The Raintree Anna Salai

The Raintree Anna Salai is an upscale hotel at 636 Anna Salai (Mount Road) in Teynampet, central Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. It stands near the Teynampet-Saidapet flyover on one of the city's main arteries, which places it within easy reach of Nungambakkam, Mylapore and Guindy and on a direct line to the city centre. Chennai International Airport is roughly 10 to 12 km away, and the Teynampet and nearby Chennai Metro stops give an alternative to road travel at peak times. The hotel is a contemporary mid-range to upscale property, popular with business and conference guests because of its banquet and meeting spaces and its position on a main road. Rooms are offered as Superior and Deluxe Rooms, Club Rooms and an Executive Suite, and the listed amenities include a pool, a spa, a fitness center, a restaurant and a bar, along with a concierge, a business center and airport transfers. Dining typically offers Indian, South Indian and international dishes, with a buffet breakfast. The pool and spa give leisure guests options after a day of meetings, and the concierge can arrange local tours and transport. Service is business-oriented but suits families visiting relatives in the city. Rates generally range from around INR 6,000 to INR 11,000 per night, which is lower than the five-star Taj and Leela properties, so it appeals to travellers who want upscale facilities at moderate cost. Anna Salai carries heavy traffic through the day, so visitors should schedule airport transfers and appointments with a time buffer, particularly on weekday mornings. Nearby areas such as Alwarpet, Nungambakkam and Mylapore offer restaurants, temples and shopping within a short drive. Teynampet also has banks, hospitals and offices close by, which adds to the practical appeal for visitors on extended business stays or those travelling with family members who need services nearby.
