The Park Chennai

Located on Anna Salai in the heart of the business district of Tamil Nadu's vibrant capital which stands on the historic premises of the erstwhile Gemini Film Studios. The Precincts that created larger than life heroes and heroines since the 1940's, mesmerizing millions with Technicolor dreams have now been transformed to house the theatre of life in its private and public spaces. The hotel creates a unique story of textures, surfaces, shadow and light inspired by film and performance in its various forms. The drama within is boldly stated by the urban landscape that creates the story of textures, surfaces, shadow and light. A flamboyant and deep curved wall shelters and protects you as you enter the hotel. A traditional welcome with giant lotuses is interpreted with modernity by artist Hemi Bawa. The dramatic entry leads to an atrium that is breath-taking in its simplicity. Pale cream limestone, aqua leather and chocolatey velvets create an oasis from the chaos of the city. A huge granite arc floats on glass to form the reception, becoming the nerve centre for all the backstage work in the hotel. The wall of light on the grand staircase is our modern homage to walls of traditional deepams that light temples and homes across India.
