Hotels in Nagapattinam are Welcoming

The picturesque coastal town of Nagapattinam, with sea-borne trade and fishing as its two major sources of income and its chequered destiny bearing the indelible imprint of the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British East India Company before it became the capital of the newly created Nagapattinam District in 1991, dates back to the Sangam period!

Hotels in Nagapattinam  with  their striking   indigenous Tamil architecture with red-tiled roofs, internal, pillared courtyards of domestic proportions , a wooden stairway and vast, structured  spaces, have beautiful suites and spacious rooms done up in gorgeous hues of peacock blue, bright gold, warm ochres and oranges, turquoise and canary yellow.   With such imposing names as Chidambaram, Thanjavur, Darasuram, Srirangam and Swamimalai, they simultaneously celebrate the towering temple towns of Tamil Nadu and its agricultural abundance, while providing perfect comfort!

These hotels, which host anniversaries, birthdays and other memorable occasions with customary hospitality, also offer visitors here, a plethora of interesting excursions and things to do in Nagapattinam.  These include a rejuvenating walk to the nearby beach, rich in a revitalising ozone layer, a lazy swim in the aquamarine waters of the private hotel pool or delightful bird watching from the Uppanar River of this colourful avian species; or a fascinating visit to the Dansborg Archaeological Museum with its rare collection of palm leaf manuscripts and Maratha paintings, Chinese porcelain and weapons, coins, fish ones and early fossils!  Or pay obeisance at the famous700 year old Masilamani Nathar Temple, a unique blend of Chinese and South Indian architecture and be blessed!
