“Buffet lunch at My Fortune”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Chola Sheraton is renamed as My Fortune .Still under ITC but would have helped if they continued to mention the old name for some tiem until the guests get to to know of the name change .

Attended a business lunch and the buffet spread was impressive .Food served tasted fresh and included a good variety of vegetarian and Non vegetarian dishes .Dessert spread was excellent and the items seerved were very tasty .

Room Tip: the hotel is centrally located in Chennai and easy accessability to commercial and shopping malls .

“Average hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I was scheduled to stay at this hotel for 2 weeks, but cut my stay short when my co-workers found themselves dissatisfied with the hotel. I wasn't impressed by the Chola, but didn't hate it like some others have. The rooms are large and the service is excellent, but the hallways have a stench to them and I didn't see how the hotel lives up to it's billing as a 5-7 star location. The workout facilities were in the (smelly) bowels of the building and the pool was small and out of use during my stay. I will say that I felt safe at the hotel and there are several restaurant options within, but the hotel just had a strange feel to it that I didn't love.

“Hotel Chola, a real Chola Kingdom!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

person found this review helpful

It is a famous luxury 7Star property in Chennai (Madras), Tamil Nadu, South India. It is situated in the heart of the Chennai City. they give all sorts of luxuries to the guests, who stays there and affordable to the VIPs. I used to advise my clients, whoever visits chennai to stay in this hotel during their business tours to Chennai. they are the persons who are not interested in the hotel food,so all business tours was an irritating matter when they think about the food before they used to stay in the Sheraton.One of my best friend who were the famous business tycoon in Chennai took me there for the first time.He said before I went to the hotel was that" IT IS A SUITABLE HOTEL FOR YOU".I am not believed in him,I thought that hotels are always a hotel.But when I came to the hotel&feel the services that they provided my opinion towards the hotel was reversed.Not only there service ,food,gym etc.were awesome.

Room Tip: "every room are good. they are as per vastu"

“Old wine in new bottle”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

people found this review helpful

The hotel is good in patches only. Had a great experience as old time hotel when stayed last time when it was still Chola Sheraton (only about 6 months ago). Gone are the grand reception area/ nice restaurant replaced by a very small... reception area and a so so coffee shop. Room service remains the same and hence the thali is still a good steal. Bar has happy hours but for select Customers... yes for them who pay them higher room rates!!

Overall a pretty sick hotel now till it comes fully in its new glory wherein also it will not come close to what it used to be. I am sure teh name change was more to vacate the name Chola for the new ITC CHOLA coming up but are we so lost in creativity that they had to come up with an in between brand of "my fortune".

“good hotel, but very overpriced”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

this hotel is very conveniently located in chennai... and is one of the oldest hotels around...
the rooms are very good, spacious, clean, wooden flooring, all amenities...service is also very nice, food tasty.. the restautant "peshawari" has the most awesome food (best dal makhani i have ever tasted) , however, as mentioned earlier, very overpriced...
only drawback is the room rent, which hovers around the 6k bracket... other hotels are available around in chennai, with more facalities, and sale rates..
would recommend it for a business stay if u are getting corporate discount, else go for the other similarly priced hotels around...
