Heritage Hotels in Samode
Samode - Introduction
Samode is situated in the royal Indian state of Rajasthan
around 42 km from Jaipur, the capital city. Located on way
to Shekhawati, this small village is famous for its haveli
and fort. Samode is connected to Jaipur through a good
network of roads.
Heritage Hotels of Samode
Unlike the other havelis of Rajasthan, the Samode Palace
does not belong to any royal family but a family of
noblemen, the Rawals of Samode. It is about four hundred
years old, and has some new additions and modifications.
This family traces its descent to Prithvi Singh of Amber
(1503-1528), the seventeenth prince of the house of Kachwaha
Rajputs, who in turn trace their descent to Lord Rama. Gopal
Singh, one of the 12 sons of Prithvi Singh, was given Samode,
which owed loyalty to the rulers of Amber and Jaipur. These
noblemen of Samode were bestowed the title of 'Maha Rawal',
in place of just 'Rawal' by the royal family for their
bravery and loyalty towards the royal family.
Samode Palace
Samode Palace is one of India's most charming and
romantic hotels. It offers a quiet, elegant and luxurious
atmosphere. Considered India's finest hotel for its
consummate standards of modern hospitality, accommodation,
services, cuisine and amenities, it is the flagship of the
Samode Hotels.
The Samode Palace hotel maintains an immutable majestic
presence and is a touching reminder of the vision of its
creators.
Samode Bagh
Around four km from Samode, en-route to the main
Jaipur-Agra road is Samode Bagh, a large formal garden that
is being restored and is often used by film crews for
shooting. Samode Bagh is a garden paradise nestled on 20
acres of landscaped garden. The hotel combines warmth and
luxury, an atmosphere that is quiet, relaxed & elegant. |
