In depth Tamil Nadu
An immersive journey through Tamil Nadu, taking time to explore the famous sites but also little known rural Dindigul and Chettinad.
Situated in the historic French quarter of Pondicherry, Palais de Mahe is just a short walk from the lively promenade and Bay of Bengal seafront. Aside from the ideal location, it has a relaxing ambience, top quality food and friendly staff within its colonial walls.
Resembling a traditional French-style mansion with yellow and white exteriors, inside you’ll find rooms adorned with local art mixed with modern touches. An inviting pool sits in the centre of the courtyard of which rooms face down on; an ideal spot to relax and cool off, or perhaps you may want to head up to the rooftop terrace for views over the town. Sip a drink at the cocktail bar or Earth cafe, while the Les Alizes’ restaurant is known for its delicious Indian dishes with European twists. If you’re looking for fresh seafood, the chefs select it daily from the boats coming in at the nearby harbour and plan meals around the catch of the day. Outside the hotel, close by you can venture to churches, parks, markets, eateries and places to shop.
Fitting with the colonial theme, rooms are period-style, with traditional high ceilings, roof beams and arched doorways, while mixing the old with the new. They are all fitted with sitting areas, modern and indulgent bathrooms and a lot of space.
Are you looking for an ideal location, attentive staff and wonderful facilities? Palais de Mahe is the perfect choice for your visit to Pondicherry.
