Havelis

Ahmedabad is renowned as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its historic walled city. Founded by Ahmad Shah I in 1411, the city is a treasure trove of historic landmarks, centuries-old architecture, and diverse industries that have developed over the years. Mangaldas ni Haveli I is a fine example of the city's heritage; this 350-year-old house is filled with details, such as intricate wood carvings that cover almost every inch of the haveli. The majesty of the haveli will have guests awed, but the comfort and homey ambiance of the bedrooms will leave them relaxed and energized for exploring the city. Don't forget to take advantage of the haveli's breakfast options, offered in delicious local and international cuisines.

Equivalent to the manors and chateaus of Europe, havelis were mansion residences to nobles and merchants who served the Rajput rulers of India. Samode Haveli is one property, built in 1799 by the Rawal clan who served the rulers of Jaipur. Enduring over two centuries, the property serves as the clan's ancestral home. While the top two floors are reserved as the Rawals' residence, the lower levels are open as traditional stays. Aside from Samode Haveli, they also operate Samode Bagh and Samode Palace.

The distinct Rajput aesthetics blend with Indo-Saracen touches, with grand halls decorated by paintings and furniture from the late 19th century. Local artists collaborate with Samode Haveli to preserve its treasured heritage.
