A freshly crafted gem in the heart of Puducherry’s French Quarter, Palais de Mahe combines the flavours of Southern India with French flair. Resembling a charming French mansion, the luxury hotel is a lovely edition to the CGH Earth family owned hotel group and just steps away from the seaside promenade along the Bay of Bengal and the charming colonial villas of the French Quarter.
With high ceilings, arched doorways, tiled floors and deep verandahs throughout, the hotel boasts 18 spacious rooms with modern room appointments. Large free-standing four poster beds, flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning and tea-and-coffee making facilities come as standard.
The hotel also offers an inviting swimming pool within the courtyard – the perfect place to cool off. While the hotel’s Ayurveda centre is a must after a busy day of sightseeing. Only in Puducherry can you order a rich fusion of Indo-French cuisine, and there’s no better place to enjoy it than in the hotel’s rooftop restaurant Les Alice, complete with sea breeze and sweeping views.
