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.

We had an amazing stay at Umaid Bhavan Palace. From the moment we arrived, every team member made us feel genuinely special—attentive, warm, and wonderfully polite. A special shout-out to Chetan, who went above and beyond for us. He spent so much time helping us capture beautiful photos around the property—he’s such a talented photographer that we thought he was a professional, though he says it’s just a hobby. Those pictures will be memories we cherish for a long time. Thank you to the entire staff for such thoughtful hospitality. We would happily stay here again anytime.

Our stay at Umaid Bhawan Palace was nothing short of magical — every moment made us feel like true royalty. The hospitality, attention to detail, and warmth of the entire team made our experience unforgettable.

We stayed at Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and it turned out to be one of our most memorable stays ever. The palace itself is breathtaking, but what made the experience truly special was the warmth of the people. We were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a beautiful suite, which made the celebration even more special. A big thank you to Mr. Manveer, the manager, for his constant attention and for ensuring everything was perfect throughout our stay. We also had a wonderful private palace tour with Mr. Sikandar Singh, the Guest Relationship Manager and one of the oldest members of the team, whose stories and warmth added so much depth to our visit. Every moment at Umaid Bhawan felt royal and heartfelt — from the hospitality to the little gestures. Truly an unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to return someday.

Greeted by rose petals music and a marigold garland. Sikander took us for a wonderful tour. Lovely man. Generous service. Karan took great care of us at breakfast. Upgraded to a suite of 4 very comfortable rooms with a fantastic view. Highly recommend. Service throughout the property was exuberant.
