Each room at Samode Haveli is unique, with traditional decor, hand-painted murals and features such as pillars, arches and seating which give a nod to the original use of the building.

Both the Deluxe rooms and Suites are spacious and comfortable, while the Sheesh Mahal ('place of mirrors') room is completely mirrored. All rooms have either a private balcony or terrace looking out to the property's pool, fountains and gardens, has an en suite bathroom, and amenities such as a satellite TV, minibar and tea/coffee making facilities.

Location

Samode Haveli is located within the walled city of central Jaipur. The area is busy with bustling markets and local shops nearby, which can be explored on foot.

Food and drink

The former royal dining hall, with its beautiful hand-painted murals, now serves as the hotel restaurant, serving a choice between traditional Rajasthani fare and international cuisine. You can also take afternoon tea on the sheltered veranda. Cocktails and other beverages can also be enjoyed, perhaps while relaxing by the pool on comfortable day beds.

Families

For younger members of the family the hotel has a splash pool, and in the evening children can watch traditional puppet shows.
