Luxury comes at a price. But what if that luxury is brought to you at no cost? Jodhpur's Umaid Bhawan Palace has been named as the world's best hotel of 2016 by travel website TripAdvisor at its 14th edition of Travelers’ Choice Awards. Built over 15 years between 1928 and 1943 after its namesake, the Maharaja Umaid Singh, the palatial hotel is literally fit for an Indian king, as the sprawling property is the principal residence of the Jodhpur royal family. The palace features 347 rooms and while we truly understand that not everyone can afford this opulent a king's palace to stay overnight (tariff going up to Rs 1,18,900/per night), you could instead take a virtual tour of the royal palace right here. And when we say luxury, it is the lasting experience that counts, so navigate through the magical palace for as many times as you desire, you won't be charged. You can further explore the palace here on Google Maps' Street View and here at the palace's official site.
