Nestled atop the legendary Chittar Hills, hotel Umaid Bhawan Palace is a landmark architecture in the city of Jodhpur. The hotel offers a unique desert experience against the backdrop of an imposing array of forts, and palaces. Built in the early twentieth century, by Mararaja Umaid Singh of Jodhpur, the main building stands in three distinct parts today. One is the residence of the royal family; the other acts as a museum; and the remaining part is converted into a five star hotel.
