Beautiful Design of the Samode Haveli

Samode Haveli is a grand mansion located in the walled city of Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. It was built in the 16th century as a Rajput fort but was later used as a residence by the rulers of Samode. The word ”haveli” originates from Arabic and refers to a mansion with historical and architectural significance in India. Set in a lavish garden with apartments arranged around a series of courtyards, Samode Haveli serves both as a hotel and an ancestral royal residence today.

The Samode Haveli

In the heart of bustling Jaipur, The Samode Haveli is tucked away down a side street in the ‘Old City’. In our eyes it is an oasis of calm in an otherwise very hot and sweaty city!

In the past year we’ve luckily managed to spend quite a lot of time there. So when we arrived this time we were treated like long lost friends.

Samode used to be a privately owned manor house for the Royal family but has since been restored into a charming hotel, beautifully managing to retain all it’s original style and elegance.

They do a great bloody mary and the food is delicious (the Dal Makhani being a big favourite)

For us, its the people that work there that make the Haveli so wonderful. A special mention has to be made to Tapash Thapa, one of the fabulous waiters in the restaurant. Whether it was force feeding us an extra waffle at breakfast, remembering exactly what we liked, or generally just having a good chinwag, he is ace, as is the rest of the team. So thank you.

We cant wait till next time.
