Savera Hotel is a long-established luxury hotel located at 146 Dr Radhakrishnan Salai in the Mylapore neighbourhood of Chennai, Tamil Nadu. One of Chennai's most recognisable hotel addresses, Savera has operated as an independent landmark property for several decades and is closely associated with the cultural and commercial life of Mylapore — a neighbourhood renowned as one of the oldest living districts of Chennai, home to the Kapaleeshwarar Temple, Carnatic music kutcheris, and traditional silk saree trade. The hotel offers well-appointed rooms and suites across multiple categories, combining classic hotel comfort with contemporary amenities. Rooms are finished in a clean, understated style with attention to natural light; upper floors command views across the dense Mylapore roofscape toward the Bay of Bengal. The hotel's footprint on Dr Radhakrishnan Salai — one of Chennai's principal arterial roads — places it within walking distance of the Kapaleeshwarar Temple and the San Thome Basilica, two of the city's most visited heritage sites. Savera Hotel's dining outlets include several well-regarded restaurants, with the property particularly known for its South Indian breakfast, which consistently draws local residents as well as hotel guests. The rooftop restaurant offers panoramic views over the Mylapore neighbourhood, striking at dusk when the temple gopurams are visible against the evening sky. The bar is a popular venue for Chennai's professional community. A rooftop pool, spa, and fully equipped fitness centre complete the leisure amenities. The business centre and meeting rooms cater to a consistent MICE clientele. Mylapore's traditional market lanes, situated steps from the hotel, offer some of the best silk shopping and street food in Chennai. Chennai Central Railway Station is approximately 5 kilometres away; the international airport is 18 kilometres distant. Marina Beach, one of the world's longest urban beaches, is accessible in approximately 15 minutes by car.

  • Rooftop pool and restaurant with panoramic views over Mylapore's temple gopurams at dusk
  • South Indian breakfast recognised by Chennai residents and hotel guests as one of the best in the neighbourhood

Tips for visiting

  • The Kapaleeshwarar Temple is walkable (approx. 600 metres); the main gopuram entrance is best visited between 6 and 8 am before tourist crowds arrive
  • Savera's South Indian breakfast is available to non-resident diners — a worthwhile stop when exploring Mylapore
  • Dr Radhakrishnan Salai traffic peaks during morning (8–10 am) and evening (5–8 pm) rush hours; factor this into departure timing
  • Ask the concierge for a Mylapore neighbourhood walk itinerary — the 2-km loop through the temple tank lane, flower market, and local mess restaurants is one of Chennai's authentic experiences
  • The hotel is within walking distance of several sabhas (music halls) hosting Carnatic concerts during the December–January Chennai Music Season

Accessibility

Savera Hotel has level entrance access on Dr Radhakrishnan Salai with ramps at the main portico. Elevator access is available to all guest floors.
