Greetings,

Greetings,
I'm not the one who write reviews at the drop of a hat. Having said that it doesn't mean,I don't. I do but rarely and only for the events that touches my soul deep enough. The experience we had at Umaid Bhawan Palace is one of those rare occasions where the gesture, the hospitality, the care and effort moves you to the core and fills you up with enormous joy.
Like every year, I was sorting out one of the Taj properties to celebrate our wedding anniversary, as a surprise for my wife & 3 yrs old daughter, when it struck me that what could be more mesmerizing than the beauty, grandeur & history which Umaid Bhawan presents you with.
It started with the courteous and delightful communication with Mr. Akshay Sharma, the reservation manager & Mr. Bharat Tandon, the duty manager, who very patiently and meticulously responded to all my queries with emails running back & forth as i was on the move abroad. They assured me of the very best and the most memorable of moments during our stay at the Palace and that's what we got the moment we entered Umaid Bhawan. It was an absolute wonder, the way we were received, greeted & welcomed at the entrance of the Palace and so warmly escorted to our extremely beautiful palace room, which by the way was upgraded as a heartening gesture for the auspicious occasion of our wedding anniversary by Mr. Bharat Tandon.
Such was the hospitality at Umaid Bhawan that we didn't have the slightest idea that it was just the beginning of what turned out to be one of the most cherishable stays we have ever had. Everyone was so warm, welcoming and always there for us, to make us feel very special, be it Mr Bharat, Akshat, Sabitri at the reception or Karan, Punit at the restaurant and the entire team of Taj Umaid Bhawan, some names we can recall and some we can't but credit to every single staff of Umaid Bhawan.
It was an evening to remember, sitting outside the Pillars restaurant being taken care of by Mr. Virendra bhatt, the f&b manager, who presented us with a delicious dinner for our anniversary celebration.
Words wouldn't suffice to describe the mesmerizing moments we lived & the memories we created during our stay but like a sweet melody it will keep humming in our hearts for a long time to come..
With love & regards,
Dr Rajbir Dhillon
