We're thrilled to join the Park Hyatt portfolio as the 30th hotel and look forward to providing guests with an ambience of sophistication with service that is gracious and truly personalized."

"We are proud to expand the Park Hyatt brand in India with the opening of Park Hyatt Chennai, which joins the newly opened Park Hyatt Hyderabad, as well as Park Hyatt Goa Resort and Spa," said Peter Fulton, Manager Director, Hyatt International - Southwest Asia. "This opening is reflective of the thoughtful growth we're experiencing in India, as well as the growth of the brand in destinations that will ultimately build customer preference."

Design and Guestrooms
Park Hyatt Chennai features 201 luxury guestrooms, including 20 indulgent suites, all thoughtfully designed to create an inviting environment and contribute to the understated sophistication and mood of the hotel. Rich travertine marble floors and plush hand-tufted rugs are luxuries found in every guestroom, along with polished marble bathrooms with deep-soak bathtubs. In addition, all suites feature exquisite, relaxing stone plunge tubs.

The hotel embraces the serenity of the surrounding Guindy National Park with flowing landscapes and relaxing interiors, complemented by a graceful Lily Pond dotting the heart of the inner courtyard of the hotel. The elegant and chic interiors create a unique, luxuriant and calming ambience, reflecting the quiet and refined side of Chennai. The hotel also showcases beautiful, custom-made art installations that have been curated around the concept of Indian textiles and heritage.
