Seizing the chance to create unique spaces, The Sheraton Grand Chennai showcases sun, sand, sea and South India.
Away from the chaos of metropolitan living, the Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort and Spa is an uber-luxe design haven on East Coast Road that overlooks the magnificent Bay of Bengal. And the very moment you approach it is the moment you comprehend why the word ‘grand’ makes up its name. You are greeted at the entrance by an arresting installation of copper water buffaloes — symbolic of the city of Chennai. This is set against a backdrop of multiple rectangular frames that lead your eye straight to the horizon, presenting breathtaking vistas of the sea from the portico to the other end of the property. Inside, the constant feeling of abundant space, thanks to the layout and high ceilings, is enough to lift anyone’s spirits. The recessed reception door echoes a karaikud influence with a contemporary twist, while the reception area in the lobby resembles the shape of a local kattumaram or catamaran.
