Svatma Hotel, Thanjavur

An authentic expression of the hospitality of Tamil Nadu, built over a century ago.

LUXURY HOTEL IN INDIA

The more you learn about the local culture, handicrafts and lifestyle, the deeper will be your understanding of India’s Tamil Nadu region. And the richer your holiday will be.

If your idea of an enriched holiday experience is to immerse yourself into the place you’re visiting, then you should definitely put Svatma on the itinerary of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to India.

You’ll be conveniently close to the ancient city of Tanjavur with its Chola temples featuring great towers of intricately carved figures, and its UNESCO World Heritage monuments. Brihadeeswarar Temple, for example, will literally leave you speechless with wonder. But you’ll also be staying in a piece of living Tamil Nadu history. The Svatma captures the soul of the region in its interiors, and in the range of experiences it offers. From Veda chanting by priests and Bharatanatyam and Tanjavur dancing, to demonstrations of bronze casting and lessons in the art of Tamil cookery.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”

We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”

From our very first phone call, The Ultimate Travel Company provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
