What Makes This Hotel Stand Out

A hotel history dating to 1854

The property began operating as the Imperial Hotel in 1854 and is described as South India's oldest hotel.

Conservation-led restoration

The 2016–2018 renovation preserved the hotel's colonial-era identity while rebuilding its interiors for contemporary use.

Colonial and tropical modernist architecture

The property combines a retained Art Deco façade and heritage elements with a tower-block composition and linking pool associated with Geoffrey Bawa.

Mahabalipuram temple carvings

Wooden carvings sourced from 16th- and 17th-century temples in Mahabalipuram form part of the preserved decorative character.

Heritage and Tower wings

The hotel has 134 rooms and 13 suites arranged across its Heritage and Tower wings.

Four-poster beds and collected interiors

Rooms and suites feature four-poster beds, vintage prints and objets d’art.

Southern Chettinad fine dining

Raintree presents Southern Chettinad cuisine as the hotel's principal fine-dining concept.

Three named dining venues

The dining collection comprises Raintree, the all-day global café The Verandah, and The Lady Connemara Bar & Lounge.

Preserved mature trees

The grounds retain a dramatic old raintree and two nagavalli trees identified as preserved elements during the renovation.

Central Binny Road location

The hotel sits on Binny Road near Anna Salai, Chennai's historic downtown, commercial and civic corridors.
