Unexpected and charming, Samode Haveli is a self-contained, intimate, heritage hotel, hidden deep in the folds of the busy streets of old Jaipur. A nobleman's urban abode restored to perfection, the Haveli emerges, as if from nowhere at the end of a narrow lane - an oasis of serenity in the depths of the lively city. Whenever you come to visit the treasures of Jaipur, this is the hotel you will want to make your home. A quintessential Indo-Saracenic regal residence, Samode Haveli is seeped in history and tradition, and yet offers its guests contemporary luxuries and the impeccable hospitality and courtesy that are the signature style of the Samode group of hotels. The regal ceremonial ramp welcomes you like it did the royal bridegrooms who came on elephants. The romance of this 175-year-old Haveli continues through a passage decorated with traditional memorabilia and leads you to a delightful central courtyard, overlooked by balconies from where women would watch the wedding procession and shower rose petals. Guests are ushered straight to this hub, lavishly decorated with traditional patterns hand-painted on the walls and ceilings and is the perfect spot to savour a cuppa, catch up on the news or simply sit back and let the wonder of Samode take over. A far cry from the hum of the city just beyond the gates!
Rooms Sink into a extravaganza, surrounded with patterned drapes in the lavishly decorated rooms and suites of Samode Haveli. The 39 rooms and suites of the Haveli reflect the rich history and culture of Samode. Each room has a distinctive character that invites you to lie back against luxurious bolsters on antique couches or sit back and flip through the channels on your TV screens. Built across many levels, the former royal apartments are now deluxe rooms and suites that have retained the exquisite luxuriousness of the past with contemporary amenities. The private courtyards and balconies look out upon the charming pool, fountain courts and gardens of the Haveli. Inside the rooms, the sparkling white marble is effectively offset by tasteful colour schemes, rich mosaic and painted arches. Old hunting photographs, family portraits, interesting coffee-table books and artifacts give you a taste of the royal life. The spectacular Sheesh Mahal (palace of mirrors) suite is a sensual treat with its curved arches, florid hand-painted murals and glistening mirror work. Rooms are designed to ensure that your comforts are met - a well stocked mini-bar, coffee and tea counters, generous wardrobe space and satellite television. The lavish en-suite bathrooms offer top-of-the-line facilities and a range of organic toiletries. Unwind in the bathtub surrounded with rose petals as you sip a glass of champagne - a perfect end to the day.
Food and Wine 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.
Things To Do Enjoy the understated elegance of Samode Haveli in the comfort of your room or venture out to explore this architectural wonder and its myriad charms. Lounge around in the poolside pavilions of the magical Moorish-style pool in traditional Indian day beds or take a dip in the cool blue water. The inviting Jacuzzi is the perfect place to unwind while the little ones splash around in the adjoining wading pool. The state-of-the-art spa offers Ayurvedic massages in comfortable rooms and there's a modern fitness centre and steam room to rejuvenate. Enjoy a drink while you watch a traditional puppet show or a Rajasthani music and dance performance in the evening. The historic city of Jaipur, offers visitors some of the most exciting sight-seeing and shopping opportunities in the world. 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.
