Hyderabad, as well as Park Hyatt Goa Resort and Spa,” said
Peter Fulton
,
Manager Director, Hyatt – 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, luxurious 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. The
impressive series of installations have been set up to not just lend a
distinct character to the spaces, but also to enhance and create an
unparalleled guest experience that is synonymous with the Park Hyatt
brand.

Park Hyatt Chennai offers an array of epicurean tastes and experiences
in a wonderfully sublime setting at The
Dining Room. Overlooking the beautiful lily pond, guests at The
Dining Room can enjoy convenient, all-day dining featuring traditional
South Indian and European bistro fare.
In early 2013, Park Hyatt Chennai will be home to an exciting new dining
extravaganza, The
Flying Elephant. This unique speciality restaurant will mark an
important addition to the city’s fast-growing culinary landscape,
offering diners a selection of exotic cuisines in an awe-inspiring
ambience.
