8 Hotel Rooms A restored 17th century British bungalow, stands as a reminder of a Danish Admiral, Ove Gjedde, sent by the king of Denmark with two ships. The building is as much an example of intelligent conservation as it is an evocation of the past. The 8 rooms are huge with15ft tall doors and carefully chosen vintage furniture, paintings and artefacts.
While most Nagapattinam hotels are born with the beauty and treasures of history, not many have the luxury of housing architectural treasures visible from the verandah outside your room ! . An early 14th century Pandya temple on the left and a 17th century Danish fort to the right makes The Bungalow on the Beach one of the most distinctive Nagapattinam hotels. Time becomes irrelevant when you stand full east facing the sunrise

In 1986, Mr. Aman Nath acquired Neemrana Fort-Palace and began its restoration opening it to guests in 1991. A few years later in 1992, Late Mr. Francis Wacziarg joined Aman Nath, by investing in Neemrana Fort-Palace when it was already running as a hotel. In 1993, Aman Nath & Late Mr. Francis Wacziarg co-founded Neemrana Hotels Pvt Ltd. an organisation, noted for restoring ruins and turning them into heritage hotelsWhat was first spotted in 1977 as a vast and splendid ruin of the Fort Palace of Neemrana has since become synonymous in India as a foremost example of architectural restoration-for-reuse. We have focused continuously on restoring our past historical wonders into modern day heritage hotels, which can give a true feel about our history, culture, heritage, traditions and values to the discerning traveller. We call ourselves 'non-hotel' hotels as none of our properties were originally meant to be hotels. They are all monuments of historical significance with different stories to tell about our glorious history and culture. And, they have been restored by us to their past magnificence and glory!
