Introduction
One of the oldest and most interesting cities of southern India, Trivandrum or Thiruvananthapuram as it is officially called, is not just the capital of Kerala but also one of its most important cities. Trivandrum is also home to a number of important business and academic institutes, most of which are visited daily by people from all across the country.
Trivandrum is also famous for her medical facilities, as well as renowned as an important center of Research and Development. All these factors have contributed to the fame that is today associated with Trivandrum or the "ever green city of India" as Mahatma Gandhi once called it. These factors have in turn contributed to drawing thousands of people to the territories of Trivandrum each year, which has in turn brought about an increase in the number of Five Star Hotels in Thiruvananthapuram.
