Hotel De L'Orient - An Indo French boutique hotel

Whenever we are in Pondicherry, we love to stay at one of those cute, homely hotels or homestays that line the French streets.

During one of the recent trips, we discovered this little gem in the quaint white town area of Pondicherry town.

Hotel De L'Orient by Neemrana

Simple entrance

Wooden caretaker @the reception gave us a warm welcome!

Love love love this...Wooden box used for the mini kettle and other stuff.

Viewing the moon from the cute li'l balcony.

Room Decor. So cozy and warm.

The Neemrana Store

Lovely paper coasters

The romantic bath...I so loved the gradient effect on the walls.

Umbrellas!!!!

Neemrana refers to their properties as Non Hotel Hotels...which is true to the core.
This beautiful hotel was an 18th century colonial mansion in the French Town area of Pondicherry. 

Each room is named after former French colonies in British India - Calicut, Karaikal, Surate,Balassore, Kasim Bazaar, Mahe,Cannanore(The one featured here) etc.

Check out their other properties here - Neemrana

Each and every one looks so beautiful and tempting. I am eyeing these to name a few - The Bungalow on The Beach @ Tranquebar, The Pataudi Palace, Glass House on the Ganges and The Gate House.

  3. Actually, the names of the rooms are from French colonial holdings, not British.
