Taj Connemara
A charmingly elegant window into the past
Steeped in history, Taj Coonemara has been serving guests for over 100 years.
Taj Coonemara is named after Lord Coonemara, the governor of Madras from 1886 and became the meeting place for royalty and dignitaries from all over the world. Carrera marbled floors, original lattice ceilings and a grand wooden staircase are just some of the features preserved for today’s visitor.
Delve into the history of the hotel on a heritage walk, where you will see sepia photos of the many royals and celebrities that have stayed before you. Other facilities include a swimming pool, fitness centre and the J Wellness Circle.
Why we love Taj Connemara
-
It doesn’t feel like you are in the heart of Chennai because of the spacious interiors and the greenery outside
-
Previous owners have left their influence - expect colonial, Art Deco and modern tropical Geoffrey Bawa's styles throughout
-
Opt for a colonial room for high ceilings, four-poster beds and balconies overlooking the pool
-
As part of the Taj group, the service is excellent and discreet
Facilities
Influenced by the spices discovered by the early sea traders, Chettinad cuisine, infused with cinnamon, cumin and star anise, is served at Raintree Restaurant whilst The Verandah offers international cuisine. Keep up tradition with an afternoon tea at The Lady Coonemara Bar and Lounge, also the venue for signature cocktails and night caps.
Head to the J Wellness Circle where treatments in the spa are based on Indian rituals. Natural products are used including spices, clays and flower essences. Yoga and meditation will be part of your wellness journey and there is a fitness centre and pool.
From your base, you can explore Chennai's attractions including the Kapaleeshwara Temple, the Coonemara Library and the Click Art Museum. You can learn more about the hotel's part with an historical tour.
