Thiruvananthapuram's 3 star hotel segment currently lists 3 venues on Spalba, spanning two distinct parts of the city — the central transit hub of Thampanoor and the coastal leisure destination of Kovalam. Together, these properties offer a dependable tier of event-ready hospitality, with combined event spaces accommodating anywhere from 50 to 1,000 guests and a majority of halls designed for gatherings in the 90–300 person range.
The Venues Available
The three properties on Spalba represent a well-rounded mix for this category. The Terrace Business Hotel brings dedicated event terraces — the Grand Terrace and Royale Terrace — making it a strong choice for corporate gatherings or intimate celebrations that benefit from an open-air setting. KTDC Samudra, positioned in Kovalam, houses the G.V. Raja Convention Centre — one of the larger spaces in this tier — alongside banquet halls including Shravanam and Vaishakam. KTDC Grand Chaithram, located in Thampanoor, offers the Makam hall, convenient for events where proximity to the city railway station matters.
Capacity and Event Fit
Four of the available event spaces across these venues seat under 200 guests, reflecting the tier's natural strength in mid-size seminars, workshops, team off-sites, and social functions. One space — the G.V. Raja Convention Centre at KTDC Samudra — scales up to 1,000 guests, making it an outlier in this category suited to larger conferences or community events. For most planners working with a guest list between 90 and 300, the typical hall configurations across all three properties will align well without needing to step up to a higher hotel tier.
Where These Venues Are Located
The two localities represented here serve different event profiles. Thampanoor, home to KTDC Grand Chaithram, places attendees within easy reach of Thiruvananthapuram Central railway station — a practical advantage for outstation delegates. Kovalam, where KTDC Samudra sits, offers a coastal backdrop that naturally suits leisure-linked events, retreats, and association meets that benefit from a change of environment from the city centre.
