Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
A superb new modern hotel where the ten rooms tick all the contemporary design boxes,
with clean lines, high ceilings and stylish fittings; the expansive hotel grounds are fringed
by coconut palms. Staff are very welcoming and meals are excellent, though no meat, eggs
or alcohol are served.
It's rightfully the top choice in town for those who have a generous accommodation
budget.
Subhas
HOTEL
with air-con Rs 4000-7900; )
Straight out of the Soviet school of architecture, this concrete hotel is actually a pretty
good bet if you want a central location. There are four classes of rooms, from dark and
few-frills to modern and spacious with fancy furnishings.
The dining room is a bit of an afterthought at the rear of the compound; there are better
places to eat in town close by.
Lux Etoiles
HOTEL
4070-6270; )
Set on a quiet suburban street, initial impressions are good - there's a vintage Austin auto-
mobile in the lobby that seems to be more an art statement than a representation of a place
to park. However, the smallish tiled rooms are plain and pretty overpriced for what you
get.
The large pool is big enough for laps, but not really the place to lounge with a cocktail.
Fits Pavilion
HOTEL
fast Rs 8500/10,348/12,200; )
A stylish converted villa, with seven tastefully decorated rooms that feature handsome
dark wood furniture and ochre paintwork, and a lovely lounge with tribal artefacts.
However, it lacks somewhat in terms of atmosphere and service. Excellent food is avail-
able, including filling Western breakfasts.
