Don’t visit a palace, live like a king and queen
Anyone who has visited Buckingham Palace in London, The Doge’s Palace in Venice or Versailles in Paris can get a glimpse into the world of monarchs. But if you want to experience the life of royalty, sleep in the same bedroom, eat the same traditional food, and be treated like a Rajah and Rani, Chittoor Kottaram is a unique and breathtakingly beautiful building where that can come true. Set in a serene riverside location, with the grandeur you would imagine of a royal mansion…but it’s you living that life, being served, being taken on the boat ride and watching a cultural dance. Unlike other hotels, you have the whole place to yourself. You have all the staff for yourself. You have all the rooms, bathrooms, suites, private plunge pool, the artwork, the lush grounds, the verandahs, the balconies…the whole experience. The staff were attentive, nothing was too much trouble. The property is close to Kochi town, which is only $3 by Uber. The rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable, bathrooms large and clean.
