Tranquility at Tranquebar - a Dutch, Danish, British Colonial heritage town of pristine beauty and perennial charm, situated on the Coromandel Coast in the Nagapattinam District in Tamil Nadu, South India. Or Tharangambadi “the land of the singing waves” as the Tamils more euphorically, bestowed this euphonic sobriquet upon this picturesque coastal town lying 15 kms south of the ancient Chola port of Pumpuhar, and 15 kms north of the former French comptoir of Karikal.
While most heritage hotels in Tamil Nadu are born with the beauty and treasures of history, not many have the luxury of housing architectural treasures visible from the verandah outside your room! But ensconced in elaborate comfort in one of the quaintly named rooms named after Danish ships which sailed to Tranquebar in days of yore, in one of the most unusual of Heritage Hotels Tamil Nadu, you get a tantalizing glimpse of beautiful places to visit in Tamil Nadu, from the privacy of your living quarters.
View the early 14th century Masilamani Nathar Pandya temple on the left and a 17th century Danish fort to the right, drive in through a beautiful gate of the majestic King Street, past Lutheran churches and grand bungalows of the Danish Governors’ and the British Collector’s residence. Re-live marine history, visit the temples of Kumbakonam and Tanjore and rejoice in this town, which remains a glorious tribute to architecture from across the world and celebrates life as the thickest ozone layer in India, revitalises you for a beautiful posterity!
