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.

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.

Live Life King’s Style
Well I don’t know where to start & where to end my review just the way you can’t imagine where this palace starts and does not have an end because it is very much yet alive within us.
From the very entry into the palace we felt like Royalty as the welcome they gave with guards saluting, the band (like trumpet) playing, the garland, the auspicious kumkum teeka for blessings and most important are those unconditional smiles of Taj’s team. It was as if my family has won a battle & have come back home after years. That’s exactly how we were welcomed.
Mr. Akshat from Taj made our entire check-in and complete stay as smooth & comfortable as possible. He took our priorities into mind & broke done a perfect itinerary giving us time to experience
- the museum (a must do incase you enjoy history & vintage cars)
- cultural folk dance & music experience
- nicest authentic traditional meal at RISALA (don’t miss it at any cost)
- palace walk
- gifting my kids at entry & exit with something traditional get useable making sure it’s nailed into our memories so playfully
Ms Garvita took us around the Palace in DETAIL. She showed us where the current Maharaja stayed, the top of the line Maharani & Raja suites, outside beautiful lawns, both the outside & beautiful inside swimming pools, spa & so so much more. She really defined the word hospitality to a completely different level. Scarred us in the right way. We had so so so so many questions & demands which she smilingly answered and took care.
Taj organised a interesting high tea for us and the location & setting was just PERFECT. Live music & food. ON POINT!
Chanda my sister had a particular diet due to Ekadarshi which allowed only a few food items which could be consumed. All the Chefs (Pushpender & his colleagues) on duty took care of this so deliciously. We all couldn’t imagine that fulhaar Ekadarshi food also could taste this yummy. Kudos to the entire kitchen team to take care of this along with my kids wanting stuff which wasn’t on the menu and me having a vegan diet.
Waking up early morning to experience the yoga session is a delight. We had one of the best breakfasts setting in the open with artist playing the Indian musical instruments very elegantly, Peacock’s dancing around, chilly weather taken care with fire lampposts and all that amazing food. Also my family had not experienced so many egg free bread options at one time. We just didn’t know when & how to stop eating.
We checked out happier & heavier.
