Marriott International today announced the opening of Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort and Spa in Chennai. It was a grand opening as the gorgeous resort property will join the brand's premier tier of exceptional Sheraton hotels globally, recognized for their breathtaking destinations, distinguished designs and excellence in service and a beautiful experience. The resort has a beautiful location too as it is on the East Coast Road of Tamil Nadu, overlooking the pristine Bay of Bengal, the property is spread over ten acres of land, that includes beautiful, landscaped gardens that open on to miles of virgin beach sands and an endless ocean.Getting its inspiration from the four sinful S - Sun, Sand, Sea and Southern India, the architecture and design in the resort eloquently represents the beautiful waves, shimmering sands and vast greenery. Rich wood accents, soothing colour palettes, intricate tapestry and the inclusion of copper displayed throughout the property, subtly depict local elements that capture the charm of the city.
With expansive views of the sea dominating this smorgasbord of colour and textures, the element of the Sun is brought about in a subtle way, with natural, diffused lights & sun lit corridors. Prominent elements of Sand can be found in the rooms and restaurants in the form of cement lamp stands and traditional, stone installations. The flair of the popular South Indian lifestyle can be seen through the rich artwork, copper artifacts and the intricate upholstery of beautiful, net weaved chairs.The show stopper is a stunning copper installation of water buffaloes in the lobby, which are symbolic to the city of Chennai. The lobby itself is designed to replicate the famous South Indian Catamaran, which is very symbolic to the city and the lives of the natives.
