Taj Connemara

There’s something to be said for stuffing your face and then heading back to a room which is the last word in elegance. A good way to even up the gluttony that is likely to occupy many a waking moment in Chennai, where awaits some of the best South Indian food, from the vegetarian delights of dosa, idli, vadai, pongal, uthappam, thalis washed down with filter coffee to the non-vegetarian Chettinad delicacies. Mustvisits include Murugan’s Idli shop, Saravana Bhavan, Annalakshmi and Karaikudi ponnuswany Mess. As for the Taj Connemara, its colonial past is ever-present; check into the deluxe or heritage suites for a room with a view on either garden, or pool. If you don’t feel like braving the streets for your food fix, head down to the Raintree, a restaurant known for its South Indian cuisine.
