Chidambara Vilas - A Luxury Heritage Resort

Nice experience Well maintained Heritage property with good service

We were there just 4 days back. It's a beautiful property and it's history adds to the experience. The staff was very professional and hospitable. The tour of the property by the general manager is very thorough and an experience in itself. The food is typical chettinad fare. All in all, a very memorable experience.

Wow, what a beautiful building. The history in this place is amazing. We did the tour of the hotel with a member of staff and it was so interesting. The staff were super friendly and very obliging. The food was good. The swimming pool looked super clean but we didn't have the time to use it. The outside bar area by the pool was good to mix with friends. The bedroom was amazing...a four poster bed. You could imagine how this building would have been so luxurious in it's hayday. This is definitely a hotel to cone and visit.

Exquisite! the restoration of chidambara violas. To stay at a chettiar palace and then the most interesting part was the history narration by senthil, the resort manager. The food was amazing and so was the staff.

We were at Chidambara Vilas in September 2024 for a 1 night stay. Unfortunately we stayed for less than 24 hours as my father became unwell and we had to return back to Delhi. However, based on our visit we were pleasantly surprised by the way the spacious rooms have been refurbished, in a very aesthetic and pleasing manner. The bathroom was large and spacious as was the common verandah in front of the room. Right from booking till the point at which we checked-in the communication with the hotel was quick. They also managed to pull out an old wheelchair for helping with movement of my father. The fact that the hotel has a lift will come as a big relief for those travelling with small children or elderly, - this really was very helpful. For a la cart dinner, the portion sizes were quite large. Since we checked out early morning on way to Trichy airport, on request the hotel staff were kind enough to pack a simple breakfast. We appreciated that they were flexible with the reasonable requests. The ground floor of the Vilas is beautiful and guests should definitely take a tour of the property. It was also very helpful that there was ample parking and a dorm for the driver and attendant. We hope to be able to go back to the property at some time in the future, if we pass through this part of Tamil Nadu. In terms of location, it was an ideal place for our planned journey break between Swamimalai and Rameshwaram. p.s.: Watch out for the monkeys!
