Umed Bhavan Palace was build by Maharaja Umed Singh II in 1905. The heritage structure was constructed in the Indo Saracenic architectural style with pink sandstone, white khimach and imported Italian marble. The Palace truly offers a royal ambience and is a majestic sight in Kota. In 1930, a new wing was added to the existing palace, which is still the residence of the royal family of Kota, while the Welcome Group runs the rest of the Umed Bhawan Palace as a Heritage hotel.

Guests at Umed Bhawan Palace can enjoy a game of badminton in the court or run on the jogging track. The Palace also offers conference and banquet facilities to the business tourists. For recreation, the palace arranges tours to nearby tourist attractions.

The Umed Bhawan Palace is a regal heritage hotel and is located amidst sprawling gardens in Kota. The architecture of the Palace combines Rajput and Victorian designs and the walls and ceilings are decorated with traditional Rajasthani paintings, hunting trophies and regal artifacts. The Umed Bhawan Palace has an Edwardian Drawing Room, Banquet Hall, Durbar Hall, Zenana and Clock Tower. The Heritage Hotel offers 25 air-conditioned rooms and suites equipped with satellite channels, direct dial phone lines, cable television and attached bathrooms with running hot and cold water.
