Hotel Umaid
Bhawan Palace
Umaid Bhawan Palace, an impressive and magnificent golden-yellow sandstone
edifice in the heart of Jodhpur, stamps a commanding presence. Set
amidst 26 acres of lush gardens, the Art Deco style palace was the
last of India's great palaces and was one of the largest private residences
in the world. A part of the palace is still the residence of the royal
family and another section houses a museum displaying a range of antiques
from Jodhpur's royal past.
Designed by the renowned Edwardian architect Henry Lanchester and
embellished with exotic murals of the self-exiled Polish artist Stefan
Norblin, the palace is a blend of Eastern and Western architectural
influences. The luxurious bathtubs, swimming pool, murals and gardens
add to its beauty to its majestic architecture. Among the finest palace
hotels in the world, Umaid Bhawan Palace offers guests a privileged
royal lifestyle experience. The airport is 5 kms away, and the railway
station 5 kms.
