An Insider's Take
'One of the world's largest private residences still occupied by royalty, this golden sandstone marvel is part palace, part museum, part luxury hotel – a living piece of Rajasthani history.' What's Special? Built between 1928-1943, this Art Deco masterpiece was constructed during a famine to provide employment for locals. The Maharaja's family still resides in one wing while guests enjoy 64 luxurious rooms and suites. The palace sits atop Chittar Hill with panoramic views of the Blue City and features 347 rooms total, making it one of the world's largest private residences.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a Heritage Room for the authentic palace experience, and don't miss the vintage car collection featuring Rolls-Royces and classic Indian automobiles once owned by the royal family.
Don't Miss The museum wing showcasing royal artifacts, the Throne Room with its stunning frescoes, sunset views from the palace gardens overlooking Jodhpur's iconic blue houses, and the underground Baradari restaurant carved from sandstone. The palace also houses the world's largest flag flying from a single pole.
