Swiss County is a three star hotel in the Idukki district of South Kerala, 6.8 km from the centre of Munnar in the hills. It has a spa, a games room and a library, and four and a half stars from 639 guest reviews. That combination decides it: a resort style base for families and couples who want facilities on site, not a simple room near town.
The Property Itself
Swiss County is a three star property with a guest score of 4.5 out of 5 from 639 reviews. The facilities are broad and holiday oriented: a spa and yoga, a cafe, restaurant and bar, a games room and a library, a garden and a kitchen. Rooms have air conditioning, balconies, non smoking options and family rooms.
Practical support runs around the clock: 24 hour front desk and security, concierge, laundry, luggage storage, babysitting, room service, express check in. Café, bar and restaurant cover meals, breakfast is provided. Free WiFi and free parking, car, taxi, shuttle and bicycle hire handle transport. It reads as a base where days pass easily without leaving.
Where It Sits
The address is Chitirapuram P.O. Pallivasal, outside Munnar, in the wider Idukki district of South Kerala. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub. Swiss County is 6.8 km from the centre of Munnar. The setting is hills, between 1,500 and 2,695 m.
The destination is tea country, planted from 1,500 metres up to the grassland, laid over hills the Scots planted in the 1880s. Anamudi, the highest point in India south of the Himalaya, sits on the eastern edge at 2,695 metres. Pallivasal is its own small settlement, so the hotel is a short drive from Munnar rather than in it.
Who It Suits
Swiss County suits families, couples and groups who want facilities on site and do not mind being 6.8 km from the centre of Munnar. The spa, games room, library, garden and children's care make it work for mixed age groups. It does not suit travellers who want to step out of the door into Munnar's centre, or anyone wanting a small independent guesthouse.
Planning A Stay
The season runs from September to May. The heavy monsoon months bring closed in cloud and landslip risk. January mornings can frost, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive and closes for calving in February and March.
