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.

A royal experience of staying in an actual palace. Rare quality of hospitality led by Shri Sikander Singh around the palace and Shri Narender inside the restaurant. History, aesthetics influenced by diverse cultures converge at the Palace, truly memorable experience

This was not a vacation but an experience for my whole family. Special thanks to Sikanderji for the wonderful palace tour and Shobitji the Chef and Narendra ji for serving such wonderful Rajasthani delicacies. Thank you all for the great time we spent together.

Outstanding service by staff as always . Everyone from Karan ji , Anup Singh ji , Saddique ji. Ms Manisha , Mahaveer ji , KhanChandji of housekeeping to outstanding chefs like Vikram , Gordhan , Narendra and Rawal ji . They are so outstanding in service that Taj should make this premise as a practical training ground to show staff how to give stellar service . I know most of them , including Sikandar ji Bhati and Sajjan ji are mostly all local people but they are better in service delivery and guest care compared even to much more senior team of other top properties of Rambagh and Lake Palace . We left an extremely generous tip of 1000 usd to show our appreciation . Bhom singh of entrance even is so so caring and kind . If someone wants to pampered and cared for like actual royalty .. go to Umed Bhawan Palace . No where else in world can be compared to it and that’s from me who is used to staying at the finest of places around the world .

Wonderful experience on all fronts, be it the rooms, overall palace decor, food and above all the service standards of Taj. Quite a tall order to exceed them. A few deserve special mention like Sikander Singh, Siddique, Karan Singh just to name a few… The weather was also not so severe, hence made the trip more enjoyable.
