The Raintree, St. Mary's Road

This hotel was so wonderful. It is a definite for anyone staying in Chennai. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel pampered. Uma and Ritu were so lovely and helpful every time I had a question or needed something. Dhanush, Hemrat and Dinish were also helpful making sure I was able to book tours through the hotel. The three restaurants on site were equally tremendous and made it hard to choose every time! The included breakfast buffet was the perfect way to start the day. I also appreciate all the five star servers, Pretty, Annie, Pranay, Dinesh, Benita and Marisa. And Santosh always welcoming and kind when returning to hotel or on our way out. This is a boutique hotel where they care for their clients like family! Almost forgot the amazing rooftop pool with beautiful views of the city! Such a great hotel.

Really excellent stay in suite room. They can add beds for extra guests in living area. Also very comfortable sofa and can get extra duvet. Main bedroom in suite really super : so comfortable and quiet with plenty of space and super size bed. Great bathroom and good linen but no bath. I’ve stayed in Raintree many times in standard deluxe rooms but this suite was exceptional and not too expensive compared to other normal rooms in 5stars hotels in Chennai, but way better. I’ve stayed in most of Chennai 5 stars in last 15 years. Breakfast and dinner buffet also way better than most of 5 star hotels. So delicious and great staff. Only two downsides. This hotel used to have a nice roof top pool with Buddha statue at one end and was very peaceful. Now they have made the pool smaller and removed the Buddha to add more restaurant tables. Very sad. Now like kids paddling pool. Swimming not possible now. Also management need to check all bookings clearly as tried to deny me dinner buffet and guests happy hour drinks I had already paid for. No apology from manager afterwards, or after hotel fire alarm went off in early hours! Did give a few hours late checkout after requesting it. Much appreciated as room so comfortable! With massive TV. Like own cinema. Overall highly recommend suite if a few guests. Make sure to get dinner and happy hours package for all guests on Hotels.com. And bring copy of booking. Very good value. Highly recommended overall.
