Looked like the perfect setting for morning yoga, until they started biting... :-\ still, managed what was probably my longest headstand. Nice of the hotel to provide yoga mats in every room....

Absolutely amazing meal. Haute cuisine, Chettinad style. Have rarely had food this good. All vegan of course. Stuffed lady's fingers with tomato chutney, tandoori tomato soup, stuffed baby aubergines and a daal and fried unknown veg with rice. Absolutely delicious!! This hotel totally lives up to the hype on the Lonely Planet guide!
