Samode Palace is a heritage luxury hotel, set in the rugged Aravalli hills, about an hour’s drive north of Jaipur. Owned by the royal family of Samode, this 16th-century palace is a perfect example of Rajput-Moghul architecture, with filigree-edged archways, a succession of courtyards and frescoed walls. Beautifully renovated, this opulent palace hotel is perfect for travellers who prefer to stay in a rural atmosphere, offering peace and solitude and yet be close to the city’s tourist highlights.
Accessed through the traditional arched gateway, Samode Palace houses 43 spacious, air-conditioned rooms and suites. All feature elaborate hand-painted walls, marble mosaic-patterned floors covered with cotton rugs and latticework windows. Guests have a choice of two restaurants with buffet or a la carte menu, serving Rajasthani, Indian and Western dishes. The beautiful bar with comfortable seating has a large wine cellar with a selection of fine wines.
There is a superb marble and mosaic rooftop swimming pool with views over the Aravalli mountain range. For ultimate relaxation, there is Samode Spa offering a range of Ayurvedic therapies. Take a tour of the Samode Palace and see its intricately painted Darbar Hall where erstwhile kings gave audiences to their subjects and the magnificent Sheesh Mahal, or hall of mirrors. In the surrounds is the Samode village, the hilltop Samode fort and opportunities camel and horse riding safaris.
