Gateway Madurai

Gateway Madurai

The Gateway Hotel Madurai, a heritage property dating back to 1890, was once the residence of a British textiles magnate. Its colonial-style whitewashed buildings are set within 62 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, where resident peacocks roam freely. Perched atop Pasumalai Hill, the hotel offers panoramic views of the city below and the surrounding Kodai Hills. It’s an ideal retreat for relaxation after a day spent exploring the historic wonders of Madurai.

With 63 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, this heritage property seamlessly combines contemporary design with colonial charm, offering tranquil views of the gardens and the city. Rich wooden accents and warm lighting create a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Savor both local and international cuisine at Vista, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, or enjoy a romantic dinner at The Moon Deck under the stars. For a truly unique experience, dine at Beneath the Canopy, where meals are served under the shade of 150-year-old banyan trees. The hotel also boasts excellent recreational facilities, including a large swimming pool, a well-equipped gym, yoga sessions and a rejuvenating spa.
