Le Royal Méridien Chennai
A nightclub and pool by Kathipara Urban Square
About this hotel
Le Royal Méridien Chennai runs an outdoor pool and three restaurants alongside a hip nightclub, four minutes' walk from Kathipara Urban Square, one of the city's main flyover interchanges. Hotel Vasantham, three minutes away, offers a nearby dining option beyond the property's own restaurants. At roughly ten minutes by taxi from Chennai International Airport, this is one of the closest five-star hotels to the terminal, useful for a short business trip or a late arrival. The nightclub gives evenings here a livelier edge than the more restrained pool decks at nearby properties, while the pool itself suits a calmer afternoon before the later hours pick up around the bar and dance floor.

Our take
Le Royal Méridien suits travelers who want a fast airport transfer alongside a nightclub and pool for an evening out. It works well for a short trip that still includes a proper night out. Guests wanting a quieter, more restrained five-star evening should consider Trident or Taj Coromandel instead, since this property leans into nightlife after dark.
- ✓Use the ten-minute airport transfer to fit in a full pool-and-dinner evening even on a short overnight stay.
- ✓Book a nightclub table ahead on weekends, since Le Royal Méridien draws a steady crowd from across the city.
- ✓Try Hotel Vasantham, three minutes' walk away, for a dinner option outside the hotel's three restaurants.

Why guests love itWe only had one night in Chennai and this hotel made the most of it, ten minutes from the airport with a nightclub that kept us out later than planned. The pool that afternoon was quiet enough for a proper swim before dinner. Hotel Vasantham, three minutes away, covered a meal when we didn't feel like a hotel restaurant, and checkout the next morning was quick enough not to risk our flight.
