Visalam is the epitome of Chettiar comfort and cool. Relatively young by Chettinadu standards, this 1930s mansion has been painstakingly restored by Kerala’s CGH Group; service and comfort levels are high, with modern amenities breathing life into the alluring Art Deco original features. 15 elegant rooms are set amongst beautiful bougainvillea-filled gardens, with onsite facilities including a large pool, accompanying café, and excellent restaurant.
