Samode Haveli, located in the heart of the old town, is one of the few boutique hotels in Jaipur, and has been created by the same family who have converted the Samode Palace just outside Jaipur. Coach tours often stop at the hotel for lunch, but as the hotel does not take overnight tour bookings the evenings are kept quiet and intimate. This hotel is a good base while in Jaipur.
The townhouse of the Samode family, this is another little gem, lying in the heart of Jaipur. Oozing charm and character, it is home to some fabulous frescoes and, with its pretty courtyards and leafy garden, it is difficult to believe that from this sanctuary you can stroll out into the bustling city streets. The bedrooms, some ingeniously created out of hidden parts of the palace, lie all over the rambling building and are superbly decorated, according to the owners’ impeccable taste – modern Rajasthani style at its best. Two of the suites are covered almost entirely in mirror-work from ceiling to floor and wall to wall. The exquisite swimming pool, with a beautiful poolside bar and supremely comfortable ‘salas’, is one of Jaipur’s finest and is a draw in itself. Perfectionists to the end, the family are constantly thinking up mouth watering new menus and looking for new wines to stock – any gourmet would be satisfied here.
The gentle and caring staff do their utmost to look after your every whim and, since the hotel does not allow groups, each guest receives constant attention and a sense of peace pervades the whole property. Waiting to welcome you, Samode Haveli is the only option for anyone wanting a delicious little boutique hotel in the middle of the old city.
