GOA, goes back many Centuries
and was once the Rome of the East! A Meeting Point
of East and West - A Confluence of Varied Cultures,
Philosophies, Religions and Beliefs, where Civilizations
of the Occident mingled with those of the Orient
conjuring an air of romance and mystique.
Hindu, Christian and Moor, Philosopher and Saint,
Prince and Pauper, Mendicant and Noble, Poet and
Savant, Mariner and Buccaneer, Fortune Hunter
and Romantic, Artist and Sophist, Foot Soldier
and General, Singer and Fiddler, Charlatan and
Fraud and so many others of the same ilk have
All Passed GOA’S way and
left their Print on this Melting Pot and Cradle
of Civilization and History..
A Legacy of this Vibrant Past is Fontainhas
- Asia’s only Latin Quarter.
Located in the Capital City of Panjim,
It’s Winding Alleys and Quaint Bye Lanes,
Old Portals, Run Down Houses and Decaying Mansions
Stand Testimony to a Grand Era long gone by !
The Panjim Inn, the Panjim
Pousada and the Panjim People’s
are Three Stately Colonial Fontainhas
Mansions, Renovated and Restored to Recapture
the Nostalgia, Poignance and Aura of the Romantic
Past.
All three are Boutique
Heritage Hotels, Unique in Style and
Character. While the Panjim Inn is Christian in
Genesis, the Pousada is Hindu and the Peoples
is a mix of the two having once been the town's
leading Secular School, the three Co-Existing
in Harmony with a Tolerantly Secular Indulgence
to each Others Different Cultural Ethos. Located
in close vicinity of each other, they are now
Heritage Family Hotels providing
unique and Romantic Holiday and
Honeymoon Retreats to the Budget
and Discerning Traveller looking for
something different.
The Panjim Inn has been formally
Classified as GOA’s First Heritage
Hotel by the Heritage Hotel Classification
Committee of the government of India.
