“Nestled in the Western Ghats, this is an excellent getaway for both business and leisure, with nature in full bloom. The cliffside location provides breathtaking views, complemented by wellness facilities that include yoga and spa treatments. While the hotel exudes a unique old-world charm, the rooms can feel dated, though the on-site restaurants are noteworthy.”
