Amazing to look at / take photos but noisy

Extraordinary building, if not too overwhelming as a hotel. Great spa. Unfortunately it's right under flights taking off from nearby Chennai airport so at the poolside it's constant flight noise and could hear airplanes from inside room all through the night. Really comfortable bed, great linen. Great breakfast, but also noisy in restaurant with very irritating piped music. Also too noisy with music in lounge. Try turning down the noise in hotel you can reduce please, if you can't stop airplanes (but maybe need to update window insulation)! Bathroom fittings a bit old / sharp. Kitchen / living area in apt. very dated and quite scruffed. Very few furnishings / ware.

Impressive hotel and staff

We spent 12 days at the hotel. The 1 bedroom apartment was impeccable, and very comfortable. The staff are very helpful, efficient and accommodating . Check in and check out was easy. There are several options for dining at the hotel. The dishes at the buffets and a la carte dining are well curated and substantial. The fine dining restaurants are all exceptional. The in-house spa is luxurious, the staff and treatments are professional.The pool and surrounding gardens are beautiful. The hotel takes security very seriously, and we felt safe at all times. We will definitely stay there again.

For a hotel of this class I expect impeccable maintenance around mosquitoes. I had to get a room change in the middle of the night due to mosquito menace. The management seemed oblivious. I found mosquitoes even in the lobby. Given the dangers of mosquitoes in India people choose establishments like this to get a safer environment. This was outright disappointing. I would likely avoid this establishment in future visits. This is sullying the ITC Grand Brand. Hope someone would take notice

Not what it claims to be! A luxury 5 star hotel!

We were assigned a room that had a strong musty stale odor; then reassigned. Room was not ready so had to wait for another hour close to 5 pm when check-in was 3:00 pm. Staff was poorly trained; carpet in corridors were stained and in poor condition. Glass lamps on bedside tables had gathered so much dust and office table was sticky. Our room TV did not work till a tech came in and said internet connection was absent. Breakfast for successive days was a nightmare…. It was clear they were inadequately prepared to cope with the number of occupants. When we asked for black coffee, a couple of servers said they did not have it-seriously? Five star luxury hotel? Overhaul the management!! Finally, on our day of checkout, we requested a 1:00 pm checkout ( instead of noon) and that was confirmed…guess what? They deactivated our room key cards at half past noon! Fortunately a cleaning staff in the corridor let us in. The onsite management needs to go for a refresher course on luxury hotel management. Will never stay at this place again.

Great bed but noisy: under flight path

Amazing hotel for taking photos and bed super comfortable but it’s too noisy. Could hear flights at 3am, 4am, 5am etc, even with ear plugs. It’s right under flight path for take off of planes from nearby airport. Even at poolside a plane passes over very close every 15 mins. Not relaxing. Even with headphones. It’s a pity as pool area nice, spa is amazing, bed and breakfast great. A little run down in places. Staff very friendly mostly. Not advised if you don’t like noise disturbance. Also the background music inside, in lobby, lounge, restaurants, even elevators is too loud. I wonder if this is to cover for noise of airplanes.
