Novotel Chennai Chamiers Road
Two restaurants and a pool on Chamiers Road
About this hotel
Novotel Chennai Chamiers Road runs two restaurants alongside an outdoor pool, two minutes' walk from Chamiers Road itself, a well-known commercial and residential stretch. Mezze, nine minutes' walk from the hotel, gives guests a breakfast or dinner option beyond the property's own dining rooms. The pool here works as a straightforward five-star amenity rather than a standout rooftop feature, backed by a full fitness center and business center for guests mixing meetings with downtime. At roughly 24 minutes by taxi from Chennai International Airport, the hotel sits closer to the airport than several of the city's other five-star properties, useful for a shorter turnaround trip, and the smoke-free, pet-friendly rooms suit a wider range of travelers than a purely business-focused property would.

Our take
Novotel Chamiers Road suits business travelers wanting a straightforward, well-located five-star stay with a shorter airport transfer than most. Its two restaurants and pool cover most evening needs on-property without much extra planning. Guests chasing a standout rooftop bar or nightclub scene should look elsewhere, since this hotel keeps its amenities practical rather than a nightlife draw.
- ✓Use the 24-minute airport transfer to plan a shorter turnaround trip than at some of the city's other five-star hotels.
- ✓Try Mezze, a nine-minute walk away, for a change of scene from the hotel's own two restaurants.
- ✓Book the pool for late morning or late afternoon, when Chamiers Road traffic outside is at its quietest.

Why guests love itWe picked this for the shorter airport run and it delivered, 24 minutes door to door on our last morning. The pool was a good size for laps most afternoons without much of a crowd. Mezze, a nine-minute walk away, became our regular dinner spot after trying both hotel restaurants earlier in the stay, and the gym filled the gap on the one morning we skipped the pool.
