When one thinks that chennai is crowded and wants to feel earthly again , this is the place. A pure ecotel, and I ahve learned why this place is good. The pub at the enterance has a huge glass fish tank over looking th reception. The resturant waiters are attentive. The roof top resturant is like nothing else. cool settings and even if you think you had enough to eat and drink, you can just sit there and look around.

This hotel is very pleasing to the eye. THis is a very decent hotel suitable for private visits , as well as for biz meets. Plenty of plants wherever we could see, and it is a very refreshing change after a grueling work day.A very ecofriendly hotel , with natural products being made use of wherever possible (soaps etc). Rooftop restaurent is one the best I have ever seen ., with excellent food.
Great room, great service, a definite thumbs up !!!!

Most beautiful I have stayed. Its decor, clealiness, service, food, ambience, facilities everything is great. I had a excellent experience during my stay. Its an environmentally friendly hotel uses no plastics and no chemicals. Rooms are well maintained with a high class ambience.

Wide spread buffet in the coffee shop was excellent. And indian dishes at the Roof Top Restaurant was amazing. Restauant itself located in the 14th floor of the hotel which gives the full view of the city and with great variety of indian & conti foods. The pub called Havana which has got a classy look with variety of drinks to have and ofcourse I enjoyed my chinese food variety at the Lemon Grass a really chinese restaurant.

Some negatives - I was staying at the 7th floor. But came to know of guests staying at the 4th and the 5th floor complaining of loud noise occuring from banquets and parties on the 2nd floor. The bass sounds were actually louder than passing aircraft. Despite numerous attempts, the management were totally ineffective and were unable to manage the noise, by my estimation in excess of 20 guests were complaining and still nothing was done

Trust that was a one off incident. Irrespective of that, my personal experience was great. I would definetly recommend this hotel to others. One of the best hotel to stay in chennai!
