The Indian Hotels Company Ltd (IHCL), India’s largest hospitality group, has announced the signing of a new Taj hotel on East Coast Road (ECR) in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The upcoming greenfield development marks a key addition to IHCL’s growing portfolio in southern India.
Suma Venkatesh, Executive Vice President – Real Estate & Development, IHCL, said, “Chennai’s hospitality landscape is defined by a strong corporate base anchored by the automobile sector and a thriving IT ecosystem. Alongside its cultural depth, leisure tourism, and expanding MICE segment, the city offers immense growth potential. The signing of this new Taj hotel on ECR is a strategic step to tap into this multi-dimensional demand. We are delighted to partner with MGM Healthcare for this project.”
Spread across 13 acres of pristine beachfront, the 151-key Taj ECR Chennai will offer panoramic views of the Bay of Bengal. The resort will feature an all-day dining restaurant, two speciality restaurants, and a bar. Guests can unwind at Taj’s signature J Wellness Circle, complemented by a gym, swimming pool, and recreation facilities.
Designed to cater to both leisure and business travellers, the property will also serve as a premier venue for large-scale events, with two spacious banquet halls of 10,000 sq ft and 5,300 sq ft, several meeting rooms, and expansive beachfront lawns.
M.K. Rajagopalan of MGM Healthcare said, “We are excited to collaborate with IHCL. This development will offer guests a world-class experience in Chennai.”
With its rich cultural heritage, classical art, and iconic landmarks such as Mahabalipuram, Marina Beach, and Fort St. George, Chennai continues to attract domestic and international travellers alike.
