5-star hotels in Thiruvananthapuram
This shortlist gathers 5-star hotels in Thiruvananthapuram, from Palayam and the city centre to Kazhakootam, Vithura and the coast. It is for travellers weighing a central base against a quieter, outlying stay in Kerala's capital.
Staying in Thiruvananthapuram
Thiruvananthapuram spreads across low coastal hills, with the Arabian Sea to the west and the Western Ghats rising in the east. The Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Puthen Malika Palace, Napier Museum, Kanakakunnu Palace and the Zoological Park give the city its mix of heritage and greenery, while Kovalam, Varkala and the Kollam backwaters lie within reach. The Kerala Government Secretariat stands as a red architectural landmark in the centre.
The hotels on this list sit in different parts of that map. Babuji's Home By Oyo Rooms, Mg Tower Hotel, Ashish Tourist Home, Pk Residency and La Casa Trivandrum are close to the centre, between 0.2 km and 1.6 km away. Ambika Vilas Trivandrum, Trivpods Capsule Hotel, Santamoon and Hill View Hotel and Lodging are a little further out, and Oyster Marris Homestays, Alchemist Villa Kazhakootam, White Butterfly and Rohini International Vithura serve the coastal and eastern edges. Couples, families and business travellers all find something, whether a short city break or a longer stay near the beaches and Techno Park.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Thiruvananthapuram is served by Trivandrum International Airport, with direct flights from major Indian cities and some international destinations. The central railway station is a major stop on the Southern Railway network, and Kerala State Road Transport Corporation buses connect the city to other parts of Kerala and neighbouring states. Within the city, local buses, auto-rickshaws and taxis are readily available, and ride-hailing apps operate in many areas. Many key attractions are concentrated in the central and eastern parts, while beach destinations like Kovalam are a short drive from the city centre.
When to go
The best time to visit Thiruvananthapuram is from October to February, when the weather is relatively dry and temperatures are moderate. The monsoon months from June to September bring heavy rainfall, which can disrupt travel plans, while March to May is warmer and more humid. The Attukal Pongala festival, usually in February or March, is a major event that attracts large crowds to the Attukal Bhagavathy Temple, so plan accordingly if you wish to experience it or avoid the crowds.
