About Rajendra 8
The Space
Rajendra 8 is one of ITC Grand Chola's dedicated meeting and event rooms, positioned within one of India's most celebrated luxury hotels in Chennai. The room takes its name from the grand Chola dynasty heritage that infuses the entire property's architecture and design language — a tribute to the imperial legacy of the Chola empire that once shaped South India. This ethos carries through into the space itself: refined interiors, meticulous finishing, and an atmosphere that balances the gravitas of a heritage-inspired setting with the functional demands of a modern event environment.
The room is part of ITC Grand Chola's extensive convention and meetings portfolio, which spans a range of hall sizes to accommodate everything from intimate boardroom sessions to large-scale conferences. Rajendra 8 is suited for smaller-format gatherings — breakout sessions, executive meetings, training workshops, leadership conclaves, and private discussions — where focused attention and professional surroundings matter as much as comfort. Its setup can be tailored to the nature of the event, whether a classroom arrangement for training, a boardroom layout for high-level discussions, or a theatre configuration for presentations.
Events & Occasions
Rajendra 8 is designed to serve the professional event calendar in its entirety. Corporate clients planning multi-day conferences at ITC Grand Chola frequently use rooms like Rajendra 8 as breakout spaces alongside the hotel's larger convention halls, allowing parallel sessions and syndicate discussions to run seamlessly. The room is equally well suited for standalone executive meetings, product briefings, press interactions, and interviews. Social events such as private celebrations, engagement functions, or small family gatherings can also be accommodated, benefiting from the hotel's full-service hospitality and in-house catering expertise.
ITC Grand Chola's banqueting and events team is known for its meticulous approach to event production — from tailor-made menus developed by the hotel's culinary brigade to audiovisual setups aligned with presentation requirements. Delegates and guests benefit from the hotel's broader ecosystem: award-winning restaurants, luxury accommodation, a spa, and a pool, all of which elevate the overall experience of attending an event at this address.
Location & Accessibility
ITC Grand Chola is located in Little Mount, Chennai, a well-connected node in the southern part of the city. The property sits close to major arterial roads, making it accessible from Chennai's Central Business District, the IT corridor along Old Mahabalipuram Road, and Chennai International Airport. The airport's proximity is a practical advantage for outstation guests and international delegates attending events at Rajendra 8, reducing transit time and adding convenience to multi-day programmes.
The hotel's position in Little Mount also places it near key landmarks and commercial districts of south Chennai, making it a natural choice for city-wide conferences where attendees are spread across the metropolitan area. Valet parking and secure parking facilities at ITC Grand Chola further ease access for guests arriving by road.
