The Park Review

The Park (not to be confused with the ITC Park Sheraton and Towers on TTK Rd.) is the place to mainline straight into Chennai's nightlife. Once the trendiest hotel in town, some of the effects are looking a little dated, and the reception area is showing a little wear and tear (as do bathroom fittings), which is why we prefer Raintree. But there's no doubting its place in the hearts of Chennai movers and groovers, who flock here to dine at the 24-hour eatery off the lobby, Six-O-One (601), recommended for its unusual, varied menu (and one of the best masala dosas in the city), as well as to the Leather Bar and Pasha, two of the city's most popular after-hours hangouts . Having covered Chennai's social scene (being a guest here gives you free access), you can retreat to your extremely comfortable "pod," and sleep off events on one very comfortable mattress. The Park's other celebrated feature is its terrific rooftop: a sparkling pool surrounded by diwans (Indian recliner sofas), shaded by white cotton drapes that billow in the breeze. The snazzy Ispahani shopping center is within walking distance.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; bar; nightclub; doctor-on-call; fitness center; rooftop pool; room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
