Top tips to trace the best luxury resorts in Munnar

Munnar is one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. Known for its idyllic hill stations and mesmerising beauty, it is a place that everyone wishes to visit at least once in a lifetime. With so many places to stay, a few questions help you find the right one.

1. Look at the view, not just the room

In Munnar the landscape is the reason you came. Ask whether rooms look out over the hills, whether they have a balcony, and where the common spaces face. At The Munnar Queen the pool and restaurant are on the roof, and the terrace is our viewpoint for sunrise and sunset.

2. Check how far you are from town and the sights

Some resorts are deep in the estates, others close to town. Chithirapuram, where we are, is about seven kilometres from Munnar town, on the way to the Thekkady road and within easy reach of Eravikulam, Mattupetty and Top Station.

3. Ask what is included

Compare the rate with what it covers. Our published tariff includes breakfast and taxes, and every room has free Wi-Fi and a tea and coffee maker.

4. Think about how you will spend the evenings

Hill evenings are cool and early. A restaurant on site, a campfire, a spa and indoor games make a real difference, especially with children.

5. Talk to the front desk

A good resort will answer questions before you book: room types, cancellation, getting there. Call or WhatsApp us on +91 90485 33333, and we will help you choose.
