About hotel

Step into a time capsule and journey back in history at the exquisite West Downs - The Heritage Resort. This historic gem has stood the test of time since the late 1800s, making it one of the oldest and most beloved resorts in Ooty. Aptly named the "British Bungalow of West Downs", this century-old property has been passed down through generations until it was acquired by its current owner in 1991. To preserve the vintage allure of the resort, meticulous efforts were put into restoring and refurbishing its striking Victorian-style architecture, complete with red and white brick walls. Every detail, from the stunning fireplaces to the ornate ceilings and windows, has been carefully preserved for commercial use. As noted in the book "Ootacamund A History" by Frederick Price, West Downs was already recognized as a historical landmark in 1905, solidifying its significance in the city's rich heritage. Conveniently located, West Downs - The Heritage Resort is just a short 2 km away from the railway station and a mere 3-hour drive from Coimbatore International Airport. The renowned tourist attractions of Ooty Lake, Botanical Gardens, and Doddabetta Peak are also within close proximity, making it an ideal spot for all types of travelers. The guestrooms at West Downs - The Heritage Resort are thoughtfully designed and fully equipped with all essential amenities for a comfortable and unforgettable experience. From a well-equipped conference hall for business meetings to room service, laundry facilities, and a range of outdoor activities, every aspect has been attentively considered to cater to the needs of our guests. Indulge in a variety of delectable dining options at our on-site restaurants, such as mouth-watering international grilled dishes, a lively bar and lounge, a picturesque alfresco cafe, and a multi-cuisine restaurant. Guests can also take note of the hot water timings, available in the morning and evening for their convenience. Relax and immerse yourself in the charm and grandeur of a bygone era at West Downs - The Heritage Resort. Book your stay with us and discover the fascinating history of Ooty. Let us take you on a captivating journey back in time.

Pradhish was our concierge for the in-room dining. He was great with our kid. Spent time to explain the facilities and menu options and also provided guidance about the local tourist points. Rooms were spacious and vintage as promised and overall facilities and views within promises were great. It was a pleasant stay with great staff.

Mixed Experience - Good Room, Poor Food I recently stayed here and had a mixed experience. While the hotel room itself was satisfactory, I was thoroughly disappointed with the quality of the food offered. Let's start with the positives - the hotel room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The amenities provided were adequate, and I had a decent night's sleep during my stay. However, the same cannot be said about the dining experience. The food served at the hotel's restaurant was below par. he menu appeared promising, but the actual dishes fell short of expectations. The main issue was with the taste and preparation of the food. It lacked flavor and seemed like it was prepared in a hurry, compromising the overall quality.

I had requested a room decoration which was done amazing by the housekeeping staff. They are really humble and always ready to help. Call out to the manager and Gopal who were the ones that got it done for me. The food is also good and their breakfast cakes are amazing ❤️
