Umaid Bhawan adjudged World’s Best Hotel for 2016

Built in the early 20s for Maharaja Umaid Singh of Jodhpur, the heritage Umaid Bhawan palace-turned-hotel acquired by the Taj Group has been awarded the title of the Best Hotel of 2016 by leading travel consultants TripAdvisor. The prestigious award is based on millions of reviews and opinions collected in a single year by TripAdvisor from travellers across the world. Featuring 64 rooms and suites, this art-deco hotel has earned this accolade by way of the warmth and hospitality it has extended to its guests over the years. “We are extremely proud to have been recognised by millions of TripAdvisor travellers who have voted us as best in the world. Our palace hotels offer a glimpse into the life of the regal yesteryear, and the majestic Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur leads this field in luxurious service and attention to detail. We are delighted that some of our other iconic hotels were also recognised amongst the best in the world. These awards are testament to Taj’s legacy of world-class service, rooted in the nobility of Indian heritage and traditions,” stated Chinmai Sharma, Chief Revenue Officer, Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces. Umaid Bhawan has not just reached numero uno position in the Top Hotels category in India and the world but also bagged the most number of awards won by an Indian hotel across categories.
