We arrived at night from Mumbai after a short ride from the airport. What I recall was the steaming coming off the pool. The pool is impressive. It’s heated 24/7. Now to the room - we travel as a party of 4 - 2 kids + 2 adults. The rooms provided gave enough space for both kids to be in a separate area. My daughter slept in an annex which looked like a study off the bedroom. The bathroom was very large and luxurious. The room was perfect for all of us with a dining table and reasonable in cost. I cannot comment on the decor, styling and room size enough. I have not been inside a home which has been so sumptuously appointed for sometime. Make sure you go to the roof terrace. This was my first time staying in a luxury home stay. It’s more like a luxurious home which runs like a hotel. The service was slick. Any request was furnished with kindness and professionalism [eg. Laundry, dinner recommendations, text bookings]. I can imagine this organisation growing nicely and offering more options for accomodation in the future. The breakfast, while not a typical 5 star hotel buffet provides for most diets with all the usuals and a small buffet. It;s more than enough with the hot component having ***y options [dosa, uttapam, parents, porridge etc.] Let’s face it, you don’t always need a 30 station buffet everyday of a holiday. I would request them to have some gluten free toast on hand in the future. The hotel is set in a residential area, located in the foothills of the palace. the story goes that the homes have to be built in the same stone as the Umaid Bhavan Palace. There is one home being built in white; not sure what’s happening there. Back to the story…the homes in this area are massive. There’s even the owner of a paan company in the same road and the house is absolutely massive! The location is absolutely fine for travelling around and is nice as it provides a rest after a long days outing to the fort or shopping. It was always my intention to stay at the Umaid Bhavan Palace Hotel, but they were exorbitantly priced. We even tried to go there for lunch, but could not make a booking on the day. When I called, they said they were only running one restaurant. Overall, the Almond Tree met all of our expectations.
