Hotel Surya: Luxurious haven en route to Ponmudi

Vineeth K Nambiar General Manager, Hotel Surya

Hotel Surya is a cool, quiet and luxurious haven, far away from the tight-rope-walk-like life of Thiruvananthapuram city. Located 18 kms from the city's central railway station and 24 kms from the international airport, Hotel Surya is situated at a key spot in the municipal town of Nedumnagadu. Set against the cool native charm of the suburban life, the hotel is an altogether different experience. "This hotel will be ideal place for tourists travelling towards Ponmudi, which is fast developing into a tourist destination. This is perhaps second only to Munnar in scenic beauty. We arrange special tours for our guest to Ponmudi and other destinations around Nedumnagadu town," says Vineeth K Nambiar, general manager, Hotel Surya.

The hotel has wide and large guest rooms with attached bath, CCTV, full channel music, exquisitely designed restaurant, banqueting and conference facilities, wedding hall and health club are some of the facilities that the guests could enjoy during their stay here. Besides, Hotel Surya is an architectural delight with all modern day concepts of beauty and elegance, exploited to its limits.
