The first hotel of its kind, ITC Grand Chola is rooted to the soil, and takes inspiration from the Chola dynasty. Stretching across eight acres, a luxurious tribute to the splendor of Chola architecture, the hotel defines the destination with its uniquely carved and textured exteriors that reflect the influence of Chola temple architecture and particularly its finest examples: the Brihadeeswara, the Gangaikondacholapuram and the Airavateswara temples. 

Indescribably grand and conceived to recreate the awe-inspiring interiors of the palatial Chola temples and royal durbars, the beauty of the lobby – Sangam is enhanced by the flamboyant sweep of the intricately carved balustrade, the engraved steps to the ornate landing, the friezes and the symmetrically arranged pillars finished in elegant white stucco, reminiscent of the temples of South India. The wheel design on the Grand Staircase symbolizes the Wheel of Life and is the most photographed venue in the city! The ceiling is dressed in a spectacular expanse of shimmering crystal chandeliers in the shape of domes interspersed with deeply carved motifs of flowers, to enhance the feeling of being in a timeless space.

The Hotel welcomes guests in 522 rooms and 78 serviced apartments, each of which is a triumph of design aesthetics. The Hotel offers one of the largest conferences, banqueting and exhibition spaces in the country.
