Lobby of Le Meridien Chennai
They say first impressions last, and this must be what the builders of this fine hotel had in mind when they designed and constructed the hotel’s Pallava Dynasty inspired lobby and grand entrance.
The grandeur of that era is reflected in the lobby’s fine marble flooring showcasing a carved fountain and hand tufted carpets; high pillars in the form of elephant trunks lead to the magnificent ceiling lit by Italian chandeliers, and a majestic dome featuring the latest in fibre optic lighting.
The hotel offers six dining options with diverse moods and equally delectable cuisine. The signature restaurant Kayal takes its name from the Tamil word for fish; it is also used to describe the contours of the human eye. It takes advantage of the coastal setting to serve up the catch of the day. The best of local fish, prawns, scallops, crab, lobsters and other scrumptious seafood sizzle as chefs flavour them in the large open-kitchen of this fine dining restaurant, which looks out to the sprawling property and poolside.
Dome, the bar located in the bright and airy lobby is an ideal place for a quick bite during the day or for some evening cocktails with friends, while Cilantro, the spacious and bustling 24 hour multi cuisine restaurant, caters to an array of gastronomic cravings with a Teppanyaki counter, lunch and dinner buffet, and an a la carte menu serving the best of Mediterranean, Asian and Indian cuisine.
