The Park in Chennai is an
urban haven, located on Anna Salai in the heart of the business district of
Tamil Nadu's vibrant capital. This elegant and lavish 215-room hotel stands
on the historic premises of the erstwhile Gemini Film Studios. The Precincts
that created larger than life heroes and heroines since the 1940's,
mersmerising millions with Technicolor dreams have now been transformed to
house the theatre of life in its private and public spaces. The hotel
creates a unique story of textures, surfaces, shadow and light inspired by
film and performance in its various forms.
The drama within is boldly stated by the urban landscape that creates the
story of textures, surfaces, shadow and light. A flamboyant and deep curved
wall shelters and protects you as you enter the hotel. A traditional welcome
with giant lotuses is interpreted with modernity by artist Hemi Bawa.
The dramatic entry leads to an atrium that is breath-taking in its
simplicity. Pale cream limestone, aqua leather and chocolatey velvets create
an oasis from the chaos of the city. The multi-layered lobby echoes theatre
and performance stages inviting one to take part in the drama or observe
from a quiet corner. At night the atrium lobby becomes an interactive space
with projected images, light and sound, echoing the past life of its
location.
A huge granite arc floats on glass to form the reception, becoming the nerve
centre for all the backstage work in the hotel. The wall of light on the
grand staircase, is our modern homage to walls of traditional deepams that
light temples and homes across India.
The hotel is targeted at the premium business traveller looking for a
perfectly calm and rejuvenating experience. The forthcoming attractions
include a Specialty Restaurant, a Nightclub, Banquet Halls, a Health Club
and the super deluxe floor. -The Residence
