The Kings Park Grand
A budget bar-and-restaurant stay near Semmozhi Poonga
About this hotel
The Kings Park Grand pairs a bar and restaurant with free breakfast, eight minutes' walk from Semmozhi Poonga botanical garden and a minute from Palm Grove. Junior Kuppanna, five minutes away in Nungambakkam, gives guests a well-known local dining option beyond the hotel's own restaurant. As a budget property, The Kings Park Grand skips a pool or rooftop terrace, keeping its outdoor offering limited compared with the five-star hotels nearby, but its bar and restaurant cover a reasonable evening on-property. At roughly 33 minutes by taxi or public transport from Chennai International Airport, the hotel sits within Chennai's Nungambakkam district rather than the coast or OMR corridor. Guests planning a trip around this part of the city should factor that into the rest of their schedule.

Our take
The Kings Park Grand suits budget travelers wanting a bar and restaurant on-site near Semmozhi Poonga without a five-star price tag. Junior Kuppanna nearby is a genuine local dining perk. Guests wanting a rooftop pool, terrace or garden should look toward Park Elanza or Grand Cascade Hotels instead, since this hotel keeps its amenities indoor-focused.
- ✓Try Junior Kuppanna, five minutes' walk away, for a well-regarded local meal beyond the hotel's own restaurant.
- ✓Walk to Semmozhi Poonga, eight minutes away, in the late afternoon before the hotel bar picks up in the evening.
- ✓Book this property mainly for its Nungambakkam location rather than expecting a pool or rooftop terrace.

Why guests love itWe tried Junior Kuppanna on a recommendation from the front desk and it turned out to be the highlight of a fairly simple stay, five minutes' walk away and worth the trip. Semmozhi Poonga made for a nice quiet morning walk before the day's heat built up. The hotel bar downstairs was a decent enough spot for a low-key evening drink. It's a fair trade-off for the price point, worth knowing going in.
