Three-and-a-half-pearl Samode Haveli is a beautiful historic hotel with a wealth of original features and impressive traditional design elements. The location is spot on too, just inside the Old City walls and a 10-minute drive to many attractions. There's always something to catch the eye here, from the pretty courtyards to the impressive lounge covered in hand-painted frescoes and the 39 spacious rooms. A grand restaurant serves both local and international dishes, and afternoon tea can be taken on the leafy terrace. The outdoor pool is large by city standards, and other facilities include a gym, yoga studio, spa, and business center. It's a serene place once within the estate, but guests after a quieter location could check out Trident Hotel, which sits on the banks of Mansagar Lake.
