This hotel was a colonial villa in Kodaikanal that was converted to a resort by Mahindra Holidays and Resorts India Ltd. The resort spreads over two rolling acres and offers breathtaking views of the sunrise and the plains below. The misty night view of the twinkling lights of the little towns below is enchanting. Surrounded by greenery and sheltered from the rest of the world, this lovely hotel is still close to the lake and shopping areas.
