Hotel Kluney Manor

In the Queen of the Hills, you will find Kluney Manor. This Victorian Suite Hotel is a place you will feel at home.

This property is located just 100 km away from the Airport, 15 minutes from the main bus stand and Railway station, 10 minutes from the center commercial area and the famous Botanical Garden and Boat House. Way back in 1828, Capt. Macpherson of the British Army built the Kluney Manor. Later, the Maharaja of Patna would make it his summer retreat. Now, for the first time ever, the doors of this charming colonial villa lies open for you.

1852. T' was a good year for wine. The good captain poured himself a glass and thought out aloud, "Let's have a nice ol' home here in Ooty." Capt. Macpherson first came to Ootacamund with his band of pioneers. The daunting task ahead of them To build the first road ever from the plains to this 'Queen of Hill station'. For years they toiled, mapping out every treacherous curve and negotiation the building-sized rocks that stood in their way.

When they finished, Her Majesty the Queen was so pleased with their work that she rewarded the good Captain and his lieutenants with vast tracts of land in the area.

Many sold their lands and returned to England but not our Captain. He had fallen in love with Ooty. And so he stayed and built Kluney Manor. Brick by brick, he watched it take life. And when at last it was complete, he sat back and poured himself another glass of wine.

Once Macpherson's elegant home and hearth, and later the Maharaja of Patna's summer hideaway, Kluney Manor is now a luxury retreat for those who want to see Ooty at its best. From the sprawling lawns that overlook the famous racecourse to the burnished elegance of its stately interiors, Kluney Manor is an invitation to enter a bygone era - a time when only opulence was fitting reward for success.
