The Gateway Hotel Calicut

In a modern building flanked by trees, this polished hotel is a 14-minute walk from both Kozhikode Beach on the shores of the Laccadive Sea and Vellayil train station, and 2 km from the 14th-century Mishkal Mosque. \nThe warmly decorated rooms have free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and tea and coffeemaking facilities; some have pool views. Upgraded rooms have partial sea views, and suites add separate living rooms, as well as decor themes such as colonial and nautical. \nBreakfast (fee) is available in a relaxed, 24-hour restaurant. There's also a casual cocktail lounge, an outdoor pool and a gym, along with an Ayurvedic spa and a steam room. \nIt was on Kozhikode�s shores that Vasco da Gama and the Portuguese first set foot on the subcontinent. The City of Spices is more than just your gateway to the state and hides quite a few surprises within its environs. Spend some time in this seaside destination to discover its many charms. \n \n
