Promenade is a nice little boutique hotel on the waterfront on Pondy. Rooms are a dated but in a old colonial way so it works. Service is always good and food great. Outside dinning overlooking water a must.

I was in the Promenade for the last 4 days with family and enjoyed my stay very much. The staff were very friendly and helpful. When we told them that the room we got wasn't to our liking, they gave us a better room which was also sea facing. Karthik, Vanaja and James from the restaurant were especially very helpful... More

Amazing sea View from the roof top, with cool sea breeze and delicious food and guitarist playing soothing music. Nothing can be as perfect as this evening. One Must experience it atleast once during their visit to Pondicherry.

Sadly i was only here for one night. It was a gorgeous place and i had a lovely seaview room. The bed was massive, the amenities luxurious; the staff were friendly. I especially liked there being a dvd player linked to the TV in the room as I'm tired of watching dvds on my tiny laptop! The only negative comment... More

I had been a regular visitor to the hotel since its inception many years ago. With time, the prices just seemed to be going through the roof while the quality remained static or dropped. The proverbial last straw was during my last visit to the place. We had ordered for some beer. When it came, I found that it tasted... More

Six of us dined at Light House restaurant at The Promenade Hotel, Pondicherry on 7th April 2013. Since we had been outdoors all day in the humid and energy sapping April heat of Pondi, we decided to freshen up before ordering. However, there are no separate washrooms for men and women here. Due to lack of maintenance, the wash room... More

We went to Pondicherry with friends for the Auroville Marathon this year. We'd visited The Promenade on an earlier trip and were keen to stay there. Our short stay was a dream and I definitely plan to visit again! The staff was very attentive and helpful - of course, not all my friends had the same experience. But the housekeeping... More

The highlight of this hotel is its location and ambiance. One feels instantly relaxed and comfortable here. Across the road is the sea. And within walking distance are a number of cafes and interesting places to see. The food is good too. A mix of local and French cuisine. And i loved that at breakfast besides the usual tea/coffee one... More
