OYO 9122 Hotel Ivory Grande is a three star address on S. Bathery Rd. in Kalpetta, the headquarters of Wayanad district, 5.3 km from the centre of Kalpetta. A 3.8 out of 5 guest score from 215 reviews sets expectations. The deciding factor is whether you want a plain, well run base with breakfast and parking in the Wayanad hills rather than a destination in itself.
What the hotel lists
OYO 9122 Hotel Ivory Grande carries a three star rating and a guest score of 3.8 out of 5 from 215 reviews. The facilities are practical rather than decorative. Air conditioning runs through the rooms, breakfast is served, and room service covers the times you would rather not go out. A 24 hour front desk handles late arrivals and early starts, and free parking sits on site for anyone driving the ghat road.
Nothing here tries to be more than a working hotel. The combination of air conditioning, breakfast and a staffed desk around the clock is what most people in Kalpetta actually use. Room service and free parking remove the two small frictions of a hill stay. The guest score suggests the basics are handled consistently. Room service, air conditioning and breakfast are the ones a visitor notices first.
Where it sits
The hotel stands on S. Bathery Rd., opposite Wmo Arts College, 5.3 km from the centre of Kalpetta. Kalpetta is the headquarters of Wayanad district, in North Kerala. Wayanad is a plateau in the north east, reached by a hairpin climb from the Malabar coast, with coffee and pepper under the trees rather than tea on open slopes. The destination is the hills themselves.
Wayanad sits at 700 to 2,100 m and is older than the tourist map: the Edakkal petroglyphs are neolithic. Coffee, cardamom and pepper grow under canopy, which is why the hills stay green rather than clipped. Edakkal, Thirunelli and the Jain temple at Sultan Bathery are all inside an hour of each other, and the tiger reserve borders Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, so the forest is continuous in three directions.
Who it suits
This suits drivers and short stay visitors who want air conditioning, breakfast, free parking and a desk that never closes, and who treat the hotel as a base for the surrounding hills. It does not suit anyone looking for a resort with grounds to linger in or a property in the middle of Kalpetta. The 5.3 km gap to the centre of town is the fact that decides it.
Planning a stay
The season runs September to May. The ghat road is the weak point in heavy rain, so the approach is the thing to watch outside those months. With a 3.8 out of 5 score across 215 reviews and a straightforward set of facilities, this is a base for the hills rather than a place to spend the day.

How far is the hotel from the centre of Kalpetta?

What facilities are available at the hotel?

When is the best time to stay in Wayanad?
September to May is the season. The ghat road is the weak point in heavy rain, so the climb to the plateau is the thing to consider outside those months. Wayanad sits at 700 to 2,100 m, and the coffee and pepper under canopy keep the hills green rather than clipped through the season.
