About Rajendra 2
The Space
Rajendra 2 is one of the dedicated event halls within ITC Grand Chola's expansive meetings and banqueting precinct, designed to reflect the grandeur of Chola-era architecture that defines the entire hotel. The space carries the refined aesthetic sensibility that ITC Grand Chola is celebrated for — warm, stately interiors with carefully considered décor that balances classical South Indian design motifs with contemporary functionality. As part of one of India's largest convention hotels, Rajendra 2 benefits from a seamlessly integrated infrastructure that supports events of varying scales and formats.
The hall is well-suited for a wide range of corporate and social occasions. Whether configured for a focused board-level meeting, a mid-size conference session, a product launch, or a pre-function gathering that complements a larger event running in an adjacent hall, Rajendra 2 offers the flexibility that planners value. Its positioning within the broader Rajendra suite of spaces also means it can be used independently or opened up to work in conjunction with neighbouring halls, making it a practical choice when requirements shift closer to the event date.
Events & Occasions
ITC Grand Chola has long been a preferred destination for corporate India, and Rajendra 2 sits squarely within that tradition. The hotel's meetings and events facilities are among the most comprehensive in Chennai, and Rajendra 2 inherits the full suite of in-house support services — from event planning and audio-visual technology to catering from ITC's acclaimed culinary team. The kitchen at ITC Grand Chola draws on a rich repertoire of Indian and international cuisines, ensuring that catering for any event held in this hall is executed to the same standard as the hotel's celebrated restaurants.
The hall is equally appropriate for social functions — intimate celebrations, milestone events, or private dinners — where the hotel's signature service culture adds a layer of warmth and polish that is difficult to replicate in a standalone banquet facility. Every event in this space is supported by a dedicated events team familiar with the logistical demands of both corporate and personal occasions.
Location & Accessibility
ITC Grand Chola is located in Little Mount, in the southern part of Chennai, and sits in close proximity to key business districts including Guindy and the IT corridor along the Old Mahabalipuram Road. Chennai International Airport is a short drive away, making the hotel — and by extension Rajendra 2 — a genuinely convenient choice for delegates and guests travelling from outside the city. The hotel is also well connected to central Chennai, and its scale means on-site parking is available for attendees arriving by road. For outstation guests, the property offers a substantial number of guest rooms and suites, removing the logistical complexity of coordinating off-site accommodation for multi-day events.
