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.

the hotel is in a live in Palace and Taj manages half. Its absolutely stunning but more so the grounds!!! The welcome was amazing! Trumpets, music, champagne!!! we felt like dignitaries! The service just overwhelming! The elevator operator I think Pavan was there all the time. Sikander Singh was there to help us...with ANYTHING...all day every day. He also gave us a tour of the palace and we saw the royal suites!!! Breakfast and dinner service is flawless. There is live entertainment and the spa and both pools are stunning. We got cold drinks and snaks by the pool without even asking for it! The peacocks on the property are beautiful and very entertaining. Just an amazing experience!

The experience was very Royal, mesmerizing and memorable. My parents and my wife and both daughters and myself, just loved the grand welcome at the entrance and live traditional music, the beautiful rooms, the celebrity Chef's food which was sumptuous. We experienced the grandeur of Umaid Bhawan palace in our entire stay. All the lady hosts were very hospitable, showed our rooms showed us the palace and ensured that we were comfortable. The live traditional music in the lobby as well as at Pillars restaurant was wonderful. Rooms were very Royal. Thank you Chef Chander Singh Ji for taking care of all our 3 meals and and taking so good care of us. My mother herself being a very good cook has seen TV shows of Chef Chander and was happy to meet in person and enjoy the chef's cuisines. All the dishes were so tasty and the tastes still lingers in our mouth. At Risala, Pillars and Trophy bar our experience was royal and very beautiful. Thank you Mr Sadique, Jaber and Narendra Singh for your great hospitality. Kids loved the cookie making, cocktail making, Horse riding session, peacock feather hunt. Thank you for these activities. We loved seeing and feeding the peacocks in the morning at Pillars restaurant. Above all I would like to thank the overall head Mr Nitish Williamson for taking so good care of us and making the stay so warm and memorable. A year and half back we went to Taj Lake palace to celebrate my parents anniversary and we came to Taj Umaid Bawan palace to celebrate my birthday. Thank you Taj for the awesome hospitality shown on both occasions. Thank you to the entire Umaid Bhawan Palace team for the great memories that we would cherish forever. The souvenirs were a very warm and royal gesture and everybody loved them.
