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

Truly memorable

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

Our stay at Umaid Bhavan Palace, Jodhpur was nothing short of magical — a perfect blend of royal grandeur and deeply personal hospitality. From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was absolutely seamless, setting the tone for a stress-free and indulgent stay. A special mention to Ms. Raj at the front desk, who was truly exceptional. She not only helped us plan and book various activities but also kept checking in on us throughout our stay to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. That kind of thoughtful attention makes all the difference. Guided by her was Aryan, who made our time at the palace truly memorable. From joyful kite flying sessions to the delightful and unique peacock feather hunting, he ensured these moments were fun, engaging, and unforgettable for our child. Sikandarji, who gave us the grand tour of the palace explaining about every person and every thing in detail. The culinary experience deserves its own standing ovation. Chef Shobhit curated flavours that were exquisite and perfectly balanced, making every meal a highlight of our stay. At the restaurant, Karanji, Narendraji, Gurudas, Aman, and Manisha took hospitality to another level — warm, attentive, and always smiling. Their service made dining feel intimate and special, despite the palace’s grandeur. A special thanks to Aman, who went above and beyond to make our son feel included and important. He patiently taught him how to make a mocktail and shared fascinating insights into beverages. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and kindness left a lasting impression on all of us. The room was impeccably clean and beautifully maintained, reflecting the highest standards of luxury. Kudos to the housekeeping team, especially Khanchand, for ensuring everything was spotless and perfectly arranged at all times. One of the most touching moments of our stay was the beautifully organised surprise birthday celebration for our child, thoughtfully arranged by Swaroopji. From the charming saafa for the boys to the elegant ring and bandhani odhani for me, every detail was planned with care and love. It was truly a royal and emotional experience that we will cherish forever. Umaid Bhavan Palace is not just a hotel — it is an experience where every staff member makes you feel valued, cared for, and at home in royal surroundings. We leave with unforgettable memories and immense gratitude. A stay we will treasure for a lifetime and wholeheartedly recommend.

Umaid Bhawan Palace – An Experience Beyond Royalty Staying at Umaid Bhawan Palace is not just a stay — it is a once-in-a-lifetime journey into timeless royalty, grace, and impeccable hospitality. From the moment you enter the palace gates, you are not treated as a guest, but as royalty. Every corner of the palace reflects heritage, elegance, and perfection. The architecture, the manicured gardens, the serene views, the warmth in every interaction — everything comes together to create an experience that words truly fall short of describing. What makes Umaid Bhawan Palace truly exceptional is its people. Their humility, attention to the smallest details, and genuine care elevate the experience to an unmatched level. A special and heartfelt thanks to the entire team of Umaid Bhawan Palace, with sincere gratitude to Mr. Swaroop Singh ji, Mr. Aman ji, Miss Rajnandani, Mr. Sadiquee ji, and each and every individual who works tirelessly behind the scenes to maintain the soul and grandeur of this iconic palace. Your dedication, warmth, and professionalism made our stay unforgettable and truly royal in every sense. Umaid Bhawan Palace is not a destination — it is an emotion, a legacy, and a benchmark of world-class hospitality. Grateful for the memories, the care, and the royal experience that will stay with us forever. 👑✨ Highly recommended to anyone who wishes to experience true Indian royalty at its finest.

Superb One

It’s been a great experience being at such an Iconic Place. Palace is much more than what i thought about it. Hospitality cared by Sikandar Ji, he gave us a complete know how about the palace, its history and importance while taking us to room. Later Rajnandini Ji has gave us a tour of the entire Palace with lot of depth knowledge. A very special thanks to both of them.

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely amazing. The hotel was beyond magnificent and the atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming. Every staff member was incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive, making us feel truly cared for from start to finish. A special thank you to Sikander Singh who helped us during our stay. He gave us a tour of the whole palace. Also thank you to Saddique, Rudresh and Karen for being so helpful and your kindness and extra effort made our experience even more special and memorable. We are truly grateful. We highly recommend this hotel and would love to return again.

A stay to remember. Family holiday made memorable

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

It was so good that i wrote this for the hotel members :) To everyone at the hotel, I feel humbled and proud to have stayed at Umaid Bhawan for my parents’ most important days. A big thank you to the people who made the difference. From my first touch point — a call with **Sangram** — I was sure that I would not be disappointed. He was very calm, very patient, and very reassuring. He made sure that I was well taken care of. All my requests were respected. He made me feel special. Thank you, **Sangram**. My next critical touch point was **Darveen**, and she was always smiling and explaining everything to us. Now comes the hero of my stay — **Mr. Saddique**. He was very, very respectful. He made me, and more importantly my parents, feel like royalty. He was just awesome for us. He knew what we wanted even before we could ask. He became our family member. With him, we felt that we were not at the hotel, but at the royal king’s palace. **Karan** and **Jabir** were also helpful and courteous every time we were at the restaurant. It seemed as if our wish was their command. My experience at the restaurant was excellent. My cold coffee, masala teas, and hot coffee were just awesome. I have never had such good tea at a 5-star hotel. **Saddique sahab** explained the crockery, food, history, and so on. The palace tour by **Sikandar** was nice. He was very kind to use both Hindi and English for us. My father was more comfortable with Hindi. The person was nice. When I compare the tour with what I had at Lake Palace or Falaknuma, the content was less. That can be improved to enrich the overall experience. Just to be clear — **Sikandar** himself was nice. Now comes the horse riding part. Again, a very differentiated experience. We enjoyed it a lot. It was a very thoughtful gesture from the hotel to send snacks along with us. Really nice. **Pep Singh** was hands-on and very involved in the whole process. His presence was really important. All in all, it was a fantastic stay. One more thing I really appreciate — even though many people from the royal family were at the hotel, we were not restricted. It felt as if we were equals. Please maintain this. Another important point — everyone at the hotel was very, very respectful. They greeted us and respectfully acknowledged our presence. The cookie-making experience was also very nice. It seemed that now you will be able to have better cookies 🙂 My wife will now make them for me. **Chef Anushka** was very nice. She explained everything patiently and was kind enough to offer us the cookies we made. **Navdeep** from the Ops team was with us for the entire time, and that felt reassuring. **Krishna**, **Sarwan**, and **Vikram** from the pool and spa were also very nice. They offered to help, navigate my day, and click pictures. **Asif** from housekeeping was also nice. Now the hero moment for me and my family — the cake cutting. Wow. Just awesome. I have had many such celebrations at many hotels, but this was just awesome. The safa, the sword, the whole style was amazing. **Mohan** and **Swaroop** were fantastic. Celebrated in style. It was really the high point of our trip. Now, with all this, I again say that this was a good trip — an awesome trip. You guys made it happen. I am so humbled, and you made me a proud son. You simply cannot match this feeling. Thank you 🙂 Oh! How can I forget **Rajnandini**. Such smooth bill processing. I have never had this before. She immediately understood what I wanted. Kudos. Also, thank you for letting us stay a little longer. While you may not have known this, it helped my father a lot. He has a bad stomach, and the comfort of having a room is important. Gratitude, Ratan Taparia 🙂 Check-in: 29th Sept ’25 Check-out: 1st Oct ’25 Room 314,312
