Munnar Gets a New Luxury Resort: 1924 Clock House Opens

A century-old planter's bungalow near Attukad Waterfalls began welcoming guests this month. 1924 Clock House, a restored stone property in Pallivasal, Munnar, is now taking bookings. The resort keeps its original hand-built walls, chimneys, and the clock tower that gave the estate its name.

The opening adds roughly 20 rooms to Munnar's luxury inventory. The property sits among tea plantations at an altitude where mist lingers into the afternoon. Interiors follow a colonial theme: the Grand Fireplace, a century-old centerpiece, anchors the common area. Rooms named after local landmarks like Churchill Bridge and Ladies Bridge open onto valley views.

Dining features the Victorian Borma, a heritage cooking setup built around plantation-era recipes. There is an infinity pool, Ayurveda treatments, and yoga sessions set in the tea gardens. For events, the Planters’ Theatre banquet hall uses stone walls and Burma teak.

The resort offers three packages: Tea Garden Love Escape, Tea Garden Colonial Escape, and Family Delight Package. Rates were not disclosed.
