4-star hotels in Kalpatta
A shortlist of 4-star hotels in Kalpatta, the main town of Kerala's Wayanad hill country. It is for travellers who want a resort, villa or town hotel as a base for tea plantations, dams, caves and trekking routes, and who care about guest ratings and facilities.
Staying in Kalpatta
Kalpatta is a hill town of tea and coffee plantations, local shops, restaurants and markets, used as a base for Wayanad's waterfalls, caves and wildlife sanctuaries. Trekking trails run through the surrounding hills, and the cuisine is typical of Kerala, with rice, coconut, spices and seafood, plus widely available vegetarian options. The town is well connected by road to the rest of Kerala and to neighbouring states. The hotels on this list sit in and around that town. Others are further into the Wayanad countryside, on the Meppadi, Sulthan Bathery, Mananthavady and Mysore roads, among plantations and near Banasura Sagar Dam. Couples, families and short-break visitors are all served here; business travellers will find the town-centre addresses handiest.
