My father is my role model whom I look upto and respect for his ideals and principles. My dad has been my biggest support all through my life for always believing in me, inspiring and encouraging me infact, both my parents are my pillars of strength because of them I am what I am today. So to celebrate my success in my career I decided to take my parents on a holiday to thank them both for everything and the sacrifices they did for me. The destination was easy to choose as it was always my father’s desire to go back to Chennai in Tamil Nadu where he had spend a major chunk of his childhood.
I looked up on the internet for trains going to Chennai from Mumbai as my parents don’t like travelling by flight so I booked first class AC on the Chennai Mail 11027. With that done I started browsing the web again for hotel accommodations. I wanted to give my parents the best that money could buy and I concluded ITC Chennai as the best option with all the facilities it had on offer.

Perfect package in ITC Grand Cholafor perfect people
I wanted everything to be perfect for my holiday with my parents so that I could be able to give my parents a trip of a lifetime that they so deserved. I choose ITC Grand Cholasince it is well located and many recreational options are available not just in the hotel but also nearby to the hotel. For e.g. the Guindy National park is close by so also the Chennai snake park. The hotel itself has many recreational facilities available for all guests.
They have swimming pool, health club, and saunaalong with steam room. Spa treatments are also available which a plus point is also for me since I wanted to pamper my parents with relaxing spa massages. The hotel has beautifully furnished rooms with AC and mini bar.
It has coffee/tea maker for the guest to indulge in, bathrobes and slippers are provided for the guest. Speakerphones and television are there also. Small banquet halls free valet parking, concierge service are also some of the facilities offered by the hotel.

Foodie Family
Unquestionably all three of us are foodies hence the food has to great wherever we go. The hotel offers restaurants which will leave you spoilt for choice. They have ten dining options and two bars! The only thing you have to figure out is which culinary experience you want to savor for the day because the cuisines on offer are mind boggling. We decided to check out two of the restaurants and believe me we had no regrets.
Royal Vega
The Royal Vega is true to its name it is a royal affair and the best vegetarian restaurant on offer. The interiors are truly grand and the menu consist of season vegetables dishes from across the royal kitchens of India.
Ottimo - Cucina Italiana
Ottimo Cusina Italiana is the second restaurant we dined in. This restaurant offers delectable Italian cuisines at its best and the USP of this restaurant is that they a have a large live kitchen!
I know this time with my parents will be full of memories.
