Ensconced high on a rising hill, the Savoy Hotel sprawls over six
acres of landscaped gardens, offering colonial style cottages that were built
between 1829-1865. Colorful flowerbeds merge to form a multi-coloured quilt
around the cottages, adding to their gentle refinement and old English Charm. A
quiet retreat, the Savoy Hotel offers a little pocket of paradise.

HistoryThe 'Queen of Hill Stations' Udhagamandalam, better known as Ooty, is
the most popular hill station in South India. Located in the Western
Ghats at a height of 2240 metres, Udhagamandalam is the headquarters of the
Nilgiri district. The Toda tribe has been living here since time immemorial, but
the credit for 'discovering' Ooty, making it accessible and developing it,
surely goes to the British. In 1822, John Sullivan, the then Collector of
Coimbatore, constructed the 'Stone House', which is now the Chamber of the
Principal of the Government Arts College and one of Ooty's better known
landmarks. Ooty was the summer capital of the Madras Presidency, in the
days of the British Raj.
The Hotel is just 10 minutes from the city center.
The nearest airport and major railway station are at Coimbatore, 98
kms away; a scenic 3 hour drive by car. From Chennai, guests can take the
overnight train to Mettupalayam, and then enjoy a 3-hour drive to Ooty or take
the delightful 5-hour toy train ride that passes through 9 tunnels and crosses
26 bridges and passes through dense forests. Ooty is a pleasant 7-hour
drive from Bangalore.
Taj Garden Retreat Coonoor, another idyllic retreat, is just an hour's drive.
A range of air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned luxury and regular transport
is available for airport and railway station transfers as well as for
