Central Hill Location

West Downs - The Heritage Resort sits 10 minutes from Ooty, 62 miles from Coimbatore International Airport. Nearby attractions include Ooty Lake (0.5 miles), Government Botanical Garden (1 miles), and Mukerti National Park (0.5 miles).

“I appreciate this Victorian-era building for its architecture and convenient location near the Botanical Garden and Ooty Lake; the resort's lush setting is certainly relaxing. Dining stands out with regional specialties and private options for suite guests; however, inconsistent hot water access can be a minor drawback. A pleasant stay overall.”
