The Samode Haveli, is an ancient haveli that was built over 150 years ago
by Rawal Sheo Singhji, the then Prime Minister in the Jaipur court. He
belonged to the family of Samode, tracing their relation to the Jaipur
Maharaja the fabled Prithviraj Singh ji, the 17th prince of the Kacchawaha
Rajputs. The haveli is a majestic old mansion, adorned with beautiful
gardens, courtyards and terraces. The Samode Haveli is a grand house that
has inner courtyards and was originally built as a manor house for the royal
family of Samode. A architectural marvel, this haveli is north facing, thus
avoiding the harsh sun and remains cool. Another feature of the Samode
Haveli that intrigues the tourists is it's delightfully painted dining room
and an airy verandah. One will also notice an impressive elephant ramp,
right at the entrance of the Samode Haveli.
This Haveli was converted into a luxurious heritage hotel in 1988. With its
luxurious antique furniture and original art work, today, the haveli stands
as a reminder of the glorious past of the Samode family. This haveli has
today been converted to a hotel that has been meticulously restored into a
unique property. It has a warm and friendly atmosphere, with fabulous
frescoes and murals, and with a leafy garden. With its mix of romantic
history and simple style, Samode Haveli is one of the most sort after
destination in the pink city. The tourists simply love the local crafts
bazaar, which offers an array of items like blue pottery, hand block print,
embroidery, jewelery etc.
