Chennai's five-star hotel landscape spans 37 properties across the city, making it one of South India's most well-served luxury event destinations. The stock stretches from heritage addresses in the city's historic core — Egmore and Anna Salai — to contemporary full-service properties along the IT corridors of Sholinganallur, Siruseri, and Perungudi. Whether the occasion demands a grand ballroom or a refined boardroom, Chennai's five-star hotels offer the full range.
A Diverse Roster of Landmark Properties
The 37 venues on Spalba include names that are synonymous with prestige in Chennai. Taj Coromandel, Chennai and Taj Connemara, Chennai represent the city's iconic heritage tier, both well-established in Nungambakkam and Anna Salai respectively. At the contemporary end, Trident Chennai and Le Royal Meridien Chennai bring full-service event infrastructure to the heart of the city. Radisson Blu Hotel Chennai City Centre, Novotel Chennai Sipcot, Feathers, A Radha Hotel, and Vivanta Chennai, IT Expressway further extend the options across the southern and IT belt corridors. Venue spaces within these properties include dedicated named halls — such as The Chettinad and Alaap — alongside multiple tiered meeting rooms.
Matching Capacity to Your Event
Chennai's five-star hotel inventory covers an unusually wide capacity band: spaces begin as intimate as 6 seats and scale up to 2,000 guests at the largest end. The typical event space sits in the 20–200 range, which reflects the significant concentration of boardrooms, mid-size conference halls, and banqueting rooms suitable for corporate off-sites, product launches, and private celebrations. Of the 144 individual spaces catalogued, 136 fall under the 200-guest mark — making this category particularly strong for executive meetings, closed-door conferences, and smaller galas. Eight spaces cross the 600-guest threshold for large-format events such as award ceremonies and annual conclaves.

Venues span 26 distinct localities across the city. Central and south-central Chennai — Nungambakkam, Anna Salai, Egmore, Teynampet, Alwarpet, T. Nagar, and Nandanam — concentrate the established city-centre properties, convenient for guests arriving at Chennai Central or travelling from the CBD. The OMR and Old Mahabalipuram Road belt, covering Sholinganallur, Thoraipakkam, Perungudi, Tharamani, and Siruseri, serves the IT and business park community with contemporary full-service hotels.
