THE PARK POD CHENNAI



Like an urban hybrid flower The Park Pod Chennai started as a seed that bloomed into a completely unique blossom. Atul Malhotra and Vikram Phadke of India’s pioneering luxury designer shop, Evoluzuione, created the bi-level glass and concrete building. Priya Paul of The Park Hotels stepped in to manage the property. Her creative input was the final necessary touch that made this unique design hotel a standout destination.

Located at Khader Nawaz Khan Road, by day, its discrete location set back from the road, and the curvaceous leafy branches that embrace the building, immediately gives the feeling of an organic oasis. The glass facade and ceiling allow dappled light to flood into its public spaces, giving much of the building a sense of transparency. At night, there is a different, more mysterious feel: the walkway to the hotel’s reception area is illuminated with the warm glow of lit oversized red planters. Besides the funky Absolute Bar, the restaurant, Italia, is the beating heart of the hotel, a buzzing eatery and bar popular with trendsetting locals. And in the courtyard the shadows of giant trees twist over a lap pool of bright red mosaic tiles as a DJ spins dance tunes. At the Park Pod it’s always a little unclear where the borders to the inside and outside begin and end.

Taj Coromandel Chennai




Chennai, the industrial capital of Tamil Nadu in southern India, is where the history of British settlement in India has ancient roots. This has resulted in some splendidly monumental municipal buildings and a number of broad avenues and gardens.

But Chennai's history stretches way beyond the British presence, with its resourceful citizens actively engaging in trade with the Chinese, Romans, Greeks and others more than 2,000 years ago.

Still retaining much of its traditional charm, this bustling city, formerly called Madras, provides a captivating insight into southern heritage. Chennai is proud of its Tamil culture and in many ways is still traditionally conservative, lacking the cosmopolitan flavor (and nightlife) of Mumbai, Bengaluru (Bangalore) and Delhi.

Music, dance and many other art forms from south India are widespread in Chennai and the Tamil film industry is huge. Religious heritage has left its mark with old churches, ancient temples and of course the wonderful shore temple of Mamallapuram, under two-hour drive away.

Chennai has grown dramatically over the past few decades and has enjoyed marked economic growth in recent years, thanks mainly to a booming IT industry. Today, Chennai sprawls out in all directions over the flat land along the coast and up the river valley and feels somewhat hectic and chaotic as new shopping malls and modern sky rises spring up, residential districts spread, and squatter settlements are scattered throughout.

Dining
This metropolitan city caters to any taste. Menus are marked by popular cuisine, ethnic as well as international, that will invigorate your taste buds. Chennai dishes are based on rice, coconut oil and lentils and offer plenty of options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. For those seeking International options… Chinese, Continental, Italian, and Japanese dishes are available at various eateries spread in and around the city.


Nightlife
Chennai's nightlife scene is curbed by laws that prohibit bars and nightclubs operating beyond midnight, although some do stay open a little longer. Shame, as there are some fabulous venues around, although a fraction of the number seen in Mumbai, Bengaluru (Bangalore) and Delhi. Of the few decent bars and clubs, most are in the 5-star hotels. Many nightclubs have a cover charge (usually only on weekends), a smart-dress code and may only allow couples (i.e. not single males). Most national newspapers have a Chennai edition, including the Hindu, Indian Express and Times of India, with a supplement dedicated to local news and listings. CityInfo is a fortnightly What's On guide with basic listings, available at tourist offices and some hotels. Hallo Madras is a monthly city guide.
