We went in the sweltering month of May to Pondy just to celebrate my fathers 70 th birthday. After some initial confusion regarding the package deal and some telephone calls exchanged between the GM, the manager and me, we decided to spend two nights there... The Pros: 1. Excellent location right on the beach. 2. Beautiful old property which has... More

When i heard that Hidesign has designed the hotel i was keen to check it out during my next trip to Pondi which happened in March this year. Not the best time to go to Pondi, considering the yearlong summer starts peaking during March however given the fact it was our anniv, i gave it a shot. By the time... More

The seaside location of the promenade is just half the fun. All the best shopping and eating places are just a short walk away. Just as we were about to check into the promenade suite with our daughters who are 13 and 17, Vanaja who is actually incharge of house keeping suggested that we look at a couple of other... More

We stayed only for a night. Having stayed in 5 star hotels on this trip, our expectation was lower at this hotel. The room is good size, bog standard. Bathroom is very small and not particularly that clean. The air-conditioning is also quite poor. The roof top restaurant is delightful. Good food in a very nice setting. Overall, an average... More

Occupying a central position oppposite the lively pedestrianised promenade [between 6pm to 6am aprox.] the Promenade has an unrivalled position. Surrounded by the picturesque French quarter the hotel has a pleasant buzzy feel. Our room was clean ,comfortable, spacious and adequately equipped. The buffet breakfast was good , the lively staff friendly and helpful. A very pleasant couple of days. More

The Hotel at a great location on the promeade right in the Old City of Pondicherry. The rooms are fairly standard but more than good enough. The highlight in the decor is the use of leather as the owners also own one of the countries leading leather goods manufacturers; HiDesign. There is a ground level restaurant and a rooftop bar/restaurant... More

We are at present staying at the Promenade. The hotel is ideally situated right on the sea face. The staff is courteous, restaurant serves good food with a great choice between Indian & Continental/ Chinese cuisines. Get to the room & on first look it looks nice with lovely windows facing the sea. Look at the bed linen it's all... More

The name is well-chosen. The hotel is right on the oceanfront promenade, which is closed to cars evenings and nights. Thousands of people stroll up and down the promenade during the cooler hours of the day. It was very enjoyable to join them, and to see happy families, mostly Indian, hanging out together. The hotel itself was comfortable, but our... More
