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 celebrated our 25th Anniversary at Umaid Bhawan. The overall experience was nothing short of regal. The majestic splendor of the palace is breathtaking, the service and food was top notch. Special shout out to Mr. SikanderJi for giving the grand tour with so much passion and to Mr Swaroop Ji and team for the very special 25th Anniversary surprise. The Raasila restaurant food and the breakfast was sumptuous, while the staff was externally hospitable. A special thank you to Mr. Siddiqui Ji was making our morning breakfast experience warm and very satisfying! Finally Deepanshi at the reception was very friendly and made the check-in, checkout process smooth. We look forward to coming back for more celebrations.

It does not get any better than this. Gracious luxury, tremendous attention to detail. Sikander Singh, Swaroop Singh, and their team are excellent. Also want to compliment Narendra for providing a good dining experience and Aaryan at the bar and Deepanshi at the front desk. The practice of putying all tips into one pot is excellent. Please keep that up. All in all a wonderful experience

I was looking for something very authentic and this was it! The restaurant on the rooftop is great especially if you’re lucky enough to get our terrific server Bhanwar Singh. He was so patient with all of our questions and gave great recommendations and made our dinner so enjoyable! Nice egg station for breakfast but could use more options for tourists. Liked it here a lot but will say a little noisy within the walls so hard to nap and sleep in. Maybe tho it’s because it was a very busy week! Overall, would recommend!

Heartfelt appreciation to Chef Chander Singh Rathore and Chef Shobhit Mathur for the outstanding preparation of Junglee Maans. The flavors were authentic and perfectly balanced. All the other delicacies prepared were equally excellent and truly enjoyable. Compliments to the chefs for such a memorable culinary experience.
