One of India’s grandest heritage hotels
Designed by Edwardian architect Sir Henry Vaughan Lanchester, the award-winning Umaid Bhawan Palace is one of the world’s largest private residences perched on top of Chittar Hill – the highest point in Jodhpur. One of the last grand palaces built in India, this spectacular palace-turned-hotel with its massive domed lobby showcases the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture, lavish avant-garde art-deco interiors, walls adorned with family portraits and spreads across 26 acres of verdant gardens.
Umaid Bhawan Palace continues to be the home of the descendants of the royal family. It offers accommodation in 64 rooms and suites, divided between the three main wings – Mardana, Zenana and Royal. The spacious Palace Rooms combine period décor with modern comforts and overlook the courtyard. The individually designed Historical Suites, opulent Royal Suites and lavishly decorated Grand Royal Suites offer a glimpse into the lifestyle of the royals. The graceful Maharani Suite and the more macho Maharaja Suite (adorned with dramatic frescoes of leopards and tigers) are options for those seeking ultimate luxury.
This hotel’s three restaurants offer an enhanced culinary experience, where guests can indulge in delectable cuisines from around the world. The Taj Umaid Bhawan Palace facilities include outdoor and indoor swimming pools, and the J Wellness Circle offers holistic wellness massages. No stay at Taj Umaid Bhawan Palace is complete without a vintage car ride through Jodhpur. Guests staying at this hotel have privileged access to the Palace Museum to view the private collections of the royal family.
