Beside Guindy National Park and close to the airport, Park Hyatt Chennai is built as a calm city sanctuary with real local texture. Rooms and suites are arranged around a lily-pond courtyard, using warm materials, marble detail and generous layouts for a residential feel. Dining centres on the multi-level Flying Elephant, and the rooftop infinity pool, Antahpura Spa and art-filled public spaces round out the sense of place. It sits between the business district, green space and the airport, but stays quiet and considered throughout.
