4- and 5-star hotels in Palghat
These 4- and 5-star hotels in Palghat range from town-centre addresses to resorts in the countryside, so this shortlist is for travellers choosing between a base in Palakkad town and a stay in the surrounding hills and paddy fields.
Staying in Palghat
Palghat, also called Palakkad, is the gateway to Kerala from Tamil Nadu, known for its paddy fields, the Palakkad Fort and the Kalpathy Ratholsavam chariot festival. The town itself has a compact core: the area around the fort and main bus stand holds shops, restaurants and hotels within walking distance of the fort and stadium, while Kunnathurmedu sits close to the railway station and town centre. The hotels on this list are spread far wider than that core, with several addresses in and around Palakkad town and others in the countryside towards Kollengode, Mannarkkad and the Malampuzha side. That spread shapes who each hotel suits.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Palghat is well-connected by rail and road. The Palakkad Junction railway station is a major stop on the Shoranur-Coimbatore line, with trains to major cities in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. By road, National Highway 544 (formerly NH 47) passes through the city, linking it to Coimbatore (about 50 km east) and Thrissur (about 75 km south). The nearest airport is Coimbatore International Airport, approximately 55 km away. Within the city, local buses and auto-rickshaws are available for getting around.
When to go
The best time to visit Palghat is from October to February, when the weather is relatively dry and temperatures are moderate. The monsoon season from June to September brings heavy rainfall, which can disrupt travel but also makes the landscape lush. The Kalpathy Ratholsavam festival, held in November, is a major cultural event. Summers from March to May can be hot and humid.
