Notes from us, on Chennai

Things we’d tell a friend before they booked. Specific, opinionated, occasionally inconvenient.

i.

OMR and Nungambakkam are an hour apart.

OMR (Old Mahabalipuram Road) is the IT corridor — TCS, Infosys, Cognizant campuses. Nungambakkam and T Nagar are central business and shopping. If your meeting is on OMR, stay on OMR. The drive in evening traffic is brutal.

OMR: Hyatt Regency, Crowne Plaza, Radisson Blu. Central: Taj Coromandel, ITC Grand Chola, The Leela Palace.

ii.

For a weekend beach stay, head to ECR.

East Coast Road from Chennai to Mahabalipuram has the city’s best leisure resorts. Not luxury at Goa scale, but solid 4–5 star beach properties 60–90 minutes from the city. Good for a Pune-style weekend break inside Chennai.

Fisherman’s Cove (Taj), Radisson Blu Temple Bay, Taj Fisherman’s Cove, InterContinental Mahabalipuram.

iii.

October to December — pick hotels with backup power.

Chennai’s northeast monsoon is no joke. Streets flood, power cuts happen, flights divert. Pick 5-star hotels with proven backup power and good lobby ambience — you may be stuck for hours.

ITC Grand Chola, Taj Coromandel, The Leela Palace, Hyatt Regency — all built for monsoons.
