Design at Taj Mount Road
The refined fusion of elegance, drama and subtlety crafted by Thom Catallo of Mackenzie Designphase Hospitality, creates a space combined with rich texture, and the play of light within the hotel designed to vary the mood from day to night to enhance the experience.
The styling is contemporary with marble and wood on floors and columns combined with stainless steel accents, and blue glass completes the varied combination of materials used which are distinctly different yet in perfect harmony.
The graciousness of the rooms is further accentuated with high-tech internet access, plasma TVs, unique custom lighting, spacious bathrooms and excellent storage creating a plush “lived in” environment for the business traveler. The living spaces in the suites area are a culmination of comfort and style, with Italian-inspired designer furniture, unique area rugs and distinctive bedrooms with concealed lighting on the headboards. The Deluxe suites at Taj Mount Road feature walk in closets and a spacious bar creating a feel of being in a stylish apartment rather than a hotel room.
Taj Mount Road combines the full suite of contemporary conferencing and banquet amenities, making it the perfect choice for power meets and social occasions. The main banquet hall, Summit is 3300 sq feet of elegantly appointed wall panels and stylish chandeliers. The business facilities at Taj Mount Road are geared for the discerning business traveler complementing ease of access with wireless connectivity and state-of-the-art board rooms.
The celebrated Taj F&B experience is adroitly enhanced with innovative dining options, covering a wide gamut of palettes and choices. Club House is the all-day dining restaurant that serves European fare with an Asian twist. Serving delectable cuisine from Punjab, Rawalpindi and Sindh, Beyond Indus also offers wines. Kefi offers Mediterranean cuisine amidst a rustic Greek country home ambience, or dine under the stars at its extended roof top lounge. Blend is the high energy contemporary bar serving exotic wines, spirits and liquors. Brew offers the quintessential English High tea apart from an array of international coffee and tea. The Deli serves a wide range of delicacies ranging from sandwiches to exotic chocolates.
A lap pool on the rooftop with a picturesque view of the city and a gym overlooking the pool with a yoga room – all engineered to invigorate and relax. A Jiva spa and salon will open shortly.
Rich in cutting-edge design and complete with aesthetic appeal, Taj Mount Road truly combines service, comfort and quiet efficiency making it Chennai’s primary address for the "well heeled" traveler.
