"A 225-year-old painted haveli in old Jaipur"
Samode Haveli has been the Jaipur home of the Samode family for around 225 years, tucked down a lane in the old walled city. Behind its gates: courtyards hung with bougainvillea, corridors and rooms covered in hand-painted murals, terraces over the rooftops of the old town, and a central courtyard where the tables are set around a lotus fountain and lit by candles at dusk. Grand in the intimate, lived-in way only a real family home can be — not a hotel dressed as a palace, but the house itself.
Some facilities and experiences may be chargeable.
Samode Haveli is nestled in a serene corner of old Jaipur, within walking distance of the old city's textile, art and craft heritage and local markets. The Samode team offers complimentary guided walks of old Jaipur.
The hotel describes itself as a 225-year-old architectural marvel of regal Rajasthani grandeur, with intricately hand-painted murals, bougainvillea courtyards and terraces offering panoramic views of the city.
There are 50 rooms, classified as Deluxe Rooms, Deluxe Suites, the Haveli Suite and the Sheesh Mahal, spread across three sections of the haveli. Rooms feature period or four-poster beds and marble bathrooms with standalone bathtubs.
The two Sheesh Mahal suites are the top category, featuring original fresco works and stunning mirror work — described by the hotel as ideal for honeymooners.
The signature restaurant serves an elaborate breakfast buffet, with lunch and dinner as buffet or à la carte. There is a poolside bar, a lobby bar among fruiting trees and fountains, and private dining by the pool or at the private stepwell.
Original fresco works and stunning mirror work — the haveli's most enchanting rooms.

A classified heritage hotel at Rohet near Jodhpur, held by the same family since 1622 and receiving guests since 1990. Frescoed rooms, a courtyard pool, a family kitchen with its own cookbook, and a Marwari stable the family calls among the country's finest.
By enquiry A century-old Shekhawati haveli in Churu, restored into a heritage hotel. Aquamarine stucco, carved balconies and muralled rooms, with the painted town and the desert on the doorstep.
By enquiry A Portuguese house of around 1919 at Siridao bridge in Goa Velha, lovingly restored from 2014 by local artisans and reborn as a six-room boutique hotel. Expect a courtyard pool between red arcaded wings, a waterfront cafe with a pastry chef they say is Le Cordon Bleu certified, five resident dogs and the sort of quiet that North Goa's beach belt forgot.
