Umaid Bhawan Palace Jodhpur : - Partially converted into a Hotel, Umaid Bhawan Palace is also known as Chhittar Palace due to the namesake sandstone used to build it. It is a fine amalgam of the quiet charm of a bygone era with the comfort and efficiency of an International hotel.
It has 98 rooms and suites and is reputed to be amongst the finest palace hotels.
One of the finest combinations of architectural extravaganza and aesthetic ambience, the hotel takes pride in the fashionable Art Deco interiors by the Polish artist and decorator S. Norblin. It boasts of having its own post office, museum, library, auditorium, underground swimming pool, tennis courts, marble-floored squash courts, a billiards room and gardens which can accommodate 6000 people.
It should be no surprise, therefore, that the architect of the palace, H.V. Lancaster, wanted it to rival the Viceregal Lodge (now Rashtrapati Bhawan, residence of the President of India).
The hotel has its own post office, museum, library, auditorium, underground swimming pool, tennis courts, marble-floored squash courts, a billiards room and gardens which can accommodate 6000 people. Residents can amble through the Throne Room and garages stabling vintage cars. The hotel is well known for their Marwari and Rajasthani cuisine.
