Accommodation in
Karnataka and Tamil Nadu,
India
Formerly the Chittaranjan Palace, this small friendly hotel was originally built for the princesses of Mysore but today provides travellers with a refreshing alternative to the larger chain properties. Light filters through stained-glass windows into public rooms filled with huge pieces of antique furniture, and the seven guest rooms are individually decorated with their own subtle theme. The shady veranda is the perfect place to enjoy a gin and tonic with a clear conscience as all profits from your stay support local community projects in India.
