The Bangala

Why we like The Bangala

A totally authentic, “old school” experience.

Facilities

The Bangala is a charming little hotel, famous for its exceptional cuisine and historic, family history.

The Bangala has 21 simple but charming rooms scattered all around a rambling building which is made up of various wings and annexes. The rooms centre around a central garden looked upon by an open-sided dining room which offers up unbelievably delicious and world famous Chettinad cuisine. The garden then leads through to a very pretty swimming pool in a walled garden which, in turn, leads into a lovely, peaceful, leafy vegetable garden which is a treat to stroll through, as you spot all the organic produce that you are about to consume.

There are airy verandahs and winding corridors and spacious rooftops and the club atmosphere of old still permeates the premises. It’s wonderful to be able to walk out into the bustling market square without having to get in a car and to explore the fabulous antique shops and fascinating architecture of the area.

The Bangala is run as a household and a home, rather than as a formal hotel. A guest immediately feels welcome and involved in their ambition to reveal the region’s secrets to you and it is a treat to stay here.
