Wondering what the new luxury brand on Ethiraj Salai holds for you? Within its concrete walls is a luxurious setting complete with elegant interiors and a staff that seems eager to wait on you hand and foot.

The Radisson Blu Hotel City Centre is the latest addition to Chennai's hospitality scene and it packs quite a punch. The 24-hour coffee shop, Oasis promises the best of Indian and continental cuisine. Its proximity to the swimming pool suggests a memorable dining experience.

Dining delights

‘The Great Kebab Factory' is not new to the people, and it will continue to churn out its signature kebabs and Indian breads. Keeping in mind, the city's fascination for sea food, it presents Coast To Coast, a speciality restaurant overlooking the pool. After all the good food, how about pampering yourself? The spa Chakra is waiting to please you.

For those who love their drink, Radisson Blu presents the charmingly colonial Winchester Bar, set in heavy tones and dark wood finish. It is ready to lure you with canapés, exquisite liquor, and its own wine and cigar room.

A quick stroll through the lobby and into the rooms, and it's apparent that Radisson Blu wants to keep things stylishly simple. The hotel is designed by interior designer Vikram Phadke, a name synonymous with clean lines and simplistic designs that spell minimalistic opulence.

“It is not just a home away from home, but it is indulgence that'll make you want to stay just a bit longer,” says Dhananjay Kumar, general manager. Its biggest advantage is its location — smack in the heart of the city.

Eagerly hip, it strives to make you feel comfortable, and that does not come cheap! For reservations, call 3040-4444 or email reservations@rdchennai.com.
