Staying in the Best Hotels in Chennai Put Travelers in a Great Mood

[Gaurav Kapoor]

More often than not, after deciding on a travel destination, we also scramble to decide on a good hotel in the vicinity of all the places of tourist interest. This is especially true for Chennai, since the heavy traffic of this city is well known among travelers. Tourists from all parts of the world flock to Chennai, and stay on for long vacation, thus one should always book in advance when planning to visit the capital of Tamil Nadu. Booking one of the best hotels in Chennai is what everyone aspires to do, but how do you reckon which one is the best? Well, the easiest option probably is looking at the website of the hotels, viewing their rooms and amenities, and finding out what sort of service they provide.

When looking for hotel rooms in Chennai on the web, make sure the hotel you pick offers you several alternatives so that you could choose according to your budget and requirements. After all, you might not want to book a hotel that only offers suites, if you are traveling alone. On the other hand, booking a single standard room, if you are traveling with family might be a little difficult to manage! So choose a hotel that offers all types of rooms. Since in-room amenities are a big deal these days, with hotels going above and beyond their capabilities for providing total home like comfort to their guests, make sure the basic amenities are in place. Free wireless Internet access is a must, for keeping in touch with your work and loved ones; as is an electronic safe for storing your laptop and other valuables. LCD televisions are a part and parcel of a hotel stay these days, and if a state of the art DVD player is thrown in as part of the deal, that's all the more better! For those lazy nights, when you don't want to leave your room to have a bite to eat, make sure that the hotel offers 24 hours in-room dining.

Other amenities to look for when booking one of the best hotels in Chennai would include a huge swimming pool, a well equipped fitness center, a spa and salon for relaxing and pampering yourself, laundry and dry cleaning services, a cutting edge business center, and of course a travel desk. A travel desk is especially useful if you haven't planned your sightseeing itinerary, since they can point you in the right direction and even provide transport details. A concierge and a flower shop could also be helpful, but not really that necessary! Also find out if these hotels have restaurants that serve good food, and the more restaurants and bars these hotels have, the better it is for a foodie.
