Hello, Siya87 and welcome to Flyertalk!
I didn't know what Ooty hotels were, so I went to this website:
http://www.ootyhotels.net/ooty_hotels.htm
Ooty is a town in Tamil Nadu, India. The hotel listing on the web page above lists the hotels in town, giving them a star ranking. The highest ranking is 4 stars, and that goes to a Holiday Inn and a Days Inn.
Neither of these are luxury hotels, so I think you will probably not get the answers you desire in this forum. To improve responses, I am going to move this thread to our India forum, where I believe the posters are more likely to have the information you are looking for.
Again, welcome to FT!

I have stayed at both the Taj Savoy and the Holiday Inn in Ooty. (Oct 2011.)
Both reasonable experiences, but nothing spectacular. I probably won't return to Ooty, not because of something with the hotels, but just becuase the whole place seemed very "meh" to me....
The only thing I really liked were the tea estates and the (export quality only) white needle tea. Picked up quite a few packs. ^

Ive stayed at the savoy, Holiday inn gem park and Sullivan court. They are all pretty good if not amazing hotels.
Savoy has a nice old-world-british-raj ambience and i tend to lean toward the savoy more than the others.
you can also try staying at Coonoor. its a little less crowded and touristy compared to ooty. the Gateway Hotel coonoor is an option worth checking out.
hope you have a great trip!

anyone else find it strange that this thread has an unusual number of first time posters who have not returned to post again????
