IHG to unveil first Crowne Plaza in Chennai

The InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) recently announced the signing of the 286-room Crowne Plaza Chennai Adyar Park with Adyar Gate Hotels Limited. The hotel, which IHG is now managing, will be rebranded as Crowne Plaza Chennai Adyar Park, marking the entry of the company's Crowne Plaza brand into the key Indian city. The hotel joins Holiday Inn Express Chennai Mahindra World City, making it the second IHG hotel in Chennai. Located in the city's central business district and taking the site of the existing Sheraton Park Chennai, the hotel bears additional significance for IHG as it was originally the site of the company's first Holiday Inn to open in India in the 1970s.

Just 10 kilometres from Chennai International Airport, the hotel features a wide array of excellent dining options which include Dakshin – a popular destination for regional cuisines from India's southern peninsula; Cappuccino – the 24-hour all day dining restaurant; The Residency which boasts global culinary delights and On the Rocks – popular amongst guests and locals for its grilled cuisine and famous for hosting Michelin star-winning chefs. Guests can also enjoy evening drinks and bar snacks at The Westminster bar overlooking the pool and round up the night at Gatsby 2000, the hotel's night club which is also one of the city's most popular private event spaces.

As a globally recognised business travel focused brand, Crowne Plaza Chennai Adyar Park is equipped with a 24-hour business centre and generous meeting space including a ballroom which can seat 500 people. Guests can enjoy the fully-equipped health club and an outdoor pool during their leisure time.
