Umaid Bhawan Palace – TripAdvisor’s Best Hotel in the World

Recently I had the extreme pleasure of staying at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, India, which is voted as the “Best Hotel in the World” by TripAdvisor! The Umaid Bhawan Palace had some of the most incredible service you could ever imagine, from authentic Indian dancers that greet you upon arrival, to your own personal concierge to help with anything you could possibly need.

The Umaid Bhawan Palace is now run by the Taj Hotels and Resorts, but is still home to the Royal Family of Jodhpur, and is the 6th largest private residence in the world. Its architecture is said to have been inspired by a mix of the Taj Mahal in Agra, and the Angkor Wat in Cambodia. The Umaid Bhawan Palace is also considered as one of the top sites to see in Jodhpur, which is also famous for being the “Blue City”, which it gets its name from because of the large number of blue houses throughout the city.

More information on the Umaid Bhawan Palace and Jodhpur coming soon, but in the meantime, please check out this awesome video I made during my stay there!
