“Le Dupleix stands out in White Town for its seamless blend of heritage and prime location. I found the restored colonial architecture particularly impressive, a perfect backdrop for a stay immersed in Pondicherry's history. The courtyard restaurant, set beneath a 200-year-old mango tree, offers a uniquely atmospheric dining experience that I believe is hard to replicate elsewhere.”
