Our pick of the best Semencheri Hotel Deals
Sheraton Grand Chennai Resort & Spa
The property is good but not upto the standards of a 5 star stay. Probably as they were over booked. Also, the sea view rooms aren't as one would expect to experience a sea view, the distance from the sea is great & the price one pays for the view, is not worth it ... So, better to go for the normal ...
