Hotels nahe Mahishamardini Mandapa (Chennai)

"Breakfast is phenomenal, French, Indian, Scandinavian. Some entertainment was available, with Indian dancers and acrobats on the Indian New Year. Swimming pools are in excellent shape and the garden and beach are well maintained. The golf course, though, does not really exist, with no greens. We played three holes back and forth. Billard could only be played against a fee which is quite unheard of. However, uniquely for the hotels we visited there was High Tea in the afternoon on offer - very British. We also found a tree planted by King Charles. Easy exploration of the Unesco Cultural Heritage sites by foot. Especially the ones downtown are very impressive."
