About Hotel Umed Bhawan Palace

Umed Bhawan Palace exudes an aura distinctly its own, suggesting the hues of the nearby desert. Steeped in history, the Palace Hotel subtly blends Rajput and Victorian architecture. Lush lawns and courtyards, picturesque ceilings, marble corridors, treasure troves, hunting trophies of yesteryears along with exquisite royal heirlooms complete the regal picture. Every visiting dignitary, including Queen Mary, who visited Kotah state in 1905, has been entertained at the Umed Bhawan.
