ROYAL TREATMENT
A remarkable private residence, the present Maharaja is still in residence, so expect the royal treatment.
The last of the great Maharaja’s palaces, the Umaid Bhawan is a fusion of the great Indian palace architecture that stretches back to the time of the Moguls, and the pinnacle of western design styles. High-domed cupolas recall the Renaissance, but are embellished in true, ornate Indian style. Inside the concepts of famous architect Henry Lanchester are complemented by Art Deco geometric floors and furnishings, and the exotic murals of Stefan Norblin.
The Umaid Bhawan is so extravagant and so regal that it remains the private home of the present Maharaja and his family. To stay here is the equivalent of spending a couple of weeks in Buckingham Palace whilst the Queen is in residence! Welcome to a royal world.
