Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur
Part of the residence of the current Maharaja of Jodhpur, Gaj Singh, this luxury hotel is run by the Taj Group. It was commissioned by Maharaja Umaid Singh to provide employment to his people, and designed by Edwardian architect Henry Lanchester. After 13 years of extensive work, the palace was unveiled in 1942 as the sixth-largest private residence in the world. This luxurious property was the wedding destination for Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas's wedding in 2018.

Restored to its yesteryear glory and run by the Taj Group of Hotels, the property boasts well-appointed suites and impeccable service. The intricately-carved marble façade, elaboratelymanicured gardens, and plush interiors make it an oasis of luxury in the midst of an urban city.
