Bursting with ornate, regal splendour, the Samode Haveli is a hidden treasure buried amongst the bustling streets of old Jaipur.
Built 175 years ago as a residence for the rulers of Samode, this traditional Indian mansion is still occupied by their descendants who, luckily for us, have converted it into a superb luxury heritage hotel.
Its intricate Indo-Saracenic interior is echoed by the impeccable hospitality provided. The lavish guest rooms and suites, formerly royal apartments, are a blend of historic opulence and contemporary comfort, while the courtyards and balconies of these unique dwellings look out onto the haveli’s traditional pools, fountains and gardens.
Dining under the stars in the courtyard was a delight. Make sure you try the Thali, and Laal Maans mouthwatering selection of dishes, served on a traditional silver platter.
The Pink City! Samode Haveli is perfectly located, just a short distance from the old city walls.
