The central pool is surrounded by restored frescoes, open all year, lit in the evening by copper lanterns.

Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend Samode Haveli to travellers seeking Rajput authenticity without sacrificing modern comfort, couples on cultural trips, fans of Mughal architecture. It is an address for those who want to sleep in a historic monument while staying close to the sites, without the hustle of chain hotels. Families appreciate the space of the suites and the pool, but the atmosphere remains calm, conducive to romantic stays.

Typical Rajput architecture: inner courtyards with colonnades, pointed arches, sculpted sandstone jalis. Shekhawati frescoes restored in the 1990s, depicting hunting scenes and floral motifs. The 120 rooms occupy three wings around the courtyards, ceiling height between 3.5 and 4.5 metres, white and red marble floors.
