Hotel Review: Samode Palace & Samode Bagh

Just 42 kilometres from Jaipur, in the shadow of the Aravalli Hills, lies a destination where history whispers through frescoed walls and nature unfurls across Arabesque-inspired Mughal gardens. Samode Palace and Samode Bagh are more than venues—they are sanctuaries of timeless elegance where weddings transform into royal celebrations.

Together, these sister properties offer the ideal blend of grandeur and serenity for couples seeking a wedding steeped in romance and heritage. Samode Palace—over 400 years old and gracefully restored—stands as a jewel of Indo-Saracenic architecture with mirror-work halls, antique murals, and regal courtyards. Once the residence of noblemen, the palace now offers 43 individually-styled rooms and suites, many within the main palace building and former stables. Each space, from the opulent Royal Suite with a private balcony and a Jacuzzi to the elegantly adorned deluxe rooms, tells its own story of royal legacy.

A short seven-minute drive through the countryside leads to Samode Bagh, a sublime retreat set within Rajasthan’s oldest operational Mughal-style garden. Designed as a sanctuary of nature and stillness, it unfolds across groves of citrus and pomegranate trees, around water channels and shaded walkways. Here, 44 luxurious tents and 27 garden suites offer a refined glamping experience, seamlessly blending contemporary comforts with the soulful charm of the outdoors.

The Bagh’s immersive setting invites a slower rhythm, where celebrations take on a relaxed, almost dreamlike quality. As a standalone venue for a more intimate celebration or booked together for a larger group of invited family and friends, Samode Palace and Samode Bagh create a canvas for wedding festivities that are both regal and rooted. Whether exchanging vows under frescoed ceilings or dancing beneath the neem trees, couples find not just a venue—but a feeling, a story, a setting where their most important moments are held in beauty and meaning.

Personalised Guest Services

At Samode, hospitality is graceful and personal. From private airport transfers and dedicated butlers to curated village walks, every experience is thoughtfully tailored. At the Palace, guests indulge in sunset processions, live folk performances, and fireworks that light up the Aravalli hills. At the Bagh, days unfold at a gentler pace, with picnic-style brunches on sun-dappled lawns, relaxing spa rituals, and evening cocktails on the terrace.

Grand Celebration

Experiences, shaped by a sense of place and a deep understanding of celebration. Whether it’s a stately procession through frescoed courtyards or an al fresco brunch beneath flowering neem trees, each moment unfolds with thoughtful rhythm and effortless grace.

Here, tradition is not staged—it’s seamlessly woven into the fabric of every detail, evoking a quiet sense of belonging. One celebration may glitter beneath crystal chandeliers, while another may be serenaded by the rustle of leaves and the warmth of desert winds. What unites them all is the unmistakable soul of Samode—a space where beauty feels personal, and every element carries meaning.

Bespoke Dining Experiences

Signature wedding menus: The culinary philosophy of Samode is rooted in the land itself. Both properties have traditional kitchen gardens. At Samode Palace, dine like royalty with Rajasthani thalis, and global and tailored wedding menus.

Interactive & immersive dining: At Samode Bagh, dining is more relaxed yet equally refined. Think live barbecues under the stars, curated brunches in the garden, and themed evenings like “Twilight Harvest” that transport guests with every bite.

Exquisite banquets: At the Palace, the grand Durbar Hall hosts regal banquets, while open-air courtyard dinners are lit by romance. At the Bagh, a new reception hall takes in up to 400 guests for indoor events, with garden brunches and dinners.
