Heritage Hotels in Samode

Samode Palace

Samode is situated 45 kms from Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan. This small village is famous for its Samode Palace and Samode Bagh(Garden). The Nathawats of Samode played an important role in the durbar of Jaipur where they served as prime ministers. Their thikana, which is located in a charming village, is surrounded by fertile fields, while a ring of sharp hills was the seat for their fortifications. Awarded by one of the Kachchwaha rulers of Amber to one of his twelve sons four-and-a-half centuries ago, the palace became known for the high quality of its frescos, and particularly in the use of indigo colours, and the richly painted Durbar Hall. It is only recently that the fairytale palace was reconverted into a hotel.
