Le Dupleix offers a fusion between the rich, colonial heritage and a contemporary flavor. The hotel beautifully complements Pondicherry. It is a 14-room luxury heritage hotel, nestling in an 18th century French colonial villa, originally built for the Maire Mayor of Pondicherry. Now restored and modernized the hotel is an architectural masterpiece showcasing the life of the 18th century French Governor Marquis Joseph-Francois Dupleix. The 14 suites are all distinct in style and furnishings and each provides a unique experience. Its restaurant is renowned for its fine food and excellent wines.

I had a memorable stay at le dupleix. The best French styled boutique hotel in Pondicherry. The manager Pradeep and his staff Ameer Paneer Jancy Shifa made our stay as comfortable as possible. They were proactive and hospitable. Chef Muthu cooked up exotic delicacies which are a must to try! I strongly recommend Dupleix for your stay in Pondicherry for the complete French experience!

Nice Boutique Hotel stay. A good restaurant downstairs in the Hotel. During our stay there was some renovation work ongoing and certain fixtures were still under repair. Initially we were offered a room on the ground floor the entrance of which was directly in front of the restaurant seating area. On request we were upgraded to a room on the 2nd floor which we liked. Slightly expensive as there aren't much amenities except the heritage home feel and its location in French quarters. Overall a nice stay.

Myself and my husband stayed at Le Dupleix for 4 nights in the Penthouse. Wow what a weekend to stay at the french heritage. Calming and relaxing atmosphere with such a friendly staff especially staff Mr. Pradeep made our stay the most comfortable. The staff are pleasant and very helpful especially Mr. Nizam at the restaurant and Ms. Padmini at the House keeping was too good. Such a friendly staff right from the reception to the restaurant are excellent. We enjoyed our dinner with live light music in the evening. This old French heritage of Pondicherry was very well maintained and overall this trip was a memorable and super comfortable one for us.

I stayed at Le Dupliex for a night and two days and found my experience to the best in class. The staff right from reception to the Restaurent were so polite abs friendly. Their service is amazing and the food is excellent. Enjoyed my short stay thoroughly. Special mention to Shifa who serviced us at the Restaurent, Nizam who went out of the way to get me mangoes, Prabhu the courteous person at the reception and the Restaurent manager Pradeep who even convinced me to settle down at Pondy. It didn’t feel like I am staying at a hotel but a home with family and friends. That how special they all made me feel. Not to forget Padmini who double hatted as a photographer and captured such good photos of me. Thank you team Dupliex for this amazing experience!!

The long Easter weekend was the perfect time for a quick short break. We shortlisted 10 properties and finally zeroed in on Le Dupleix. The property has that heritage look and feel with vintage furniture all over, and is well maintained. We had booked a deluxe room and was upgraded to a suite with balcony at no extra cost. The staff are pleasant and very helpful. The restaurant offers good indian and continental cuisine, and the bar is decently stocked. There is a live band playing on weekends. The ala-carte breakfast options were quite sumptuous. The property is quite close to the beach , cafes and eateries. Proper social distancing and Covid precautions were followed. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience and looking forward to visit again.
