    “Amazing family friendly 5 star hotel”

    We have stayed many times at this hotel and this was the first time with young kids. The front reception staff are welcoming and very attentive to the needs of guests. Many staff were known to us from our previous stay. Grandkids loved the pool and buffet breakfast. Lovely menu and they catered for gluten-free needs too. We will be back again. Thanks for a lovely few days.

    “Old-fashioned Style & Service at its Best”

    From our midnight arrival & check-in after very long flights from New Zealand until our check-out four days later, we received impeccably graceful & efficient service from all the staff members, in this peaceful & stylish heritage hotel. The rooms, grounds, poolside area & restaurant are immaculately tidy & restful, a wonderfully peaceful haven amidst the noise & bustle of Chennai outside the hotel walls. A special thanks to Mr Miller for his introduction to Chettinad cuisine on our first evening, Mr Shaji for his attentive service at breakfast times, & lovely Ruby and her wonderful reception team.
