Highlights

  • Hilltop setting – Perched above Antananarivo, the hotel enjoys far-reaching views, particularly atmospheric at sunrise and sunset.

  • Peaceful atmosphere – Removed from the city’s traffic and noise, it feels calm and residential, ideal after busy days exploring.

  • Malagasy design – Interiors blend contemporary comfort with local materials and craftsmanship, giving a strong sense of place.

  • Attentive service – Staff are genuinely warm and helpful, often anticipating needs rather than simply responding to them.

  • Spacious rooms – Generous layouts, good natural light and well-considered details make rooms easy to relax in.

  • Convenient base – Close enough for easy access to key districts while still offering a welcome feeling of escape.

Good to know

How do we get there?

Royal Palissandre is approximately 17km from Ivato International Airport, allowing 45 minutes to one hour by car, depending on traffic conditions.

Are children welcome?

Yes. Royal Palissandre is happy to welcome children, offering a calm, comfortable environment suited to families, though it is best enjoyed by those seeking a quieter, more relaxed stay rather than child-focused facilities.

Giving back

Royal Palissandre follows a low-key, locally minded approach rather than a formal, highly publicised sustainability policy. Efforts typically focus on employing local staff, showcasing Malagasy materials and craftsmanship, and operating at a scale that limits environmental impact. For travellers with specific sustainability priorities, we recommend checking current practices directly, as initiatives may evolve quietly rather than through formal certification.

Why we like The Royal Palissandre

Antananarivo is not exactly known for top class hotels and as most travellers will only stop for a night, this is a good option with a great location. The staff a incredibly friendly and that pool is a wonderful place to cool off.
