The Trident is the perfect overnight bolthole when transiting through Chennai, India. It’s just five minutes (depending on the ridiculous Chennai traffic) from the airport and is a haven of tranquility.
As we’ve said before, the Trident chain comes with its highs and lows. Fortunately the former far outweigh the latter, which can be neatly summarised as a shortage of character. However, the hotel is flawlessly managed and the standards are exceptionally high. It is beautifully maintained and richly decorated with marble, giving a sense of class and quality.
The buffet breakfasts at the hotel are extensive and excellently presented. However, if your flight departs too early, the hotel can produce a snack pack on request.
The airport perimeter is literally a stone’s throw from the hotel. On a good run the terminal is five minutes away and in traffic can take up to 30 minutes.
