SAMODE HAVELI HERITAGE JAIPUR

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.

History
Facing North, away from the scorching Rajasthan sun, Samode Haveli was built over 175 years ago within the city of Jaipur by Rawal Sheo Singhji as the manor house for the royal family. It reflected the style and elegance of the family and the art and architecture of the times and culture, all of which have been impressively restored today. A special feature of the Haveli, the elephant ramp at the entrance, was constructed in the 1940's for the marriage ceremony of the late Rawal Sahib's aunt.

LOCATION & ACCESS
Samode Haveli lies in the heart of the walled city of Jaipur in the state of Rajasthan in North India.
Access:
Haveli - Jaipur Airport: 17 kms
Haveli - Jaipur Railway Station: 6 kms 
Haveli - New Delhi Indira Gandhi lnternational Airport: 250 kms (5 hr drive)

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 & 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 center 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. Sight-seeing trips and tours can be tailor-made to suit your needs. Just state your preferences - our staff will be more than willing to help.
