ITC Grand Chola, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Chennai

In the heart of Chennai, minutes from Guindy Race Course and the Chennai Snake Park. Close to Olympia Tech Park, Raj Bhavan and about a 10–15 minute drive from Chennai International Airport. A true city-center luxury hotel for business and leisure travelers.

A palatial, Southern-India–inspired property with sweeping public spaces and four distinct entryways. Around 600 rooms and serviced apartments blend traditional motifs with modern tech — think refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, laptop safes and bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and rainfall showerheads. Rooms feel grand but lived-in, with design flourishes that nod to local empires.

Three outdoor swimming pools, a full spa with massages and facials, a 24-hour health club, sauna and a hair salon. Onsite nightlife and shops add after-dark energy. Family-friendly services include babysitting/childcare on request. The hotel also emphasizes sustainability, meeting much of its energy needs from on-site wind and solar and running extensive recycling programs.

One of the largest conference, banqueting and exhibition spaces in the country. A 24-hour business center, meeting rooms and wired high-speed internet (available) keep events running smoothly. Airport shuttles, limo/town car service and free valet parking are available for added convenience.

Multiple restaurants, bars and a coffee shop serve regional, national and global cuisine. Expect South Indian specialties alongside international menus, plus 24-hour room service and buffet breakfasts each morning for an extra charge. Great for food-minded travelers who want both local flavor and global options.
