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.

My visit to Umaid Bhawan Palace in April 2026 with my family was truly unforgettable. I found the experience both enriching and inspiring. The palace’s stunning architecture and well-preserved history made learning about Rajasthan’s royal past feel immersive and engaging. Exploring it together as a family made the trip even more meaningful, as we shared discoveries and conversations along the way. A major highlight was the food—especially the authentic regional dishes, which were flavorful and beautifully prepared, offering a true taste of local culture. Overall, the visit combined luxury, education, and warmth, leaving me with a deeper appreciation for history, tradition, and quality family time.
