We speak of Gods and temples, of ancient customs and cultures. Untouched by the steady tread of time of peace and tranquility, we speak of Madurai, the 'City of Temples'. Sprawling over 62 acres, the hotel is a seamless blend of 105-year- old colonial architecture and more recent constructions.

This hundred year-old celebrated property is perched atop the Pasumalai hill, amidst 62 acres of landscaped gardens. The hotel offers a panoramic view of the Temple City and the Kodai hills. It is a 15-minute drive from the famous Meenakshi temple and city center. Overlooking the temple on a small hillock, rests the quintessential colonial buildings of the Taj Garden retreat; amidst undisturbed tranquility, in divine stillness.

Tucked snugly in the recesses of Tamil Nadu, on the sacred Vaigai river, Madurai - a city shaped like a lotus - is the destination of thousands of pilgrims who come to pay homage at the renowned Meenakshi Temple; famous for its 1000-pillar corridor.
