Samode Haveli
Jaipur, Rajasthan
Built 175 years ago as a residence of the rulers of Samode, it is still occupied by their descendants, who have converted their home into a luxury hotel.
An urban oasis in the historic walled city of Jaipur, Samode Haveli is a traditional Indian mansion set in a verdant garden with apartments arranged around a series of intimate courtyards.
The foundation of the Samode Haveli was laid over 225 years ago by the Rawals of Samode. Since its construction the Haveli has been the city home of the rulers of Samode.
Over the generations many additions and changes were made to the original structure of the Haveli. These alterations give the Haveli a unique and distinctive old world charm. Built across many levels around a series of traditional chowks or courtyards, the Haveli is a quintessential Indo-Saracenic regal residence.
Accommodation: 39 rooms (deluxe rooms, deluxe suites, the Haveli suite and Sheesh Mahal suites)
Food: Intimate dining is now also exotic. The exquisite former dining hall that serves as a restaurant is bedecked with colourful hand-painted murals. There’s a choice between the traditional Rajasthani cuisine and international flavours within these frescoed interiors. Afternoon tea in the regal veranda lounge is soothing and meditative as you relax and watch the gentle world go by. Cocktails or a meal by the grand pool is a luxurious indulgence as you lie back in the comfortable salas or day beds that are strewn with large, regal bolsters.
Central activities: Jaipur city: Lose yourself in the noisy lanes of the old city just beyond the gates of the Haveli or venture into the many bustling bazaars stocked with the traditional arts and crafts, the jewellery, the fabric, the miniature paintings, the furniture and a zillion other attractions.
Puppet show: Enjoy a drink while you watch a traditional puppet show or a Rajasthani music and dance performance in the evening.
Haveli walk: Walk around discovering new alleys of the 225 year old Haveli or take a dip in the infinity pool or laze around in the inviting jacuzzi.
