Our favourite rooms
The Roof Garden Suite elicits the biggest gasps thanks to its extra mezzanine bed and sprawling yard-cum-shower. Its walls are lined with lithographs by ‘India’s Picasso’ M.F Husain. Each room is decorated with Indian art and has an open-air bathroom (complete with wooden Japanese sandals to make the hard stones of the floor easier on the sole).
Poolside
There's no pool at Malabar Escapes: Trinity, but guests are welcome to use the pool at Malabar House.
Spa
There's no spa at the hotel itself, but guests are welcome to enjoy Ayurvedic spa treatments at Purespa in nearby sister property, Malabar House.
