Umaid Bhawan Palace
Built between 1928 and 1943, Umaid Bhawan Palace is a magnificent piece of Rajasthan’s heritage, and a symbol of new Jodhpur. Home of the erstwhile Jodhpur royal family and currently the world’s sixth-largest private residence, the palace has one thing in common with the iconic Taj Mahal at Agra—the palm court marble used in its construction. Perched on Chittar Hill, the highest point in Jodhpur, Umaid Bhawan Palace inspires with exotic views of the historical Blue City, vast sand dunes, and intimidating Mehrangarh Fort. The palace is conveniently located 20 minutes from the airport, close to the main shopping areas, and the Balsamand and Kalyana lakes. The last of the great palaces of India, the property houses a family museum, as well as the resplendent Umaid Bhawan Palace. Set amidst 26 acres of lush gardens, with dancing peacocks and a subterranean Zodiac Pool, the luxury five-star Taj heritage hotel offers 70 utterly breathtaking Art Deco- style rooms and suites. Tantalise your taste buds at Risala with authentic Rajasthani and Indian cuisine. Discover an array of European and Mediterranean delicacies at Pillars, set in a lovely colonnaded veranda. Unwind at the Trophy Bar with its unique hunting-themed décor and vast selection of alcoholic beverages and cigars. Pamper yourself with rejuvenating signature treatments and therapies at the Jiva Grande Spa, or soothe your mind and body with yoga and meditation.Take a heritage walk and relive a fascinating bygone era brought to life through majestic monuments. Soak in the original architecture of a fascinating bygone era and discover the rich history of a palace that has enjoyed actual royal company—Maharani BadanKanwar of Jodhpur having lived here. Stroll through the lush, landscaped Baradari Lawns, perfect for those who have always envisioned a fairy tale wedding. Come, experience luxury like the royals did.

Perfect in every way from the breathtaking, elegant Palace, to the wonderful staff and excellent meals.
Staying at the Palace has been a highlight of our holiday. The elegant splendour, the interesting family memorabilia, the intimate dining and Trophy rooms and, of course, your staff each and everyone attentive, friendly and proud to work with you. We were pleased to hear of the Maharaja's family history of philanthropy in the community.

Excellent
It’s a beautiful property . Very well managed and courteous staff. We only had a slight issue in the organisation n planning of the unique dining experience we were booked for... since staff was initially little reluctant to give us a decent venue of choice..barring that it was a satisfactory experience. Karan at the restaurant during breakfast n dinner was extremely helpful n courteous and so was Divya at the reception with all her assistance for various bookings n other things.

An Incredible Experience
Excellent service provided by your amazing staff at all levels.
The Trumpet & Red Carpet Welcome we received will forever be a highlight.
Dining on the Terrace & at Risala Fine Dining were wonderful experiences, a highlight of our stay.
The attention from the Serving Staff In both restaurants was excellent.
The Room Service Staff were also exceptional, very caring & considerate.
The Lift Attendant was also exceptional, anticipating our every move.
The fact that all staff were knowledgeable about the history of the hotel and the projects the Maharaja has undertaken in the past and is currently undertaking was very heartwarming.
I congratulate you and your team on your staff training programs, as to achieve the excellent standard of service provided at all levels requires an enormous commitment.from the Management & Training Teams.
Thank you for an Amazing & Incredible Experience.
Best Wishes to you and all your staff for the future.
May you All have a long life & good health.

Flawless
There are few words to describe what I characterize as the most seamless; elegant experience I have had in any hotel in the world. I am an regular international guest (and fan) of the Taj properties but had never had the opportunity to visit Umaid Bhawan. The establishment went far beyond my expectations. The sheer size of the palace is collosal, yet with only 70 guest rooms/suites, there is an unexpected air of intimacy. The consistency of the architecture with the originnal furniture and artwork in near unseen. The staff is impeccably trained (which means discrete and attentive but non-invasive). The only words are "you don't know what you are missing until you have been to Umaid Bhawan".
