Travellers' Choice
One of the largest royal residences in the world, the golden-yellow sandstone Umaid Bhawan Palace is a monument to Jodhpur’s gallantry and romance. Guests get a taste of what it was like to live like kings. From rooms once occupied by the Maharaja. From regal pastimes like polo or croquet. From magnificent views of the palace gardens and the spectacular Mehrangarh Fort. From unique themed dinners that flaunt all the pomp-and-splendour of the desert kingdom.

From the triumphant entrance welcome; to the beautifully appointed suites; the amazing food and impeccable service (professional, attentive but unobtrusive); we loved the stunning views from our rooms; and vistas across the immaculate gardens to Jodphur beyond... We were looked after by the amazing Karan, at breakfast and dinner, who bustled about ensuring we had everything we needed... Chandan made our afternoons at the outdoor pool a joy, bringing a picnic basket of cold drinks and snacks, he even ran back from the kitchen to make sure that our ice cream didn’t melt in the hot sun... Mehardin ensured that we got the best sunset photos of the from of the palace and even managed to tease a peacock into the photos too...

    We had the most wonderful stay at the Taj Umaid Bhawan Palace... As great as the property was, the staff is what makes this hotel the finest in the world... During our trip, we stayed at Oberoi, Leela, and other Taj properties but the service at Umaid Bhawan Palace outshone all... From our wonderful reception and check in with Simaar to our, breakfast with Karan, ans nightly dinner service with Siva and Narendar, it was absolutely flawless... I would like to especially highlight and thank Narendar... His hospitality will forever be a fond memory and an example of "tajness"... We truly felt at home with him and his conversation and openness after our 26 hour journey to the hotel made us forget about all the difficulties and made us look forward to the next day... On a professional note, his service was impeccable... His suggestions helped widen our pallet and introduced us to foods we otherwise wouldnt have tried... Our city tour with Bikram was also top notch... We had the misfortune of visiting Jodhpur during a rare day of storms but he worked to ensure the weather did not impede our experience, even going as far as holding an umbrella for my fiance dispite getting rained on himself... I undersrand that he is a freelance guide but he deserves to be recognized for his outstanding service...

I had my reservations, but the staffs were so kind and patient I would love to visit again and highly recommend this palace to anyone seeking an experience filled with luxury and unmatched hospitality... I would like to especially mention Sagar Singh, Virender Singh, Bhupender Singh, Sikander Singh, Kapil, Raval, Meenakshi, Pep Singh, and Priyanka for their exceptional service and hospitality during our stay at the Umaid Bhavan Palace...

    Firstly, we were given early check in at 10 am and a free upgrade which was very much helpful with small kids. I don't remember the lady who welcomed us, but she was very nice and polite... At check in she gave soft toys to both kids at checkout also she gave us a diary and ring... All the facilities were superb, food, stay, room, hospitality... Saddiqque ji at indian restaurant gave us great service both at lunch and breakfast, that night i came late to restaurant for dinner around 11 pm still Mr Hemender served me fresh hot delicious food... The Chef Mr Shobhit came to visit us during lunch and asked if we needed anything, each and meal at Umaid was the bestest and made to perfection... Whenever rooms were cleaned, they were made perfect again Mr. Bersihal was always at assistance... At night i called for housekeeping Mr Hukam came and was very helpful and warm with extra bedding... During eveing Ram Niwas ji took me for horse stable visit agian he was very warm and lastly Mr Chain Singh the gate keeper was very kind... One more lady was there who showed us the maharaja and maharani suite she was also very warm; I don't remember her name she also gave my younger son a soft toy and he was super happy... The names I have mentioned dint make us feel that we were guests but more like friends, they talked with us and gave us time and answered each and every question with not a single hesitation... This year i visited Taj Madekeri, what a superb experience...

    ...We spent 2 nights at Umaid Bhavan in early November and it was truly a Royal Stay. Right from check in, where they upgraded one of our rooms from a Heritage Suite to the Royal Suite, and Diya gave a teddy bear to our 2 year old toddler, to check out, where they presented us with a couple of small gifts, everything about the stay was fantastic... The rooms were immaculately clean and Anamika and Ravi from housekeeping were always available for anything we needed... But what really sets this apart from other hotels, is the staff all around... Right from the lifeguard at the pool, to the driver we had taking us out, everyone is always going out of their way for you... I would like to specially thank Chef Shobit and Chef Vikram for organising food for my toddler... I would also like to mention Saddique and Chandan who served us passionately at the restaurants...

