The Promenade is very conveniently located on the beachfront (Goubert Avenue). Many key tourist attractions like Sri Aurobindo ashram, Ganesha temple, Puducherry museum, French war memorial, old lighthouse etc. are all within walking distance. There are many eating and shopping options within short walking distance from the hotel. Taxis and auto rickshaws are easily available for slightly faraway attractions like Auroville. Service and food at the hotel is excellent and staff go out of the way to help the guests. Facility is a bit old though and it shows in the quality of fittings and furniture. This needs attention from hotel management. All in all, it was a very nice stay at The Promenade.
