In the 'Carte Blanche' restaurant you can see rare old maps while savouring the renowned Creole cuisine, where Tamil spices mix with French restraint.

The rooms are pretty and romantic. All are different and air-conditioned  with en-suite bathrooms. The old Chettinad plaster has been retained and the walls painted in cracked yellows, pinks and peppermint greens. Ceilings are high, doors tall and, in some rooms the beams have been left exposed.
