The first thing you'll notice at the Waterfront Granary is the 1928 Ford vintage car in the lounge. This is a museum-hotel, where relics from the owner's personal collection are on show. The main building, a former granary, dates to 1877, and is carpeted in Chettinadu tiles; the 16 spacious rooms have a heritage feel with modern touches.
The lakefront location here is superb, with a terrace, a restaurant and a tiny pool looking out to Willingdon Island.
