Heritage Madurai
A leafy oasis with a rich history
Heritage Madurai is spread over 17 acres of grounds filled with trees which provide shade on the hottest days.
Dating back 2,500 years, Madurai is one of India’s most ancient cities. At the heart of the city is Heritage Madurai, formerly the Madurai Club. The property has been restored by Vinod Jayasinghe, a prodigy of famous architect, Geoffrey Bawa. It’s a great base for exploring Madurai’s famous buildings including the Meenaskhi Temple, the Gandhi Memorial Museum and Thirumalai Nayak Palace. After city explorations, a visit to the spa will leave you feeling rejuvenated.
Why we love Heritage Madurai
-
An oasis of calm in the heart of Madurai
-
The Heritage Madurai was created in 1923 by textile company Madurai Mills as a social club for its staff
-
Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawain in his design for a new clubhouse used local materials such as honey-coloured granite from the nearby hills
-
The hotel’s inviting swimming pool has been designed to replicate the temple tank at the Thirumalai Temple
Facilities
Head to the coffee shop for freshly baked cookies and sandwiches or sample the buffet of Western and local dishes at The Banyan Restaurant. For a taste of British Madurai, finish your evening at Swig and Tee, the hotel’s bar, part of the original clubhouse main building.
After exploring, you may want to check out the treatments available at the hotel’s Jasmine Spa. Using ingredients from native fruits and flowers the therapies are based on aromatherapy.
After exploring the city sights, use one of the bicycles for a quiet pedal or go for a walk and listen to the birdsong in the extensive grounds.
