Fairlawn Hotel
A living part of the city's history, this small-scale property harks back to the late 18th century and has retained a creaky charm. It is crammed with bric-a-brac, old wicker furniture and Raj-era memorabilia - its charmingly eccentric, octogenarian owner is proud to talk about the interesting photos lining the walls. Rooms aren't flash but are comfortable enough, with some bathrooms featuring great old free-standing bath tubs.

The Park
A great location in the heart of Park Street, this upmarket property is a member of the Design Hotels of the World. Standard doubles are very comfortable with soothing warm tones and there are also more opulent suites and larger, 'Luxury rooms'. It's stylish, well run and home to the trendy Tantra nightclub as well as some commendable restaurants. Other treats include an inviting swimming pool, gym and spa (which offers traditional Ayurvedic treatments and heavenly body scrubs).
