Samode Palace

Painted archways, mirrored ceilings, and carved sandstone that has been collecting compliments for four centuries: Samode Palace is a heritage luxury hotel in the rocky hills about an hour from Jaipur, and it does not do understatement. Royal Suites run to fireplaces and Jacuzzis; even the standard suites often come with balconies overlooking scenery that looks like a movie set. An Ayurvedic spa, a pool, and camel tours fill the days. Bring cash and a willingness to go offline.
