HOTELS

ROOMS WITH A VIEW
Designed by Atlanta-based architectural firm, Smallwood,
Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart and Associates, Inc., the hotel’s
inspiration comes from the spirit of Chettinad palaces and
their architectural splendour.
Built in a colonial style, the property’s interior design
has been done by DesignWilkes and landscape design by
Bill Bensley. The design is rooted in tradition and
straddles the fine balance of contemporary luxury with its
polished marble corridors, high, chandelier-lit ceilings,
manicured gardens and a curated collection of art and
artefacts.
The rooms seamlessly blend modern comforts with the
intricate artistry of Chettinad architecture. More than
half of the hotel’s spacious rooms and suites have sweeping
sea views thanks to its location on the Adyar seafront.
There are rooms and suites across categories whose
sizes range between 4,842 sq. ft and 538 sq. ft. These
include the Presidential Suite, Chairman Suite, Royal
Suite – Two Bedrooms, Royal Suite – One Bedroom,
Premier Suite, Executive Suite, Premier Club Room, Royal
Club Sea View Room, Royal Club Room, Deluxe Sea View
Room, Deluxe Pool View Room, and Deluxe Room.
To its credit, even the smallest rooms provide more
space than the average business traveller probably needs.
While only the suites come with dedicated butler service,
all room categories have walk-in closets and bathtubs.