    ...At the start itself , the hotel upgraded me for being a loyal customer of the chain . Alka and her team guided us through the check in , which was seamless... The property itself is magnificent; however no experience is memorable unless the hospitality is above excellence and the tone was set from the first ... The suite given to me was superb with one sit out giving the view of the Mehrangarh Fort and the other Jaswant Thoda ... As I was on a full board meal , I had all the meals in the property ... Chef Shobhit Mathur , coming to know of our penchant for local cuisine , suggested items which were off the menu and specially curated for us ... He also suggested us the palace specialties over breakfast and other meals ... The staff in the restaurant were equally on their toes and amidst outstanding hospitality suggested other portions to have ... N Singh , Narendra Singh , Jabbar Singh , Raval Singh , Saddique forms a superb team and each out do the other in their hospitality and of course Shobhit himself ... The spa is extreme relaxing and special mention to masseuse Reena for providing a very relaxing massage ... The best part was that when she came to know that my body was stressed , she provided extra attention to relieve without bothering about the time ... It was however promptly replaced by the duty manager Manveer, and this gesture is much appreciated... Overall it has been a seamless and full filling experience to the minute details in as much as even the door man escorted us to the museum and got us a guide for a walk through... I have been a customer of Taj group for last 25 years and it has never failed my expectations.. rather every time spoils me to look out for more in my next visit ...

    We would like to thank Umaid Bhawan Palace for such an amazing hospitality during our stay. The stay and memories will live with us and will be cherished forever as you went above and beyond to make our special occasion memorable and we couldn't have asked for anything better than that... Please accept our special thanks to Taniska for making this happen and ensuring that we have a great time at the palace... In addition to being an amazing property (which Umaid Bhawan surely is) , the service and hospitality at Umaid Bhawan has been top notch... The credit for this goes to Taniska and her team members ( specially Rajnandini) for making this happen... We are so thankful that they managed to create a wonderful stay for us in such a seamless and professional way... Having travelled enough and stayed to so many different hotels and resorts, we would like to mention that the team at Umaid Bhawan Palace should be proud of what you do and please keep being awesome as the hospitality experienced at this hotel has been unmatched in our hearts...

    Well our stay at Umaid Bhavan Place was nothing short of a Royal Stay. Right from Our check in to our check out we were made to feel like royalty... Mr Abeer who greeted us at the entrance and then gave us a wonderful tour of the palace ... Chef Vikram and Staff at the restaurant Mr N.Singh, Mr Swaroop, Mr Chandan, Ms Manisha and Mr Raju took good care of our dietary needs and birthday celebrations... We can never forget the efforts taken by Liftman Mr Dhirendra to show us some unique locations at the hotel and masseuse Ms Eon who made sure that our experience at spa was like never before... Staff at the pool area, chef at the cookie baking class and cocktail making class and peacock feather hunting sessions made sure that my daughter was excited to do each activity... There are a lot of other staff who we did not encounter or forgot the note their names, but we would like to thank each one of them for making our stay a wonder full experience...

    Our experience was beyond incredible at this hotel... From the arrival to the checkout, you’re always made to feel special, appreciated, and pampered... The food is incredible, the rooms are so luxurious, the grounds are so beautiful and relaxing, but the star of the show are the people that work in the hotel... Everyone was just welcoming and treated us incredibly... Nothing we asked for was too much, and they were always so accommodating and helpful... Manohar helped us take a lot of pictures and did a tour of the queen suite... Monisha, Sadiq and Sakhshi helped us a lot with all the meal services... We hope to be back and will tell all of our family and friends to stay at this hotel...

    This was our 2nd visit to Umaid Bhawan and the experience keeps getting better and better... From the triumphant entrance welcome; to the beautifully appointed suites; the amazing food and impeccable service (professional, attentive but unobtrusive); we loved the stunning views from our rooms; and vistas across the immaculate gardens to Jodphur beyond... We were looked after by the amazing Karan, at breakfast and dinner, who bustled about ensuring we had everything we needed... Chandan made our afternoons at the outdoor pool a joy, bringing a picnic basket of cold drinks and snacks, he even ran back from the kitchen to make sure that our ice cream didn’t melt in the hot sun... Everyone and everything at this palace is world-class and it’s easy to see why it gets voted Worlds Best Hotel - simply because it is !!...

