The Gateway Hotel Pasumalai Madurai, Madurai

Perched on Pasumalai Hill, with excellent views of the temple town of Madurai, is the The Gateway Hotel Pasumalai Madurai (previously the Taj Garden Retreat). The hotel is set amid landscaped gardens and is an ideal place to relax after exploring the Meenakshi temple. Facilities include a swimming pool, tennis and badminton courts, and a multi-cuisine restaurant. Due to new government legislation passed in April 2017, the hotel is unable to serve alcoholic drinks until further notice.
