Chennai impressed with its iconic spots: Ratna Cafe, Geetham's cuisine, Mylapore for Kanchipuram sarees, beach, lighthouse, and Kapaleeshwar Temple. The metro was efficient, but haggling with auto-rickshaws detracts; standardized fares would improve

Chennai is an extremely busy city. They are extending the metro and many streets are torn up. There aren't any real sidewalks so walking can be a challenge. The air quality wasn't great, probably because of all the dirt. But it's fascinating!

Beautiful city, though a lot of obstructions, closed roads and dusty due to construction work for the metro. Overall, a great city with fabulous shopping and dining options.

ITC Grand Chola, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Chennai
10/10 Excellent
"After a few noisy rooms in past (rooms under flight path, looking over railway, roadway, next to gym) I was giving this hotel one last go, as everything else is great. Lucky this time as got a very quiet room, after requesting change from one looking over railway. Fabulous bed, bathroom and linen. Club room well worth it as fully free bar for 2 hours in evening with substantial fresh and cooked buffet in lounge, all included, and amazing breakfast spread. They don’t explain benefits of club room well enough on Hotels.com. Spa is also great, free to use sauna , jacuzzi etc. Extraordinary architecture and finish. Pool area could improve with a drinks service. All staff are so polite and helpful. Immaculate throughout. "
