Southern India
Savoy Ooty
The Savoy, Ooty, is a charming heritage retreat set amid six acres of manicured gardens in the cool, misty Nilgiri Hills. Established in 1829, the property’s Victorian‑era architecture and cottage‑style accommodations evoke the elegance of the British colonial period, offering an idyllic escape in one of South India’s most celebrated hill stations.
The hotel provides sweeping views of the Blue Mountains, a tranquil atmosphere, and easy access to Ooty’s natural beauty. Guests can enjoy refined dining at the hotel’s heritage restaurant, relax in the gardens, or unwind with wellness therapies and leisurely activities. With its blend of history, character, and contemporary comfort, the Savoy is an ideal base for exploring the surrounding tea estates, forests, and mountain landscapes.
