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.

Exceptional Stay at the Palace

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

The first thing that strikes you apart from the grandeur of the property is the wonderful Hospitality at every step of the way.The staff really make you feel at home and we had a wonderful time celebrating my wifes birthday. We had a medical emergency at night which was really well handled by the hotel with a representative throughout with us to assist us in need. The food spread is wonderful and top notch,Saadique and Karan along with the others at the restaurant make you feel at ease and well looked after. Swaroop from housekeeping the rockstar along with his team indeed made our stay truly special. Sikander was at our beck and call at any given time and made the necessary arrangements whenever needed. All in all it truly felt special and we were sad while departing the property. Looking forward to staying with you soon again.

Amazing experience at Umeed Bhawan! It truly made us feel like royalty. The hospitality was exceptional, and a special thanks to Mr. Sikandar for being such a wonderful host. His warmth and attention to detail made our visit even more memorable. Highly recommended!

Royal Heritage Experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

This property had been on my bucket list for a long time, and I finally had the opportunity to experience it during a one-night stay. It certainly lived up to my expectations. The palace is exceptionally well maintained, and staying here was a truly memorable experience. One thing I have always admired about Rajasthan is the warmth and hospitality of its people, and this hotel was no exception. Every member of the staff was courteous and welcoming throughout our stay. A special mention and heartfelt thanks to Mr. Swaroop Singh for the exceptional palace tour. His knowledge, storytelling, and passion for the property's rich history made the experience truly unforgettable. He also helped us capture some wonderful photographs, adding to the memories of our visit. The hotel was kind enough to upgrade our room, which was a thoughtful gesture and greatly appreciated. The only aspect that fell short of expectations was the food and beverage experience. We had lunch and high tea, and both were average rather than memorable. The coffee, in particular, was surprisingly below the standard one expects from a Taj property. On the other hand, breakfast was very good, with an excellent selection of fresh and well-prepared dishes. Overall, it was a wonderful stay at a magnificent heritage property. The architecture, ambience, hospitality, and the unforgettable palace tour made the visit truly special. With some improvement in the food and beverage offerings, this would easily be a flawless experience. One final observation: I was surprised that I did not receive any post-stay feedback email from Taj. In the past month alone, I have stayed at three different Taj properties, yet I haven't received a single feedback request. I do receive all my reservation and confirmation emails from Taj, so it is unlikely that the feedback emails are ending up in my spam or junk folder. Since guest feedback plays an important role in maintaining service excellence, I hope Taj looks into this issue so that guests can conveniently share their experiences.
