The Raintree Hotel, St.Mary's

I discovered south indian coffee here, and after three weeks, it ended up being up there with the better ones. The breakfast was lovely, though I ate more vada than I should have :) Staff very attentive in the restaurant and very helpful elsewhere. The room was of a high standard and well-appointed and a nice view. We had tiffin and a beer at the roof-top area - very relaxing and a great view.

A family of four on a four week trip through the beautiful South of India, we stayed at The Raintree (St. Marys Road) in Chennai for the last days of our voyage. It proved to be an excellent choice: very friendly staff from check-in to check-out and beyond (more below), beautiful and comfortable rooms, great restaurant on the rooftop serving late dinners with magnificent views over Chennai, best breakfast with Indian, European and other choices. Location made it easy to walk to many places to do our last minute shopping. Unpacking at home thousands of km away, I discovered that I had forgotten my beautiful Indian dress in the closet. I called the hotel right away and the wonderful staff - the gentleman at the Lost-and-found office, the Head of the House Keeping department as well as the friendly people at the front desk - made it possible that I received a courier parcel with my goods a few days later. How professional and how kind! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR KIND HELP! Well definitely stay at The Raintree when we travel to Chennai again.

I visited ASL, at raintree st Marys road with my friends. It was a chill Sunday evening on the rooftop restaurant with good company, food ,drinks and music. Our DJ, Anant played trendy tracks and set a good vibe. I would visit again.

We visited Above Sea Level, and it was an amazing experience. It had a relaxing ambience, with a mix of trending and upbeat tracks being played by DJ Anant. Overall, a commendable service was provided.

The hotels services, rooms and food is of excellent quality and the ambiance is beautiful. There is a good range of options for restaurants and food. The facilities work well and the communication about practical things works perfectly. Obviously there will be more hotels that provide all these facilities. But there is one big difference that makes this hotel more special as others of their kind. And that is their heart. The staff in the diverse departments is not only friendly but really putting an effort. Not only to service, but to contact the guests. In doing so they go beyond service attititude, it is a hearts attitude. Where jokes and personal stories and sharing is happening, just like you would do with friends. So even tough it is a big hotel it feels like a small family where you are very much welcomed to be part of this heartfelt ambiance. For example, we were invited to a free cocktail party on the rooftop where we ended up talking with guests and staff alike, about backgrounds, hobbies, marriage and what not. After sharing all that informally, their was a community feel, not only with the staff but also with other guests as they no longer where strangers to each other. This kind of communing you cannot put into a Value of money that you pay. for the experience that I had was of a hotel with a heart. Or better: a community in a hotel setting. Thank you
