Taj - Coromandel, Chennai |

Taj Coromandel is a rich fusion of tradition and contemporary design which reflects the ethos and culture of the
vibrant city of Chennai. It is Chennai’s only hotel that finds a place in the “Leading Hotels of the World".
Resting in the heart of Chennai’s business, shopping and commercial district and at a
convenient distance of 17 kilometers from the airport, this gracious venue has played host to royalty, heads of state, corporates and celebrities. |

The Transformation Today, as Taj enters a new era, so does Taj Coromandel. Over the years,
Taj Coromandel witnessed many changes, becoming more attuned to the
modern traveller, turning contemporary in style, yet never losing its
traditional edge.
From the arrival experience of the landscaped driveway to the grand new
lobby, outfitted in wood, glass and water, to the chic refurbished restaurants
offering bespoke culinary experiences to the rooms where modern amenities
are at your fingertips, an experience of luxury envelopes you. |
The Arrival
The approach to Taj Coromandel is through a landscaped driveway. Clear
glass doors open upon the grand new lobby, designed in soothing tones of
rich browns and creams. The sound of flowing water, the stateliness of
Italian Satuario marble and the comfort of textured wood panels andframes create a space that is warm, welcoming and dynamic. Chandeliers designed and created by the hallowed Preciosa of the Czech Republic,
whose history dates back to 1724, helps add to this distinct ambience of
the lobby . The lobby branches in different directions to each one of the hotel’s awardwining
restaurants and bars – the relaxing Tea Lounge with its water body,
the hotels all day dining restaurant Anise, the renowned South Indian
restaurant Southern Spice, the iconic Oriental restaurant Golden Dragon,
and Chipstead, the contemporary new bar. At the extreme end of the lobby
is a stunning reminder of the hotel’s South Indian roots, showcasing a
carved granite temple motif with water flowing through it right next to a
floating staircase leading to the lower lobby. The lower lobby offers access to the exclusive Prego, the Italian specialty
restaurant by-invitation-only Chambers lounge, and the new sparkling
25- metre infinity-edge pool. |
