Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur has been named the Best Hotel
in India by the world’s largest travel site, TripAdvisor in their coveted
annual Travellers’ Choice Awards.
The magnificent heritage hotel, which also
serves as the residence of the erstwhile Royal Family, was voted number 2 in
Asia’s Best Hotels and number 3 in the World’s Best Hotels. The splendid palace
has won accolades across nine categories including No. 1 in Service in India.
Umaid Bhawan Palace is the last of India’s great palaces
with its expanse of 26 acres making it one of the largest residences in the
world. Built between 1929 and 1942, this golden hued monument, made of desert
sandstone, designed by the famed Edwardian architect Henry Lanchester and
commissioned by H. H. Maharaja Umaid Singh, the grandfather of the present
Maharaja of Jodhpur, is a celebration of the Art Deco style on the grandest
scale. Once the sole preserve of princes and kings, Umaid Bhawan Palace offers
its guests a taste of fine living.
Managed by Taj Hotels Palaces Resorts Safaris since 2005,
the royal home was lovingly refurbished by the Taj to blend India’s age-old
royal traditions, with influences from local culture. Guests can indulge in a
series of signature Taj rituals, stroll through the private museum, dine in the
candlelit palace grounds or put their skills to the test on the marbled squash
courts. For a taste of the local flavours, visitors have the option to explore
the city in a vintage car drive accompanied by their royal butler or go further
afield to dine under the starry night sky in the Thar Desert.
