Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur

Designed by renowned Edwardian architect Henry Lanchester, the palace is a blend of eastern and western architectural influences. Its majestic 105-foot high cupola is influenced by the Renaissance, while the towers draw inspiration from Rajput tradition. The lavish interiors with gilt furniture and elegant artwork follow the Art Deco style, complemented by the exotic murals of the self-exiled Polish artist Stefan Norblin.

The choice of grand, elegant and informal halls, lawns and courtyards offers several venues for conferences and private parties. Special theme evenings can be organized at varied venues including a sand dune.

Location
Umaid Bhawan Palace Jodhpur - 342 006 Rajasthan India

Maharani Suite
The Maharani Suite, originally designed for and graced by Umaid Singhs' Maharani, is aptly dominated by a Norblin mural of the Goddess Kali etched on shining black glass. All in pink, black, chrome and mirror, the suite includes spacious private drawing and dining rooms with an attached kitchenette, a large balcony with a spectacular view of the palace gardens and the Mehrangarh Fort, a dressing room with a wardrobe, and a bath carved out of a single piece of pink Italian marble designed by Norblin.

Maharaja Suite
The Maharaja Suite, once Maharaja Umaid Singh's own suite just across the crystal fountain courtyard, exudes an earthy and masculine ambience. It bears murals of leopards from Africa, tigers and horses, and even of the famed Jodhpur sport, pig-sticking by Norblin that are magnificently complemented by flaming torch lamps in chrome, plush Ruhlmann sofas in faux leopard skin and a delightful secret bar in the drawing room.

Royal Suites
Luxurious Art Deco style offering with mirror finished terrazzo and large bedroom and sitting area, overlooking Palace Lawns and fountain courtyard. These are extremely spacious with a living room (area), a bedroom, bathroom, dressing area and a broad balcony. These suites overlook the well-laid out gardens of the palace (in the mornings peacocks strut on the lawns); and in the distance the city and the spectacular Mehrangarh Fort, perched atop a hill. Since the palace is built with a melding of Art Deco and Indian elements, these design styles run through these suites.
