Maison Perumal Hotel & Restaurant – CGH Earth

A wonderful little hotel in a heritage Chettinad home. By far, the service and hospitality were outstanding. The room was a bit small, but had all the necessary conveniences. Restaurant food was good and the restaurant staff were also very friendly. We celebrated New Years Eve here and they had put together a very enjoyable evening with a dance program, a live band and curated menu. Special mention to Elbe, the manager.

Had lunch at the Maison and loved the ambience. The wait time for the food was high and it was on the pricey side, but the food was really well made with high quality ingredients that made it worth it! We had the Kaalan Milagu Pirattal and Kozhi Varutha Curry. And for dessert we had Mango Icecream. Lovely spot for a relaxed meal amidst green and very thoughtfully planned surroundings.

I stayed for 3 nights at this beautiful Tamil heritage property and had a truly memorable experience. The place is very clean, homely, and conveniently located—just a short walk to White Town and the main beach. Valet service was helpful since parking can be tricky. The South Indian breakfast was outstanding, with piping hot idlis and dosas served straight from the kitchen. The warm welcome with a garland, pooja, refreshing drink, and towel really set the tone, staying true to Indian tradition. A special thanks to Anamika at reception—she was gracious, kind, and an excellent host, even taking time to share Pondicherry’s history with us. The property also offered many in-house activities, both free and paid. My wife and mom loved the complimentary mehendi, and we also enjoyed cycling around on the free bikes provided. The staff’s attention to detail stood out—our room was ready with an extra bed even before we arrived, the car was spotless and stocked with water before departure, and every little need was thoughtfully taken care of. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a no-fuss, homely, and culturally rich stay.

Oh my goodness, I couldn't recommend this beautiful place more highly. From the welcoming entrance with a wreath of jasmine flowers to the room itself with so much attention to detail we couldn't fault it. The room was huge, spacious and full of small details that were so delightful, even the mini bar was well thought out. Someone really put thought into every aspect of how this old home became converted to a hotel but still staying cosy and homelike in the best introduction to India possible. The staff were so beautiful and friendly, the food is excellent and its a gem of a place we were so happy to find to start our honeymoon! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

One of the best experiences. The hotel is walking distance to the beach and all major touristy places. The staff and the manager El Bey are kind and accommodative. The restaurant serves high quality food. Will keep CGH group in mind next time I make reservations.

I recently stayed for 2 days, and from the moment I arrived until the time I checked out, everything was simply perfect. The ambience was warm, welcoming, and beautifully maintained — the ideal setting for a relaxing getaway. The service was exceptional, with staff who were not only attentive but also genuinely caring, always ready to assist with a smile.||||Breakfast was a true highlight, with an excellent variety of delicious food, prepared with great attention to quality and taste. Every meal felt fresh and satisfying, making each morning a wonderful start to the day.||||This place offers the perfect balance of comfort, hospitality, and peacefulness. I left feeling completely refreshed and well taken care of. It was truly one of my best stays ever, and I look forward to returning soon. A big thank you to the entire team for making my stay so memorable.

I came for food The place is nice As a foreigner. I asked recommendation for a little and non greasy meal. I have been served a huge dish submerged in butter. I refused to eat it because I cannot eat so much fat for health issues they remaded it All the pieces of cardamom and spices made it unpleasant to eat. Then I saw people with light, small dishes. I think that as a foreigner, they just sold me one of the most expensive things

I went for lunch. They serve authentic south indian dishes. The food was really good. We enjoyed the food a lot. The property looked quite beautiful.from inside. The people serving were too easy to reach and suggested us what to eat for lunch. Its pretty nice and cosy space. Worth a visit for food even if you are not staying.
