Our verdict
98 Acres is the most-photographed luxury hotel in Ella — stone-and-timber chalets scattered across a working tea estate with uninterrupted Ella Rock views. The infinity pool is the visual signature, the room sizes are generous, and breakfast is on the cliff edge. Not as refined as Tea Trails, but the best non-Resplendent option in the hill country.
