Radisson Blu Hotel Chennai

Radisson Blu Hotel Chennai is a five-star hotel located on GST Road in Meenambakkam, Chennai, India. The property was built in March 1999 by Macnur Hospitality Limited, whose equity was reported to be 75 percent held by the M. A. Chidambaram group. Its development cost was reported as ₹340 million at the time of construction. In 2001, the hotel was renamed Radisson GRT after it was acquired by the Chennai-based GR Thanga Maaligai group. The property is associated with the Radisson Blu hotel brand and serves the Chennai hospitality market, particularly guests seeking upscale accommodation in the vicinity of the city’s airport and the GST Road corridor. The available reference material identifies the hotel as having 101 rooms, comprising seven suites, 19 business-class rooms, 24 club rooms, and 51 deluxe rooms. The hotel also provides meeting and event facilities and food-and-beverage services, although detailed information about its restaurants, meeting capacity, amenities, management, and current ownership is not established in the supplied sources. A proposed expansion would have added 30 rooms through construction on adjacent land, but the available material does not confirm whether that project was completed. Because the reference article contains limited historical and operational information, current branding, ownership, leadership, facilities, and operating status require further verification.

The hotel was developed by Macnur Hospitality Limited and built in March 1999 at a reported cost of ₹340 million. At the time, 75 percent of Macnur Hospitality Limited’s equity was held by the M. A. Chidambaram group. The property was established on GST Road in Meenambakkam, an important corridor in Chennai connected with the city’s airport and southern metropolitan area. In 2001, the hotel changed its name to Radisson GRT after its acquisition by the Chennai-based GR Thanga Maaligai group. The available reference material does not document the precise date on which the Radisson Blu name was adopted, nor does it provide a full account of later ownership, management, or franchise arrangements. The hotel is described as a five-star property and is recorded as having 101 rooms: seven suites, 19 business-class rooms, 24 club rooms, and 51 deluxe rooms. A plan was reported to add a further 30 rooms by building on adjacent land, but the supplied material does not state whether the expansion proceeded. Information about subsequent renovations, brand changes, operating performance, management personnel, and current facilities is not available in the reference material. The documented history therefore establishes the property’s 1999 construction, its 2001 renaming following acquisition by GR Thanga Maaligai, its room composition, and a proposed expansion, while leaving its present ownership and detailed operational history unresolved.
