Heritance Madurai, located in Madurai or the Temple City of South India, the site was once part of the British owned Madurai Mills, housing for their senior executives. In the early 1970s, a Club House was introduced to the complex to provide facilities to the staff of the Madurai Coats and the design for it was conceptualised by eminent Architect Geoffrey Bawa. In year 2007, Architect Vinod Jayasinghe, was tasked with renovating and extending this old Club House and the late Colonial houses to a hotel development.
