Taj Hotel - Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur
Built between 1928 and 1943, Umaid Bhawan Palace is a magnificent piece of Rajasthan?s heritage and a symbol of the new Jodhpur. Home of the erstwhile Jodhpur royal family and currently the world?s sixth-largest private residence, the palace has one thing in common with the iconic Taj Mahal at Agra?the palm court marble used in its construction. Perched on Chittar Hill, the highest point in Jodhpur, Umaid Bhawan Palace inspires with exotic views of the historical Blue City, vast dunes, and intimidating Mehrangarh Fort.
