3-star hotels in Chikmagalur
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels in Chikmagalur, the coffee-country town in Karnataka that serves as a base for the hills, estates and temples around it. It is for travellers who want a rated, mid-range place to sleep while spending their days outdoors.
Staying in Chikmagalur
Chikmagalur sits among rolling hills, coffee estates and dense forests, with Mullayanagiri, the highest peak in Karnataka, nearby. The town itself has a modest commercial centre, while the wider district holds waterfalls, temples and plantation land, and coffee and pepper farming remain central to local life. It draws travellers interested in trekking, plantation stays and nature walks.
Most of these hotels are in Chikmagalur Town and along its main roads: Tresca A Luxury Hotel on R G Road is 0.6 km from the centre, GenX Crystal Inn Chikmangaluru and Treebo Sunrise 5 mins to Mahatma Gandhi Park are both 0.8 km away, and Hotel Aadrika, Treebo Orchid and Gateway Chikmagalur sit between 1.2 km and 1.7 km out. The rest are spread further: Coffee Grove Resort at 15.7 km, The Greenwood Resort Chikmagalur at 11.3 km and Open Hotel by Olive Biranji Aqua Reatreat at 10.4 km. Town addresses suit short breaks and business travellers; the outlying resorts suit couples and families who want gardens, pools and quiet.
