Four Points by Sheraton Chennai OMR

Four Points by Sheraton Chennai OMR is a hotel at 169 Rajiv Gandhi Salai (Old Mahabalipuram Road) in Panaiyur, on the southern stretch of Chennai's OMR in Tamil Nadu, India. It shares a site with Fairfield by Marriott, and the pair serve the IT parks and residential developments of Panaiyur, Sholinganallur and Navalur. The airport is roughly an hour away by road, and the location is nearer to the East Coast Road beaches than central Chennai. The Four Points brand offers a relaxed, contemporary style with a focus on simple comforts, and the property presents a modern, corporate feel. Published rates of roughly INR 6,500-11,000 per night apply to Superior and Deluxe rooms, Club Rooms and Executive Suites. The amenity list includes a pool, spa, restaurants, bar, wifi, a fitness centre and a business centre. Dining usually combines an all-day restaurant with a buffet breakfast and an evening bar for after-work drinks. Service is business-oriented with a concierge and airport transfers, and Marriott Bonvoy members can use their benefits. Leisure visitors can drive to Muttukadu, Mahabalipuram and the Dakshinachitra heritage museum, which are all closer than from central Chennai. Visitors should note that OMR traffic is heavy at office hours, so travel plans should avoid those windows. The hotel is a good fit for guests who want a Sheraton-brand standard on the southern OMR with a pool and spa, and who plan to spend time on the East Coast Road or in the nearby IT parks. Panaiyur lies close to the junction where the OMR meets the East Coast Road link, so guests can reach the coast within minutes outside peak traffic. Local restaurants, seafood shacks and farmstays along the ECR offer a change from hotel dining, and weekends bring many Chennai families to this stretch for short breaks. Rates change with corporate demand, so checking the Marriott website before booking is sensible.
