SeleQtions - Southern Hillock

A chorus of cicadas rings through the trees, heralding season's and your arrival at the Savoy, Ooty. This Colonial getaway tempts you to leave the real world behind and immerse yourself in a simpler time, where leisurely explorations of green plantations and quiet evenings sipping tea are the most pressing things to do. Ascend into the beautiful hills that were once the favoured winter escape for nobility and discover a charming slice of Colonial India at the Gateway Coonoor, the hill station’s crowning glory. Sip on a tea from the estates that carpet the hills outside as you relax in the quaint interiors of our Colonial-style getaway. The cool evenings are perfect for leisurely strolls through the countryside, immersed in nature’s beauty, but you will be tempted back by the exotic aromas of our chef’s innovative interpretations of the local cuisine. On this mountain trail your next destination, Gateway Chikmagalur, is a classic Colonial retreat nestled amid the picturesque Nilgiris. From the moment you arrive, you will know why these hills were a favoured getaway for the British. Follow in their footsteps and escape the heat of the plains amid the misty hills and lush woods that add to the allure of this quaint little town.
