Hotel Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur

About Hotel Umaid Bhawan :
This magnificent pink sandstone palace, built in the 1930s in the art deco style of colonial India is perhaps the grandest of the palace hotels of Rajasthan. Its also home to the current Jodhpur Maharaja. The public rooms are lavish & filled with objects de art. Many of the rooms, though not opulent, have period decor.

Location :

The Welcomheritage Umaid Bhawan Palace is located at just 3 kms from Airport, 5 kms from Railway Station and 3 kms from Bus Stand of Jodhpur. It is one of the the largest and grandest private residence in the world. The Umaid Bhawan Palace is a splendid example of the Indo-Colonial and art-deco style of the thirties. It took three thousand artisans fourteen years to create this magnificent edifice of hand-chiselled sandstone blocks put together by a special system of interlocking. There is no mortar binding....an architectural triumph! Extending across 26 acres, 15 acres of which are taken up by gardens, the palace is 195 meters long and 103 meters wide.

Accommodation :

A Choice of 94 rooms and suites. Each room appointed with the furniture originally created for the Palace. Surpassing the splendor of the other guest rooms are the Maharaja & Maharani Suites originally used by Maharaja Umaid Singh and his Maharani. In the foyer leading to these suites is a musical fountain made entirely of English crystal. Some of the old retainers of the royal household are still there to serve the needs of present day guests with the gracious hospitality that has always been a unique hallmark of the Palace.

Dining :

Enjoy the sumtuous buffet laid out daily for lunch and dinner at the Marwar Hall, with a wide choice of Indian, Continental and Rajasthani specialities. As an alternative, there is Risala, the a la carte restaurant. The lovely colonnaded verandah, The Pillars is a perfect setting for a leisurely drink and snacks, to enjoy the wintery sun during the day or watch it set at dusk. And as twilight falls and peacocks stalk across the back lawns it is time for a drink at the Trophy Bar.

For groups, there are the specially arranged theme parties with the folk music of the desert on the ramparts of the Mehrangarh Fort or the 'flaming torch' dinner on the illuminated lawns of the Palace, which give you an unforgettable experience. In Winter, theme dinners are often organized in the Dal Badal, a 100-year old intricately designed hunting tent, which is set up in the Palace.
