Samode Palace is one of India's finest heritage hotels, located on a hill overlooking the small town of Samode set in beautiful countryside. Just an hour's drive from Jaipur, Samode is an ideal introduction to rural Rajasthan and is an excellent addition to a tour of India's Golden Triangle.
The 150 year old palace is a magnificent example of Rajput-Mughal architecture and has been meticulously restored. The palace is a true labyrinth of corridors, stairways, terraces and courtyards. The spacious rooms with marble, mosaic floorings, high ceilings, cotton woven rugs "durries", antiques and beautifully carved four poster beds provide a sense of luxury. All have ensuite bathrooms, TV, tea and coffee making facilities and are air conditioned. There are deluxe rooms and larger deluxe suites with private balcony or patio, while the opulent royal suites also have a jacuzzi and their own courtyard. All rooms are tastefully decorated in palatial style.
There are 2 restaurants, serving a range of Indian and international cuisine. The new dining room specialises in a la carte dishes. Samode Palace has 2 swiimming pools - the large main pool, where snacks are served during the day, and the roof terrace pool. Guests are also welcome to relax in the library, sample treatments at the small spa or use the gym.
Samode Palace is an ideal base for exploring the old houses and winding streets of the attractive walled town of Samode, for strolling in the hills around the hotel and for experiencing the charm of rural India.
