Puducherry (the erstwhile Pondicherry) is a much sought after tourist destination in South India, a short drive away from Chennai. When you visit this exotic destination for vacation or business, heighten your experience of this old French Colony town by staying at The Residency, enveloped in a world of luxury and amenities.

The hotel offers all the features of a beautiful home, which ensures that you get solace and comfort in this home away from home, to make your stay at Puducherry one of style and luxury.

Puducherry has a popular biking and cycling culture to move around this small intriguing town. With this culture in mind, The Residency Towers has thoughtfully provided for some cycles parked at the entrance of the hotel. Most tourists prefer using two-wheelers to explore the charming French colonies and riding along the seaside.

Once you step inside the hotel itself, be ready for a wholesome and holistic experience. From the time you set foot in the lobby, you can feast your eyes on profound

paintings adorning the walls, that can easily absorb you for hours of observation to discover deep understanding of the universe. The interiors are in sublime grey and white, with the hotel décor exuding a magnificent stone and metallic theme that spells grandeur, elegance and luxury in understated tones.

The Residency Towers has wonderful dining choices for guests. There’s The Pavilion for all-day dining – a fine dine restaurant that serves choicest world cuisines including Continental, Oriental, Modern French, and of course Pan Indian. All this delectable fare gets an added boost with French architectural signature high ceilings, creating the perfect ambience for a splendid dining experience.

Then there is the delightful patisserie, Krave – the perfect spot to head to in order to realise your baked fantasies and indulge your gourmet sweet tooth. The patisserie dishes out delicious varieties of daily fresh bakes, crisp croissants, spongy soft bread loaves, pastries, macarons and more, served along with hot brews to complete this decadent picture with oven-fresh wafting aromas taking over your senses.

Can any five-star hotel experience be complete with a pub? To let your hair down and unwind in style, there is Bike and Barrel – encapsulating the lively and vibrant spirit of this quaint town. Bike and Barrel serves premium liquors and choicest spirits with the widest collection, as well as the most exotic cocktails. To complement the well-stocked bar offerings, you have a wonderful variety of starters, snacks, finger foods as well as main food items for a relaxed and lively evening. The pub can seat 56 pax, and some nights you can be entertained by live DJ performances.
