Residency Tower is an urban comfort hotel located in Chennai's business heart. Suited to business travelers and those stopping over in South India, it combines a central location, soundproofed rooms, and a rooftop restaurant recognized across the city, The Crown.

Why choose Residency Tower

The hotel's main appeal lies in its position: it sits in Chennai's business district, making it convenient for reaching major business centers, shops, and transport hubs. Allow roughly thirty minutes to the railway station and forty-five minutes to the airport, depending on the dense traffic typical of the Tamil Nadu metropolis.

The hotel caters to travelers seeking a functional, quiet base despite the urban setting, with thoughtfully curated dining options. Its local reputation rests largely on The Crown, its rooftop restaurant, which ranks among the city's recognized addresses for dining in the heights.

Atmosphere and character

The establishment embraces the hallmarks of an urban comfort hotel, without pursuing overt exoticism. The soundproofing of rooms is a notable feature in a city as vibrant as Chennai, where street noise can linger late into the evening. The overall ambiance is that of a practical, residential hotel, where guests move between lobby, rooftop restaurant, and rooms with ease and informality.

The rooms

Residency Tower offers several room categories, allowing guests to tailor their stay to budget and length of visit:

• Standard room: the entry category, ideal for a night or short transit stay.
• Residence club: the intermediate category, suited to longer stays or guests seeking a bit more space.
• Suite: the premium category, for travelers on extended business trips or couples desiring enhanced comfort.

All rooms are soundproofed and equipped with business hotel standards: electronic safe, kettle with hospitality tray, flat-screen television, and other amenities typical of this category.

Dining and services

The Crown, the hotel's rooftop restaurant, is the property's signature element. It serves continental and Indian cuisine, with both an indoor dining room and an open-air terrace. The menu covers a broad spectrum, making it a versatile option for dining on-site without venturing into Chennai.

The restaurant regularly features a live western band, creating an atmosphere suited to winding down after a day of meetings or sightseeing. It's a real advantage for concluding your day without having to travel elsewhere in the city.

Location in Chennai

Chennai, capital of Tamil Nadu, is one of South India's major gateways. The business district where the hotel stands is central, well-served by taxis and ride-sharing services, which simplifies trips to cultural sites like Fort Saint George, the temples of Mylapore, or the expansive Marina Beach. The railway station and airport remain accessible by car in under an hour under normal traffic conditions.

Nearby and complementary stops

Chennai often serves as the starting point for exploring the Coromandel Coast and the Tamil hinterland. Several stops can extend a stay:

• In Mahabalipuram, roughly 1.5 hours south, the Hotel Mamalla Heritage is a practical option for discovering UNESCO-listed coastal temples.
• For a seaside retreat nearby, the Ideal Beach Resort offers a beachfront stop.
• Toward Pondicherry, the Hotel Atithi is an appreciated base in the former French settlement.
• Should your itinerary extend toward Karnataka, the Hotel Regaalis Mysore or the Aloft Bengaluru Whitefield can serve as urban stops.
