| Hotel Overview |
Experience the glamour, grandeur, and opulence of Rajasthan's royalty first hand with a stay at the Umaid Bhawan Palace Hotel in Jodhpur. The Umaid Bhawan Palace, as the name indicates is the residential palace of Rajasthan royalty, namely, Maharaja Umaid Singh Ji and continues to be the residence for his descendants - the royal family of Jodhpur. The Jodhpur Airport is approximately 4 kilometers away and the Jodhpur Railway Station is a little less than 6 kilometers away.
The hotel section of the palace has 64 rooms and suites; each room and suite is a beautiful amalgamation of the contemporary and the traditional. All contemporary conveniences including Wi-Fi Internet access, high-end entertainment units with a centrally located DVD library, tea/coffee making facilities, private bar, air-conditioning, and en-suite bathrooms with luxurious bathtubs are available in each room and suite of Umaid Bhawan Palace hotel in Jodhpur.
Complementing the in-room amenities are a range of 'experiences' at this luxury five-star palace hotel. The Grand Jiva Spa takes you to the next level of the signature Taj Jiva spa experience with its opulent decor and beauty treatments from the routines of Jodhpur queens and princesses. 26 acres of lush green gardens with dancing peacocks and singing birds entice you to begin your mornings early with a yoga session or a walk around the grounds. Continue your fitness regime at the onsite fitness center, which is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment from the world's leading company for wellness solutions - Technogym.
As this hotel is actually part of a palace, it houses within its palatial premises a wealth of recreational facilities including a billiards room, an in-house amphitheater, access to the Jodhpur court's royal astrologer, yoga studio, a beauty salon, an indoor underground pool as well as an outdoor swimming pool, and an entire arcade of shops and boutiques. Marble Squash courts, tennis courts, croquet lawns, secret gardens, stables, stately libraries and elegant ballrooms, a collection of royal vintage cars, and Jodhpur's royal train compete for your attention.
Within the palace, there is also a museum dedicated to the display of artifacts and antiques from the lives of the royalty past; exhibits include Victorian and Edwardian timepieces, porcelain and objects d’art, 19th and 20th century weapons, royal miniature paintings, models of airplanes, and exquisite crockery from the Maharaja’s personal collection.
The royal experience continues to enthrall guests at the spectacular dining venues dotting the palace. Pillars, the open-air multi-cuisine cafe set in one of the colonnaded verandahs of the palace, offers a wonderful setting for enjoying breakfast in the gentle warmth of morning sunshine.
Head to Risala for an incredible dining experience within the palace; cuisine served is a delectable fusion of Indian and Continental delicacies, which is accompanied by a heady list of wines, a royal ambience with regal portraits and martial artifacts on the walls, and exquisite views of the Mehrangarh Fort through the windows.
While here, do not miss a chance to dine at the Sunset Pavilion, a brainchild of the Maharaja Umaid Bhawan Ji himself. Ride up a 1940 elevator with richly carved wood interiors to the highest dining point in Jodhpur and proceed through the Whispers gallery, a gallery lined with a never-ever-seen-before collection of royal family pictures, to the Sunset Pavilion for a truly royal feast. Another not-to-be-missed experience is an evening at the Trophy Bar, the regal lounge. Puff on Cuban cigars, sip on a cognac, or make new friends over a tequila drinking competition; the regal ambience is enhanced by the rich wood paneled walls, lush upholstery, and trophy heads of different animals.
Booking a room at the Umaid Bhawan Palace Hotel requires just a booking request form with requisite details such as your name, contact details, preferred check-in and checkout dates, and number of rooms required.
