Taj Garden Retreat, Madurai
Author: Gunita Kakteniece0 COMMENTS
Madurai is the second largest city of Tamil Nadu, which means that tourist crowds in front of one of the most significant temples in the state and thousands of locals in the streets are just an inevitable evil. Taj Garden Retreat is located on the slope of Mount Pasumalai and boasts a breathtaking view of the city at your feet. You can lounge at the poolside in the middle of a succulent green garden, enjoying your perfect breakfast and feeling like the only living soul in a desert oasis, miles away from the hubbub of the city. The hotel (owned by the Taj chain) is dominated - outside and in - by more than a hundred year old architecture of the Raj era, complimented by certain modern day innovations. The grounds include tennis and badminton courts. The hotel restaurant features both Tamil and international cuisine.
Rates: single room from INR 5000 (approximately USD 126).
