Umaid Bhawan Palace
— An Icon of Regal Grandeur in the Blue City
Built between 1928 and 1943, Umaid Bhawan Palace is a masterpiece of Art Deco architecture and one of the world’s largest private residences. Perched atop Chittar Hill, it offers breathtaking views of the Blue City, golden dunes, and the majestic Mehrangarh Fort.
Once the royal home of Jodhpur’s Maharaja, the palace now welcomes guests as a luxurious Taj heritage hotel, featuring 70 opulent rooms and suites set amidst 26 acres of lush gardens with peacocks and the iconic Zodiac Pool. Crafted from the same palm court marble as the Taj Mahal, the interiors glow with gilded furnishings, murals by Polish artist Stefan Norblin, and timeless elegance.
Walk through royal history, indulge in palace-style luxury, and create memories in a setting fit for kings, queens — and your own fairy tale moments.