    From the moment you enter the Umaid Bhawan Palace till your last step out, you are made to feel royal… from being greeted with local melodies complimenting the awesome architecture to the soft instrumental music adding to the flavour and aroma of the delicacies every aspect is simply majestic... You wish something and its there for you… culinary treats are being curated to suit your palate, a guided tour of each and every corner of the palace, adorning the local safa (head gear) to repeating the same (beautiful) mistake of proposing to your beloved in a royal style what more could you ask…But beware, along with some beautiful and everlasting memories you will bring back with some unwanted inches on your waist… Thank you Chef Shobhit, Sakshi and Vikram and the entire team of Malvika, Alka, Diya, Meenakshi, Mahaveer Singh, Karan Singh, Rajnandini, Vaibhav and my roomkeeper Rahul for making this trip so memorable...

    Umaid Bhavan Palace, is not a hotel stay, its like leaving the real world and stepping into another world, where royalty, art, magnificent architecture, indulgence and luxury are yours for the time you are there... It was my parents golden wedding anniversary and they made sure my folks felt like royalty themselves... A special shout out to Puneet and Karan who indulged us right from making sure gluten free food was available to having a cake cut with a sword!...

The palace also offered an amazing list of activities for guests to enjoy, including a lesson in mock tail making and kite flying!... I had my reservations, but the staffs were so kind and patient I would love to visit again and highly recommend this palace to anyone seeking an experience filled with luxury and unmatched hospitality... I would like to especially mention Sagar Singh, Virender Singh, Bhupender Singh, Sikander Singh, Kapil, Raval, Meenakshi, Pep Singh, and Priyanka for their exceptional service and hospitality during our stay at the Umaid Bhavan Palace...

    A vast, luxury palace hotel set on a hill above the city of Jodphur, it was built by the Maharaja in the 1920s and has the second largest dome in India after the Taj Mahal... Arguably my all-time favourite outdoor hotel pool, with a well-equipped gym... Our room, while luxurious, did not have a balcony and the relatively small window somewhat hampered natural light... Terrific staff and service throughout... The outdoor terrace restaurant for dinner and breakfast was excellent...

This was my first time visiting Umaid Bhawan for celebrating my grandchild’s sixteenth birthday. Right from the very beginning I was assured of a stay which was drenched in luxury and further coated with warmest hospitality that roots from the Indian heritage of “Athiti Devo Bhawa”. One day stay in this paradise was definitely too short for me and I would rather spend an eternity over here specially, given that Chef Mr. Shobit Mathur’s mouth watering dishes make life worth living here! Especially my favourite Dal baatti Choorma and paan ice cream the staff at Umaid Bhawan greeted us with so much celebration and fervour, that it made the day an unforgettable one.

I had the incredible opportunity to celebrate my 16th Birthday at the majestic Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur. Surrounded by the grandeur of this magnificent palace, I was filled with awe and excitement as I stepped into a world of luxury and elegance. From the moment I entered the palace, I was captivated by its breathtaking architecture and opulent decor. The palace exuded a regal charm, with its intricate carvings, towering domes, and sprawling gardens. Every corner of Umaid Bhawan Palace seemed to whisper tales of royalty and history. The staff at Umaid Bhawan Palace surpassed all expectations with their warm hospitality and impeccable service. They went above and beyond to ensure that my birthday celebration was nothing short of extraordinary. The festivities began with a private tour of the palace, where I learned about its rich heritage and enjoyed hospitality of umaid bhawan. The tour was a delightful experience, as I marveled at the stunning interiors, adorned with exquisite artwork and luxurious furnishings. As the evening approached, me and my family went for dinner at one of the palace's finest restaurants "Risala. There was chef who was really sweet and advised me to have the specialty dishes of Rajasthani cuisine. The name of the chef was Shobit Mathur . He prepared a feast fit for royalty, complete with the most delectable traditional dishes from Rajasthan. We indulged in flavorsome dal bati churma, tangy gatte ki sabzi, and special home made ice cream . The presentation of the food was flawless, and each dish was bursting with authentic Rajasthani flavors. Furthermore, the ambience of the restaurant was enchanting, with soft lighting, elegant decor, and live traditional music playing in the background.Then me and my family went ain our rooms as we got tired since all day we were enjoying the grandeur of the palace. Our rooms at Umaid Bhawan Palace were a true testament to luxury and comfort. They were spacious, tastefully decorated, and equipped with modern amenities.. The next morning , we were treated to a lavish breakfast spread at the palace Pillar restaurant. The breakfast spread consisted of a wide variety of dishes, ranging from traditional Indian delicacies to continental favorites and again the head chef "Shobhit" personally prepared some of the Rajasthani dishes for us and added his own creative twist to make them even more special he is a very humble person. He even made a caustom birthday cake for me, which was beautifully decorated and absolutely delicious. My 16th birthday celebration at Umaid Bhawan was an unforgettable experience. My family and I were immersed in the grandeur and rich heritage of Umaid Bhawan Palace during our private tour. The stunning architecture, exquisite artwork, delicious cuisine, and impeccable service made it a truly enchanting and memorable celebration. The peacocks roaming the palace grounds added a touch of natural beauty to the already breathtaking surroundings. Overall, it was a truly special and unforgettable 16th birthday celebration at Umaid Bhawan Palace. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to celebrate this milestone event.

