The Westin Chennai Velachery
Three restaurants and a pool in Velachery
About this hotel
The Westin Chennai Velachery runs an outdoor pool and spa alongside three restaurants, two minutes' walk from Velachery Main Road and Guru Nanak College. The Mayflower, four minutes away, gives guests a nearby dining option beyond the hotel's own restaurants. Velachery sits inland from both the coast and the OMR corridor, closer to Guindy and the city's newer residential growth, giving this five-star property a different neighborhood feel from the Government Museum or Santhome pockets. At roughly 19 minutes by taxi from Chennai International Airport, the hotel keeps a reasonably short transfer alongside its fuller set of dining and spa amenities for a longer family or business stay than a shorter overnight visit.

Our take
The Westin Velachery suits business travelers and families wanting a full-service five-star stay with a manageable airport transfer. Its three restaurants and pool cover most evening needs on-property. Guests chasing a rooftop bar or nightclub scene should look toward Hilton Chennai or Park Elanza instead, since this property keeps a calmer, more traditional pace.
- ✓Book a table at one of the three restaurants ahead during busier weekend evenings in Velachery.
- ✓Try The Mayflower, four minutes' walk away, for a change of scene from the hotel's own dining rooms.
- ✓Use the 19-minute airport transfer to plan either a short business trip or a longer family stay comfortably.

Why guests love itWe picked this for a family trip and the pool kept the kids busy most afternoons while we worked through the three different restaurants over a few nights of the stay. The Mayflower, four minutes away, gave us a change of pace one evening. The 19-minute airport transfer on departure day was easy enough not to add any stress to the trip home.
