About Samode Haveli

History

Rawal Sheo Singhji, prime minister to the Jaipur court, built this north-facing city mansion in 1740 so the Samode family could catch the breeze off the old town. Shekhawati frescoes, mirror mosaics, and nested courtyards still do the talking. An elephant ramp arrived in 1940, a ceremonial slope for a house that had never stopped being a home.

In 1988 the haveli opened as a hotel and kept a private wing for the descendants. Fifty keys now share the painted rooms with the family that built them. You sleep in a minister's town house that never quite stopped being one.

The setting

2 km from Hawa Mahal.
