Oxygen Resorts, Alleppey 

Overlooking the rustic charm of the Alleppey backwaters is this fort-style retreat in the heart of the city. Aptly named “Haveli”, this hotel borrows its architecture from the construction leaflets of Rajasthan, with a brown façade and tall pillars that lead up to tiny turret-like structures on the roof. Conveniently located from most public transportation points in the city, the hotel is a mere 5-minute walk from the Alappuzha KSRTC bus stand and about 200 m from the Rajiv Jetty. True to its ambitions of creating a palatial feel around itself, the Haveli comprises 84 rooms across room categories like Haveli Suites, Royal Deluxe, and Royal Grand. What’s worth noting is that all rooms come with a balcony. And each of the rooms has been fitted with air conditioning, tea/coffee maker, mini bar, satellite TV, a wardrobe, and Wi-Fi. The en-suites have been provided with modern fixtures and complimentary toiletries. Indulge in a variety of cuisines at the Sarangi restaurant in the hotel or simply let the hearty warmth of the barbeque dishes fill you up.
