Savoy Hotel

The Savoy Hotel has been here at 77, Sylks Road for a long time now. Being up here in the Nilgiris means the air is usually cool, even when the sun is out bright. We spend a lot of our time just keeping the place tidy and making sure the garden doesn't get too wild because the rain makes everything grow fast. It is a quiet spot, mostly, unless there is a lot of traffic on the road during the holiday season. The building has some age to it, so you might hear the floorboards making noise when people walk down the halls at night. We have a small team here, just a few of us who have lived in these hills for years. We do the cleaning and the cooking and try to keep the fireplaces ready if it gets chilly in the evenings. It is not like those modern places in the city with shiny glass everywhere. Here, things are a bit more slow. We get people coming from far away just to see the greenery, and we just point them toward the best walking paths nearby. Most mornings start with the smell of woodsmoke and the sound of birds in the trees around the property. It is just a simple life up here on Sylks Road, and we like it that way even if the plumbing acts up once in a while or the mist gets so thick you can't see the gate.
