Ayatana, a premium chain of boutique hotels and luxury resorts in South India, has announced the opening of their newest property in Ooty, Tamil Nadu. Ayatana aims to provide an authentic and culturally rich experience to its guests, with each property inspired by its surroundings. The latest addition to the Ayatana family, the Ooty property, is an epitome of luxury colonial heritage, offering a unique escape to guests.
The picturesque Ayatana resort is located in Ooty, a quaint town in the Nilgiris Hills famous for its tea plantations, colonial influence, and being the old Madras Presidency summer capital. The property is marked by a magnificent red stone-cladding wall at the entrance, creating a sense of intrigue and mystery. The interiors incorporate contemporary colonial elements with grand welcoming lobbies and accent stone walls, providing a rustic countryside charm to the establishment.
The luxurious lodges are carefully designed to infuse intricacies of the local culture, providing a holistic, vibrant, and authentic experience of the region. The suites, Standard and Deluxe, offer spacious accommodations of 520 sq ft and 600 sq ft respectively. The rooms are adorned with traditionally embroidered soft furnishings made by local Toda tribeswomen, showcasing the heritage and culture of Ooty. The property features an array of amenities such as a 19m x 7m swimming pool, a spa, conference facilities spanning across 1,640 sq ft, and 30 extra bed or mattress facilities.
Speaking about the Ooty launch, Vishal Tony, the Founder of Ayatana, said, "We are thrilled to announce the launch of our second property in Tamil Nadu, inspired by the region's colonial heritage. We aim to provide our guests with an authentic and revitalizing experience. Our goal is to create unforgettable memories that guests will cherish for a lifetime. We chose Ooty as our destination because of its beautiful landscapes, tea estates, and a rich cultural history. It is an ideal summer break destination for families and couples alike.” In 2022 Ayatana Hospitality had launched its first luxury resort Coorg and presently with the Ooty property launch Ayatana is expanding in the South India with many other upcoming projects in the pipeline.
