Trident, Chennai
A garden retreat five minutes from the airport
About this hotel
Trident, Chennai runs a garden setting alongside an outdoor pool and two restaurants, two minutes' walk from Palavanthangal and just five minutes by taxi or public transport from Chennai International Airport. Cinnamon, two minutes away, gives guests a dining option beyond the hotel's own restaurants for an evening out. Being this close to the airport makes Trident a practical choice for a late-arrival, early-departure trip, while the garden and pool still give guests a proper wind-down space rather than a purely transactional overnight stop. Free breakfast and full-service laundry round out a stay that balances airport convenience with genuine five-star comfort, and the spa and fitness center give a longer stay here just as much to do as a coastal or OMR property further away.

- Near the airport
- Free breakfast
Our take
Trident suits travelers prioritizing a fast airport transfer without giving up a garden, pool and spa. It's the practical five-star pick for a short turnaround trip. Guests planning a longer stay centered on sightseeing in the old city or a rooftop bar scene should look toward properties nearer Marina Beach or Nungambakkam instead.
- ✓Use the five-minute airport transfer to fit in a full garden-and-pool evening even on a short layover.
- ✓Try Cinnamon, two minutes' walk away, for dinner beyond the hotel's own two restaurants.
- ✓Book a spa slot early in your stay if you're only here for a night or two before an early flight.

Why guests love itWe had an early flight and this hotel made the whole trip easier, five minutes to the terminal without giving up a proper garden and pool for the evening before. Cinnamon, two minutes away, covered dinner without needing a longer taxi ride anywhere else. Free breakfast the next morning meant we didn't have to rely on airport food before boarding.
