Sustainable Hospitality
Regency Palani by GRT Hotels
The road to Palani carries more than travellers. It carries prayers whispered under breath, stories passed through generations, and a deep sense of purpose. Temple bells keep time, the hills stand witness to centuries of faith, and rising above it all is the Arulmigu Dhandayuthapani Swamy Temple, one of Lord Muruga’s 6 sacred abodes and the guiding force of this holy town.
Just minutes away, Regency Palani by GRT Hotels steps in to take care of everything else. Tired legs after a full day of darshan? Our spacious rooms and cloud-soft beds are ready to do the heavy lifting, and yes, your pets are welcome to rest right beside you. Hungry now? Our multi-cuisine restaurant serves authentic South Indian dishes along with other familiar favourites. Planning a conference or an intimate gathering while you are here? Our event spaces adapt effortlessly. For moments beyond rest, our serene meditation lounge invites you to slow down and reflect, adding a gentle rhythm to your stay. Alongside this, a 24-hour travel desk and a Zeon EV charging station support sustainable travel, ensuring every stay feels smooth, thoughtful, and complete. Curious already? Why wait? Your perfect stay at our hotel in Palani is just a booking away.
Where Will You Go Next
Temple
Arulmigu Periya Nayaki Amman Temple - 750 m
Older than the Palani Murugan temple, this temple stars Murugan seated between Shiva and Ambal, a divine family carved in stone way before family selfies were a thing.
Temple
Arulmigu Thiruavinankudi Thirukoil - 3 km
A foothill treasure where a young Lord Muruga sits gracefully on his peacock! Legends say Sun, Lakshmi, Kamadenu & Agni once paid their respects here.
Temple
Arulmigu Dhandayuthapani Swamy Temple - 6 km
Hop on the ropeway or climb 693 steps to reach one of Lord Muruga's 6 sacred abodes—a must-visit hilltop temple!
Temple
Arulmigu Patha Vinayakar Temple - 6 km
Begin your paadha (path) the right way—by seeking blessings at Paadha Vinayagar, Lord Ganesha who stands at the steps, guiding every climb to Palani.
Temple
Periya Aavudayaar Temple - 5 km
This riverside shrine stars Peru Udayar (Brihadeesvarar) as a swayambhu linga—naturally formed, zero human touch, just pure ancient divine flex.
Temple
Idumban Temple - 6 km
This hillock stands by the Muruga temple, where Idumban blesses devotees as guided by Lord Muruga himself.
Dam
Amaravathi Dam - 29 km
Built for irrigation and flood control, this dam now doubles as a mini power plant—and a prime hangout for sun-loving mugger crocodiles.
Sanctuary
Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary - 58 km
This is not a walk in the park—expect adventure, wild sightings, and a serious chance of spotting the Grizzled Giant Squirrel.
Town
Kodaikanal - 65 km
Known as the Princess of Hill Stations, it’s all about misty mornings, boating breaks, and zero pressure to rush.

That Feels Like Home

Madhuram: Our contemporary bar in Palani is where the fun kicks in! Think cocktails that flirt with local flavours—ginger-spiced rum, a dash of jaggery, maybe even a little hilltop honey for kicks. It’s the spot to sip, laugh, and let Palani’s spirit sneak into your glass.
A Gentle Pause In Your Journey
Skanda lounge is a serene, temple-inspired space created for quiet reflection rather than ritual. Guests can slow down, breathe, and settle into silence, or simple stillness. Through the day, Skanda offers gentle experiences—from morning breath-work and post-darshan reflection to evening bhajans and night-time gratitude pauses. Whether you choose to participate or simply sit, Skanda welcomes you with calm and presence.
