Home/Where to stay/Malappuram/4- and 5-star hotels
4- and 5-star hotels in Malappuram
This shortlist covers the 4- and 5-star hotels in Malappuram, Kerala, from a 5-star address opposite the Thali Temple to 4-star apartments and pool villas spread across the district. It is for travellers who want a comfortable base for the town, its markets and the wider Malabar region.
Staying in Malappuram
Malappuram is a busy town of government offices, schools, hospitals and markets, set in a district of rice paddies, coconut groves and rubber plantations. It is known for Malabar biryani and seafood, for Kottakkunnu hill park with its views over the town, and as a base for the Teak Museum and the Nilambur forests. The hotels on this list sit outside the immediate town centre, from 4.2 kilometres away to 21.5 kilometres, along roads such as Manjeri Melattur Road, Koottilangadi Padinhattumuri Vallikkapatta Road, Mannarkkad Road in Perintalmanna, the Kozhikkode Palakkad Bypass Road and Industrial Estate Road in Manjeri.
The mix suits different trips. Couples and short-break visitors tend to prefer the quieter addresses, such as Hill Club Square at 4.2 kilometres or Lotus Grand Residency, whose Indian Coffee House address opposite the Thali Temple is a local landmark. Families do well in the apartment-style 4-star properties, several with family rooms, kitchens, cots and playgrounds. Business travellers are served by hotels with business centres, banquet halls and restaurants, while groups arriving by road from Kozhikode or Manjeri find the road-side addresses convenient.