We have fallen in love with this Palace and their hospitality was second to none. From the time of check-in in till we left the property, everything was on point. Me and my wife decided to celebrate our first wedding anniversary at Umaid Bhawan and I am delighted that we made this choice. I made a call a week back at the property to request for a early check in and to let them know it was our anniversary but what I didn't expect was the amazing hospitality we were about to experience. From small details like the gate guard being informed about our anniversary to the spectacular upgrade to a suite. Cakes and treats being delivered to our room every couple of hours was a delightful gesture. Mr Swaroop Singh came in with a lovely bouquet and a beautifully crafted ring for me to gift my wife. We felt like royalties the entire time. The Entire staff made us feel like family and looked after every small detail to make our anniversary one we will remember for years to come. Special thanks to Swaroop Singh,Sangram and Shweta along with the entire house keeping team. The food was mouth-watering and delectable. We cannot wait to come back to Jodhpur and experience Umaid Bhawan and their warm Taj hospitality again.

My husband surprised me for our anniversary by booking the finest hotels during our multi- city tour: The Lodhi in Delhi, Oberoi in Agra, Jai Mahal Palace in Jaipur and Umaid Bhawan Palace in Judhpur. Umaid blew all the others out of the water! From the moment we arrived until our departure, we were treated like royalty! The staff was absolutely hands-down, the best. The palace itself is exquisite, our suite was incredibly spacious, clean, and gorgeous. Our butler took care of all the details down to ensuring our cell phone cords were wrapped up nicely! That is what I call attention to detail. My husband had not shared that it was our anniversary during the reservations but once the stuff found out, it was all about our celebrating our anniversary and making it super special. Even the front security came to find out and wished us!! Our butler surprised us with an incredible gift for my husband and I : a turban for him, and a beautiful ring for myself. Not to mention an incredibly delicious chocolate cake!! The food was so tasty and so well displayed - it was all about the details. and the waiters were there waiting to assist with any of our needs promptly and with a smile. The grounds were impeccably kept, so many places for picture opportunities right before we left the hotel we asked if someone can come with us and take photos and they promptly obliged free of charge. I have so much more to say, but I highly highly highly recommend you stay here for the experience of being treated like royalty for a few days. There were so many incredible staff members that made our stay so pleasant, however I would like to acknowledge Swaroop, our butler, whose thoughtfulness and attention to detail is A+! Karthik, our photographer, was sweet and patient and quite talented in photography although that was not his job. Mehardin, San gram , Karan and Pep Singh were amazing!! Thank you you all! We will be returning and planning to have our daughter’s wedding in this glamorous palace in the future!

This place was over the top. The service food decorations for Diwali and all the help we received to make our stay wonderful was beyond belief. We highly recommend staying here for at least 2 nights to take in the culture and history. Thank you

We just left after several day stretch at the Umaid Bhawan Palace Jodphur. We travel quite a bit all over the world. I would have to say it was the best experience at a hotel I’ve ever had. From the quality of the property and premises to the excellence of the staff and services this hotel stands out. They created a wonderful anniversary experience for us that was above and beyond anything that we could have expected. From the first step into the hotel everything and everyone was wonderful. Mr. Swaroop Singh is due particular mention- he made certain every moment was special. You must not miss staying at this hotel!
