Park Hyatt Chennai

A lily pond courtyard sits at the center of this luxury hotel, with the greenery of Guindy National Park just beyond the perimeter, which is a rare thing to say about a place fifteen minutes from the airport. George Wong designed it around the idea of a weavers' house, and the 200 rooms carry that out in marble floors and generous proportions. Three restaurants, a spa, and a rooftop infinity pool round out a property that makes leaving it feel optional.
