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.

This beautiful palace made us go back in time and feel like princesses. The service was exceptional, always with a smile and willing to do anything to make our stay as comfortable and heart warming as possible. Karan was the best waiter with the best attitude always and going out of his way to make sure our meals were an exceptional experience. Sikander, our butler, was so kind and helpful. Taking the best photos and videos to cherish this memory forever. We will always remember this hidden gem in Jodhpur.

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.

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.
