The Central Residency  

In the heart of Thiruvananthapuram’s Thampanoor/Pulimoodu district, a business-friendly city-center 4-star hotel steps from the action. It’s a short 5-minute drive to the Trivandrum Secretariat and Thiruvananthapuram Zoo, about 1.6 miles from Shri Padmanabhaswamy Temple and roughly 2 miles from Chowara Beach.

Sixty spacious, air-conditioned guestrooms with minibars and in-room safes — some of the most generously sized rooms in town. Expect satellite or flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers, complimentary newspapers and distinctive interiors that mix comfort with local flair.

A 24-hour fitness/health club, concierge and tour desk keep stays active and effortless. Other perks include gift shops/newsstands, valet parking, laundry/dry cleaning, elevator access and event-friendly banquet space.

A 24-hour business center, a conference center and three meeting rooms make this a solid pick for business travelers. Complimentary wireless internet and free valet parking support on-site meetings and events.

An on-site restaurant, coffee shop/café and bar/lounge serve meals and drinks throughout the day. Buffet breakfast is available each morning and 24-hour room service keeps late arrivals and night owls satisfied.
