Spread across 7 acres of landscaped greens, WelcomHeritage Umed Bhawan Palace is situated opposite Nehru Garden, just 6 km from the IT and business hub of Kota, the third-largest city of Rajasthan. Kota is famously known as the coaching capital of India and is popular for its kaithoon sarees, mouth-watering delicacies, and Kota stones. Amidst the chaos of intellect, economy, and high-end Kota hotels, stands a dreamy palace in pink sandstone that will transcend you to the glorious years of royalty – WelcomHeritage Umed Bhawan Palace. This opulent palace was designed and built by Sir Swinton Jacob, a celebrated officer of the Royal Engineers in the British Army on the orders of Maharaja Umaid Singh II of Kota. The Victorian Style of architecture has been beautifully juxtaposed by the Indo-Saracenic style with some white Khimach and Italian marble, creating magic on stone. Proudly standing as one of the landmarks of Kota since 1904, the palace is perfect for royal destination weddings, staycations, and family getaways. Although a part of the Palace is still in use by the Royal family of Kota, a majority portion of it has been transformed into the best hotel in Kota. It will offer you a heady mix of old-world charm and modern facilities that will keep you coming back. The 32 exquisite rooms have been classified into 14 Deluxe Rooms, 16 Royal Suites, and 02 Presidential Suites. The Hotel offers an incredible range of Banquet Halls and Meeting rooms to choose from each with its distinct identity. The Hotel also boasts of two sprawling outdoor venues, the outer lawn and the side lawn; perfect for royal theme weddings. Staying in the WelcomHeritage Umed Bhawan Palace, Kota is an ode to those rare and mesmerizing experiences of the bygone era. So, if you are looking to indulge in a royal affair then this heritage palatial hotel is your best bet.
