Top Chennai Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Chennai

8/10 Good

"10/10 stay! The room was clean and comfortable, the pool was relaxing and the fitness center being 24hrs was convenient. They had a variety of restaurants to choose from and room service too. I also had a great experience at the spa. They also made it super easy to get me transport to the airport and the driver also arrived early to ensure I made it on time. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again in the future."
