“My first stay at Chennai, India”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2012

I am a business man and needed to visit Chennai for a week. I was referred to the Raintree Hotel, by the owner of a manufacturing company I was visiting - I want to pass on a message to other travelers - the Riantree Hotel in Chennai was a remarkable stay for me. The service is a 10 as is the food - oh, the food - delicous and such a variety, you just can't imagine. The room accommodations are perfect - plenty of space, very clean through out, always made up when y ou like, and any request you might need, the staff is only too happy to accommate you. I will become a loyal customer of the hotel with my future visits to Chennai.

Room Tip: I stayed on the 3rd floor - no noise - lovely views - any floor will be just fine.

“a second home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

marvellous experience. I've been there for a while, due to business reason...and it simply feels like home. Very nice accomodations, from the basic room, to the suites. everything extremly cured. gentle staff, very good choice of food (don't miss the oustanding restaurant on the room, worth a visit even if you are not staying in raintree). There are two more restaurants, a buffet one, and the very nice mongolian one in the basement. for party people, the hotel offers also the nice havana club, latin american is a must there! Rooms very well equipped, LCD tv, kettle, office corner.
Well, a must if you are in Chennai, won't be disappointed....and for sure won't desire to leave it!

“Great Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

This is a lovely hotel - great rooms, great food, wonderful service (same goes to the anna salai branch where we also spent one night). I am surprised that the Raintree is not ranked first on the trip advisor list (we stayed also in the Radison Blu hotel, which was fine, but both Rainbtree hoteles are much nicer), this is one of the bet hotels I ever stayed in,

“A GREAT EXPERIENCE IN FOOD AND HOSPITALITY”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

We had come for the leather fair with 04 of my friends and stayed here for 5 days
The food was great in all the restaurants but the pick of the lot was the roof top restaurant
The breakfast spread was vast and had lot of choices.
Had a great experience when i stepped out of the lift on the roof top ,i was shocked to see the seafood festival that was going on and above all the varieties displayed there,the chef promptly greated us all and said that he was the chef there ( vinod kumar-head chef )and he was going to help us select the seafood
we all started from one end and chef vinod was explaining about the varieties displayed,i was truly amazed with the knowledge and experience he shared about the 50 odd varieties that were displayed , for one moment it was like we were watching the geographical channel i must say you have the right person as a head chef
He suggested us the starters and main-course and we all had truly the best meal of our life
He came to our table and checked if we were enjpying the meal we were honored that the chef was at our table and he made us feel very special like kings there
we all had a look at the on-site grille and cooking
overall it was a great experience
The service was also equally good,and i must bring this point to the management that you have the right people at the right places and i am sure the group will go to be one of the leading brands in india

we will be back next year and our expectations would be much more higher for the FISH BAZAAR ,i am sure our friend chef vinod kumar would again spin his magic around us

Room Tip: Ask for the chef (vinod ) for any meal recommendations
