December 30, 2013: Samode Hotels, a heritage hotel group from Rajasthan, announced their strategic alliance with Relais & Chateaux, an association of the world’s finest hoteliers, chefs and restaurateurs. This alliance has been signed for Samode Safari Lodge Bandhavgarh (Madhya Pradesh), a luxury property of Samode Hotels.
The Samode Safari Lodge at Bandhavgarh is a luxury retreat located adjacent to the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve known to have the highest density of tigers in the world. The property consists of 12 villas and two main lodges with spacious lounges that open onto wooden decks. Committed to eco-tourism, the owners have used only natural materials while building the Safari Lodge with elements of regional art and architecture along with eco-friendly landscaping and water systems.
With the alliance of these two brands, Samode Safari Lodge will now be able to leverage the global brand presence as well as the sales and marketing infrastructure of Relais & Chateaux. This association would also strengthen the electronic distribution services for property reservations and create visibility among Relais & Chateaux customers worldwide. Relais & Chateaux on the other hand has added yet another discerning member to their association taking the number of Indian members to five properties.
