Maharaja Umed Singh II, ruling king of Kota
in the early 1900s, who resided in the medieval fort within
the city of Kota, decided that he wanted a modern palace for
his personal use.
He commissioned Sir Swinton Jacob, an officer of the Royal
Engineers in the British Army to undertake the conception and
implementation of this project and in 1905, the Umed Bhawan
Palace, built in the prevalent Indo-Sarcenic style, was
constructed.
Accommodation
Hotel Umed Bhawan Palace has 32 spacious and
well-appointed air-conditioned rooms including suites.
This Indo-Sarcenic, early 20th century palace has retained all
the clean-cut solidity of the Victorian influence mingled with
subtle Rajasthani trends as well as the trappings of royal
comfort and aplomb. While the decorated ceilings and the marble
corridors speak of its regal origins, the heirlooms and hunting
trophies speak of the royal glories and lifestyles of the time.
