I stayed with my family for 3 days at Taj Connemara. It was one of our most memorable stays till date in a true global context. Food and dining was truly commendable with a fantastic buffet spread which is serviced by a very courteous and professional team. Special thanks for all the hot South Indian delicacies from the live station. It is a heritage hotel with separate wings based on Indian, Colonial and Oriental themes which is very well curated. Overall it was an amazing stay and kudos to the Taj team. Wah Taj.!!

This is my 3rd time I stayed in this hotel with my family and my experience was amazing. We were treated like we belong to a royal family. For every entry and exit from the hotel, a porter will always be there to open the door for you. I stayed for 5 days and either Saravanan or Saravanan B opened the door for me and helped me loading and unloading the luggage from the taxi. We were greeted by their front desk as if we belong to a royal family. Rosa welcomed us by making us wear a spiritual garland and served a honey-lemon drink, was delicious. We were escorted to our room and our luggage was already sent in our room. They have a restaurant on the ground floor named Veranda. We had both breakfast and dinner in Veranda. Food was delicious and there were quite a few options from Indian traditional food to Western. A Prabhakaran is the magic chef and I admire his modesty and hospitality. They offer buffet in breakfast and if you had the breakfast you won't even need lunch. I am short in words for the hospitality I received from customer relationship managers S Lokanath, Rishab, and Anjali. They were with us until we were done with our breakfast or dinner asking us if we need anything. Since my family was unable to make it in-person, S Lokanath and Rishab arranged in-room dinning and sent the food as per my wife and kids liking. If I ever again visit Chennai, I will definitely stay in this hotel.

We had a lovely stay at Taj Connemara in one of the heritage rooms. The staff here are excellent, they were very attentive to our needs and provided a wonderful service. The property itself was extremely clean. We were there with our six month old baby and the hotel provided steamed vegetable purées at our request free of charge every day of the stay. We had lunch at the restaurant once and ordered from the in-room dining a few times and the food was always delicious. There were a lot of mosquitoes in the lobby area and the room, which was disappointing at a five star hotel. The bathrooms in the room could also do with an upgrade. The second door in the shower wasn’t there which meant the bathroom was wet after a shower. Having stayed in a few other five star hotels in India, I thought this property lacked the wow factor but a great team of staff from concierge to reception to food and beverage and laundry teams make you look past it. Thanks to Vijay and his team on the second floor for keeping our rooms clean.
