3-star hotels in Salem
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Salem, drawn from guest ratings out of 5 and listed facilities. It suits couples, families and business travellers who want to compare where to stay before booking a short break in the city or the Yercaud hills.
Staying in Salem
Salem is a working South Indian city of steel plants, textiles, temples and busy markets, less touristy than much of Tamil Nadu, with its own airport and a major railway junction. The nearby Yercaud hills, about 30 kilometers away, give a cooler, greener contrast of viewpoints and coffee plantations. The places on this shortlist sit in different parts of the area: several cluster in and around the city centre, from Krishna Paradise to Berry Garden and Ondikadai Post, while others stand further out along Omalur Main Road, Junction Main Road and Reddipatti, and a few sit on the Yercaud ghat road and Pagoda Point Road.
That spread makes the list useful for different kinds of trip. Couples and short-break visitors can pick a central address close to markets and transport, or head uphill to Yercaud for the climate. Families have family rooms, games rooms and pools at several properties, including those on the ghat road. Business travellers are served by hotels with business centres, meeting rooms and banquet halls, many with air conditioning, restaurants and free parking. Ratings across the list run from 4.0 to 4.6 out of 5.
