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.

I do t think anyone can write anything negative about taj palace hotels-they seem to hire the cream of their employees for these hotels. Especially @sikanderji who was kind enough to show me around the palace requires a special mention.

My recent stay at Umaid Bhawan was nothing short of extraordinary. The property itself is a masterpiece — a stunning blend of heritage and luxury that makes you feel like you’re living in history while enjoying every modern comfort. The grandeur of the architecture, the meticulous attention to detail, and the serene atmosphere create an unforgettable setting. What truly elevated my experience, however, were the people. Every member of the staff embodied warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. From the moment I arrived, I was treated not just as a guest, but as family. Their attentiveness and thoughtfulness made every interaction special, whether it was a simple greeting or going the extra mile to ensure my comfort. Umaid Bhawan is more than just a palace; it’s an experience shaped by both its breathtaking property and the remarkable people who bring it to life. I left with cherished memories and a deep appreciation for the care and dedication that make this place so exceptional. A huge shout out for Sikander Ji, Rudresh, Harsh, Navdeep, Manohar, Ranjeet Singh ji and Bhom Singh ji.

Our trip to Umaid Bhawan was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, every single team member made us feel incredibly welcomed with their warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality. The palace itself is breathtaking, but it’s the people who truly make the experience unforgettable. A special thank you to Narayan & Gyanchand from HK for maintaining everything so beautifully and always greeting us with a smile. Jabar from Pillars made every interaction so pleasant and thoughtful. Ankush, the Spa Manager, along with Esther & Shwmi, gave us one of the most relaxing spa experiences we’ve ever had — we left feeling completely refreshed and pampered. A heartfelt thanks as well to Manisha, Karan , Gordhan ji,Kapil & Chandan ji at Risala for the exceptional dining experience and warm service throughout. Every meal felt special because of the care and attention they put into everything. Sikandar Ji from front office always went out of his way to help along with Pep singh , Ms Malvika and Duty Manager Manveer who arranged the entire stay for us and ensured our stay was seamless and comfortable, always going above and beyond to help us with such professionalism and warmth. It was a bday to remember! The entire team at Umaid Bhawan made us feel less like guests and more like family. Their attention to detail, hospitality, and positive energy truly set this place apart. This is not just a hotel stay, it’s an experience everyone must have at least once. If you’re visiting Jodhpur, Umaid Bhawan is an absolute must-visit for its royal charm, luxurious experience, and most importantly, the amazing people who make your stay so memorable. Can’t wait to come back again!
