Relaxing stay in the new Raintree block. Staff very polite and attentive
Pros:

Location was good. Room was spacious and plenty of natural light with verandah.

Cons:

Our Heritage room 119 was overlooking a canopy which blocked view from the window causing restricted view.

Colonial Atmosphere in good location
Pros:

The rooms were spacious and comfortable. I liked the old colonial style of the hotel. Staff is helpful. Nice Tamil Nadu speciality restaurant. Location is good if you want to do some shopping at the mall nearby. For us Chennai served as a short stopover.

Cons:

It was not spotlessly clean, as one would expect from a Taj. From the windows at the entrance, to the pool, it was not clean enough. Except for the gym. Also there is a mouldy smell in the corridor where our room was.

A restoring treat for the senses
Pros:

An oasis of calm in a frenetic part of the city. Beautifully fragranced interiors, marble corridors and a serene atmosphere . The beds were supremely comfortable, my room was week designs and spacious and the temperature control avoided arctic air con that you get in some places

Cons:

The food options were a little disappointing, I didn’t feel the Chettinad restaurant food lived up to fine dining label although service was good. The buffet options were ok lots of choice. Deserts and patisserie not great.
