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.

Celebrating our 14th anniversary at Umaid Bhawan Palace was an experience straight out of a royal dream. From the very beginning, the warmth and attention to detail stood out. A special mention to Sikandar, our butler, who made our stay even more memorable with a wonderful and detailed tour of the palace. His knowledge and hospitality added a personal touch to the grandeur around us. The highlight of our celebration was the beautifully arranged private candlelight dinner. Curated thoughtfully by Swaroopji, every element was simply perfect. The evening was set in their Chef’s Special Room, adorned with elegant décor, live instrumental music, and even a traditional safa bandhai ceremony, which made the experience feel deeply rooted in culture and celebration. The personalized photoshoot by Liladhar captured these moments beautifully, giving us memories we will cherish forever. A heartfelt thanks to Chef Rudresh for curating a specially crafted dinner menu for us. Every dish was not only delicious but also exquisitely presented, reflecting the care and precision that went into every detail of our private dining experience. What truly made the evening unforgettable was how every little aspect—decor, ambiance, food, music, and service—came together so seamlessly, making us feel incredibly special. Umaid Bhawan Palace is not just a place to stay, it’s an experience of royalty, warmth, and heartfelt hospitality. Our anniversary celebration here will remain one of our most cherished memories. Highly recommended for anyone looking to celebrate life’s special moments in the most magical and royal way.

It was amazing to stay at Umaid Bhawan Palace. Though it was an impromptu trip for us but what turned out was a memory for a lifetime. Great detailing, superb hospitality, delicious food and best people made it feel like palace belong to us. It felt that each corner of the palace stoll has the royalty embedded in it. Special thanks to Sikander, Deepanshi &Other members from front desk for their detailed tour and taking care of our child so well. Saddique and Karan from F&B ensure that the food were curated to our taste buds. Wishing the teams all the best for making this palace a ace on Indian map.

An unforgettable evening at the Umaid Bhawan Palace. Dined there last night, and it felt less like a meal and more like stepping into living history. The grandeur of the palace, its beautifully preserved heritage, and the stories woven into every corridor create an atmosphere that’s truly magical. The food was equally exceptional rich in flavor, thoughtfully curated, and served with impeccable hospitality. Every dish felt like a tribute to the royal legacy of Rajasthan. A special mention to Rudresh Joshi for outstanding hospitality. His warmth, attention to detail, and personal touch truly elevated the entire experience. What stood out most was the experience as a whole, the blend of history, elegance, and warmth. It’s not just dinner, it’s a memory you carry back with you. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Jodhpur at its regal best.

We spent 2 brilliant days in this grand palace. My wife and me just went on a couple of days break. The palace is grand and makes one feel royal. Thanks to the hotel for upgrading us to the suite and it was one of the finest suites we have stayed in. Taj service was at its best. Right from check in , welcome and each and every staff member was giving the royal treatment. Special call out for Sikander, who gave a fantastic tour of the palace and explained each detail and also he took care of all needs and kept asking proactively. Also the chefs for all meals were brilliant and once they discussed food choices then they just handled and made some brilliant dishes for each meal we had. Must say that each and every staff member treated us as royalty and that’s the ‘Wah Taj’experience that the brand is known for.. thanks to entire team during the two days of stay that we had. Looking forward to our next trip..
