We visited Chikmaglur around April 2nd week, and had booked ourselves at the Planter's court hotel.To summarize the stay at this hotel, I'll say that this property has great potential but not being able to capitalize on it due to poor management. The hotel has good infrastructure and facility, but scores poorly overall due to mismanagement and cost-cutting in the... More

Booked 2 AC rooms much in advance- called them a day before just to confirm because I had made a booking through their website. They were not sure if the booking is confirmed despite my paying 10% in advance. They called back after half an hour saying it is confirmed. We left Bangalore at 5:30 am so reached the hotel... More

The entire property is well maintained with lot of open spaces. They even have a lawn at the rear side. Their buffet breakfast is tasty and spread is good. The reception area is large and neatly done. Ample parking spaces are available. The rooms need some renovation and their linen also needs some better management.

A large part of my large family met up in Chickmagalur in November. We stayed at The Planters Court - after many years. The rooms are much better than what I remember them from my last visit, as is the service. They have now started to offer quite a wide-ranging breakfast - mostly south Indian. We had requested the hotel... More

We stayed 1 night at the Planters Court. Initially the hotel seemed ok, but the bad experiences started pretty quickly. For starters, there is no hot water in the evenings. Hot water is from 6-9.30 am only. The room and bathroom doors were broken and would not close properly. The elevator is out of order. The restaurant is a joke,... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Planters Court is Chickmaglur’s oldest business/ vacation hotel and offers dining options superior to any in Chickmaglur.Having been around does have its advantages when it comes to reinventing oneself. Change is the only constant so we believe in retaining what is best in terms of food and service, while adding a fresh perspective to it.A wide range of accommodation - including two suites - this budget, utilitarian and functional hotel offers guests every luxury, service and comfort. We have one of Chickmagalur's finest multi-cuisine restaurants, offering local Malnad cuisine, north Indian, Chinese and the recently re-introduced European specialities at The Club House. The well-stocked bar at the restaurant speaks volumes for itself. The Red Berry restaurant, a cheerful family restaurant also serves great quality vegetarian fare.This hotel, situated close to the bustling little coffee-town of Chikmagalur, is close to the main street, yet far enough for a drive to the beautiful, mystical Baba Budan Giri. Sprawling coffee plantations, awash with the fragrance of blossoms in season and the historical sites of Belur, Halebid, Sringeri and Horanadu make The Planters Court an ideal location to visit. ... more   less
