A stay at a five-star hotel adds glamour and sophistication to a trip to Chennai and serves as a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of this Indian mega-city. With a history dating to the first century, when Chennai was ruled by various South Indian dynasties, the city is rich with cultural and historic heritage. Situated on the Coromandel Coast, Chennai is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery and a white sand coastline, known as Marina Beach, which is one of the longest beaches in the world. As many five-star hotels emphasize style and design, guests will experience Indian culture and customs in luxury.
Fisherman's Cove Chennai is on a historic Dutch fort on the Coromandel Coast with direct beach access. Guests sleep in individual cottages and villas that feature European and Scandinavian design and are surrounded by lush gardens. All rooms feature a contemporary style combined with an India avant garde design and come with Malaysian wicker wood furniture, fine Indian silk fabrics and garden and sea views. They include state-of-the-art amenities and luxury bath room supplies.
