the palace added immense value to the visit. He is extremely humble, polite, and patient, making the tour engaging and enjoyable for everyone. As a bonus, his excellent photography skills helped us capture stunning memories at the most perfect spots within the palace. Umaid Bhawan Palace is an absolute must-visit for anyone coming to Jodhpur, and having a guide like Sikandar makes the experience truly complete. A royal experience in every sense — highly recommended! 👑✨
