Sterling Kodai Valley

In the misty hills of Kodaikanal, in a village called Villpatti, there appears the most unusual architecture - an entire hotel in the shape of a ship, a leaf-shaped accommodation block, a lotus- shaped business block, and a array of dome-shaped rooms. This brilliantly maverick architectural cluster is the Sterling Holidays Valley View resort, a haven of comfort amidst the hills.

The resort has 156 rooms spread across 7 acres of gently sloping land.

The resort offers:

• 34 studio apartments located in a leaf-shaped block with little rock gardens inside and great views of the mountains and lawns outside.
• 53 one-bedroom apartments spread across the resort premises; all rooms are dome shaped and are located four- or two-to-a-block above the bedroom apartments.
• 25 two-bedroom apartments, similar in structure to the one-bedroom apartments and spread across the resort property. All rooms open up to picturesque mountain valleys surrounding Kodaikanal.
