Constructed in the 18th century as the residence of the Mayor of Pondicherry, the building stands white and majestic on an important corner of the French town. It is located just a few blocks from the shimmering waters of Bay of Bengal and Pondicherry’s famo us leafy park. The central shopping district is just around the corner, too, as are a number of restaurants and coffee shops.

Journey into the past

The journey into the past starts as soon as you reach the wooden gate, one of the oldest in Pondicherry, made famous in numerous paintings and photos of the colonial era. As you open the gate you enter an atmospheric courtyard, the heart of the restored building, and discover a slice of Old France meticulously renovated to create a modern hotel.

Traditional yet modern

The original building has been expanded, and the hotel has been modernised with the use of materials such as glass and metal to create a delicate mix of modernity and tradition. This mix offers the warmth of the old, but at the same time ensures that the hotel i s comfortable and efficient, equipped with Internet connections, mini bars, room service, and imported bathtubs and fittings. It is in this harmony between the traditional and modern that Le Dupleix exists not just as another heritage hotel, but as a unique and striking designer hotel.
