Situated in the heart of the old "Ville Blanche" (white town) of French Pondicherry, at 5 Rue de la Caserne, is one of India's most striking designer hotels.
Constructed in the 18th century as the residence of the Mayor of Pondicherry, the building stands white and majestic on an important corner of the French town. It is located just a few blocks from the shimmering waters of the Indian Ocean and Pondicherry's famous leafy park. The central shopping district is just around the corner, too, as are a number of restaurants and coffee shops.
14 elegant suites, each with its own character. No two rooms are alike. Every detail has a purpose. The result is a hotel that surprises at every turn.
