Family Friendly Hotels in Mysore

For many travelers, the real magic of southern India is found in Mysore. The city is defined by its royal heritage, most spectacularly displayed at the illuminated Mysore Palace on Sunday evenings. Beyond the palace walls, the scent of sandalwood and incense fills the air in the Devaraja Market, while the Chamundi Hill temple offers panoramic views of the city below. It’s a place where you can spend a morning practicing yoga at a local *ashram* and an afternoon admiring the intricate stonework at the 12th-century Hoysala temples in nearby Somnathpur.

The city center around the palace is ideal for first-time visitors, putting major sights within walking distance. Mysore is wonderfully suited for cultural explorers, families on a heritage trip, and even solo travelers drawn to its relaxed pace and wellness retreats. Getting here is straightforward, with direct trains from Bangalore and a well-connected domestic airport receiving daily flights. Auto-rickshaws are the best way to zip between attractions once you’ve arrived.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find around 30 places to stay in Mysore. The selection is dominated by excellent mid-range heritage hotels, often housed in converted royal mansions, along with a solid range of comfortable budget guesthouses. For a special treat, a handful of serene luxury resorts sit on the city's outskirts, offering spa treatments and palace views.
