Exclusive and discreet, Samode Palace has been host to celebrities, royalty, artists, and the discriminating traveller. A splendid example of regal Indo-Saracenic architecture, the Palace combines the best of Indian and Mughal styles. The 475-year-old palace is a celebration of the senses, underlined at all times by contemporary luxury and the signature service of Samode hotels - a magical hospitality and rare courtesy. Guests are known to want to lose themselves in the maze of bougainvillea covered courtyards, connected by quaint narrow staircases and chance upon lounges adorned by charming arches, stunning mirror work, exquisitely painted walls and ceilings. Royal suites and rooms surround the courtyards, each with their unique personality and décor.

Under the impressive Sheogarh Fort, the private balconies, restaurants and dining areas, and the intriguing pools - open out to the sky on clear days and starlit nights. You may come to Samode Palace to soak in the glorious luxury, celebrate an occasion, host a spectacular wedding, but mostly, you may just want to be, for being at Samode transforms you. Awaken to the quiet dawn, or have a cocktail on the terrace garden to the accompaniment of folk musicians. Run your fingers across the intricate story of an ancient mural on an uneven wall. Emerge from a gentle healing massage at the spa, or perhaps just sink into the lavish bed in your room. Samode Palace works its magic on you.
