It was great to stay at a historic landmark hotel that is maintained to the highest standards. The staff is exceptionally efficient, courteous and helpful. The breakfast and lunch options were simply outstanding. Being centrally located right on mount road it was easy to get around to other places in the city. Highly recommend staying at this wonderful hotel and enjoy your Chennai trip.

This is my 3rd time I stayed in this hotel with my family and my experience was amazing. We were treated like we belong to a royal family. For every entry and exit from the hotel, a porter will always be there to open the door for you. I stayed for 5 days and either Saravanan or Saravanan B opened the door for me and helped me loading and unloading the luggage from the taxi. We were greeted by their front desk as if we belong to a royal family. Rosa welcomed us by making us wear a spiritual garland and served a honey-lemon drink, was delicious. We were escorted to our room and our luggage was already sent in our room. They have a restaurant on the ground floor named Veranda. We had both breakfast and dinner in Veranda. Food was delicious and there were quite a few options from Indian traditional food to Western. A Prabhakaran is the magic chef and I admire his modesty and hospitality. They offer buffet in breakfast and if you had the breakfast you won't even need lunch. I am short in words for the hospitality I received from customer relationship managers S Lokanath, Rishab, and Anjali. They were with us until we were done with our breakfast or dinner asking us if we need anything. Since my family was unable to make it in-person, S Lokanath and Rishab arranged in-room dinning and sent the food as per my wife and kids liking. If I ever again visit Chennai, I will definitely stay in this hotel.

13 day stay over Xmas and New Year. Very good
At check in make sure you stay on the east side of the hotel, facing the hotel. West side requires renovating and refurbishment. We had to take my wife to hospital to demonstrate she was unwell for us to get a room with a door to let fresh air after two days of 13 day stay. Windows open partially and too stuffy and dusty. Reception try to sell you an upgrade not provide what you had requested. Staff on the ground, poolside, restaurant, house keeping are just amazing. They made our stay great. Some middle managers are amazing when they realized our issues. No need to give names, too many are just amazing. The chef, made us healthy breakfast, just first class. made my wife get better. Would I stay there again? Yes. Feedback is to overall manager to fix issues to get better.

Everyone is a VIP at the Taj
A glamourous oasis of calm in the very centre of Chennai. This hotel is special, and the staff treat you like royalty. A most special mention to the man who looks after the pool during the week - he made the sunbeds for us and even offered to move our things to the shadier aide of the pool when the sun was too hot. A real stand out. Another superstar was Miller.g who truely made us feel like VIPs in the veranda restaurant on our last night. We were most saddened to leave as the staff made us feel like this was our home. We stayed in a heritage room which was beautifully appointed - though perhaps when bookind be mindful that this is the older side of the hotel.

I enjoyed my stay once again. What a fantastic crew of staff! My special mentions would be Lokanath and Yuvaraj from the Verndah! I was served flawlessly by them both each time I ate the restaurant. I don’t think I will look beyond Connemara for my stay in Madras. There may be better places in convenience and ambience but the staff here make all the difference.

Outstanding factor for our stay over 5 days was the warmth of the staff. Would surely return because of ALL dining staff - Mr Bhaskaran was superbly attentive, concierge Mr Caleb and Balaji and the very first face I encountered at front desk, Mr Salam. I commend them all for excellent service. Makes the stay memorable.

While the Taj Connemara exudes grace charm as a uniquely traditional and up-market colonial-style hotel in Egmore, Madras (Chennai), we were particularly impressed by the consistently high level of customer service by all staff we encountered. Among them, all the breakfast team - including the Supervisor (whose name slips us), Shaji and all others who served us over 3 mornings. We would also like to mention Puja and Monika who greeted us on arrival, and all in the Concierge team (whose names we are remiss in not taking down).
