Mascot Hotel, building in India
Mascot Hotel is a heritage business hotel in Thiruvananthapuram that was originally built as officers' quarters during World War I. The property offers well-furnished rooms and maintains early 20th-century style in its lobby and public spaces, with green landscapes surrounding the building in the city center.
The hotel was built during World War I to house British Army officers and served as an important facility for military personnel. Since then it has evolved into a civilian hotel while being managed by KTDC, an organization that operates several heritage and business hotels across Kerala and works to maintain the building's historical character.
The hotel sits centrally in Thiruvananthapuram and is easily accessible by local taxi or auto-rickshaw from the airport or train station. The warm and humid climate year-round means visitors should wear light clothing and stay hydrated while exploring the city and surroundings.
The hotel is the only property in Thiruvananthapuram that blends British military heritage with modern business needs, creating an unusual mix of historical roots and contemporary function. Guests often use it as a base to explore nearby attractions such as Kovalam beach, located just a short drive away.
