Pondicherry
A colonial-style heritage hotel by CGH Earth in the French Quarter, near the seaside promenade.
Pondicherry's French Quarter feels more like a small town in the south of France than India, with yellow-washed colonial villas, bougainvillea and a long seafront promenade. The best stays here are restored mansions with courtyards and quiet gardens.
The White Town is compact and walkable, with cafes, galleries and boutiques. Beach hotels sit north and south of the center, and Auroville is a short drive away.
The best weather runs from November to February. It is hot and humid in summer, and the northeast monsoon brings rain in October and November.
