Intercontinental Chennai, Mahabalipuram - utterly beautiful stop for an amazing holiday

I have had the opportunity to spend a night at the prepossessing property of the Intercontinental Hotels - The Intercontinental Chennai, Mahabalipuram. As I have stayed half of my life on the coastal region, its always a yes for a beach resort holiday!

ICChennai situated on the East Coast road along the Bay of Bengal has now became the most desirable resting place to the travelers across South India and especially those from Chennai and Bangalore as its only a few hours drive.





The adoption of the local history can be seen in the construction and design of the hotel. The rooms were built according to the Vaasthu Shastra and it has 106 luxury rooms and suites with unique state-of-the-art gadgets and services.

The conventional welcome to the guests imparts the history and heritage of the place. The Grand Courtyard is surrounded by the pool side, dance floor and the pond.

There are Ocean Suite Rooms, Honeymoon Suites and the Presidential Suites to choose from. I stayed in the Ocean Suite facing the bay directly.


 


The unique mud pot bath tub is one of its kind and not usually seen in any hotels or resorts.

The speciality restaurants are The Melting Pot Pavillion and Market Cafe which is at the General Coutyard level is and all day dining restaurant with round the clock service.

Amrtam Spa is a rejuvenating experience. Not to miss as its therapies are natural and organic.

Tao of Peng is a Chinese speciality restaurant and the food served to us was gourmet; everything one could ask for.



 Dimsum Art by Chef Anup Mingwal was a spectacular affair. The humble dim sums were served in an artistic style which in turn inflated our palate. This was followed by an Ice-cream Art. I admit that this was an extraordinary lunch.

Dinner by the bay was an enduring event. Intercontinental Chennai offers an exclusive dinner by the bay for its patrons on prior reservation, to give them a calm and cozy experience with five star food.




My overall experience with Intercontinental Chennai has hit the right note and I would love to come back for more. I definitely recommend it as the best resort for Women in India too.
