      There used to be an open air restaurant in Taj Connemara. Rain Tree. I used to take my family very often in the 90s. A lavish spread of vegetarian buffet. Amazing food with about 25+ desserts. Moderately priced at Rs 400 per head.

    I was born in Chennai but residing in Bangalore.
    Connemara hotel was actually the residence of the proprietor of Binny mills. It became a hotel later. The name of the road where the hotel now is located is also named after Binny.

    Though not much of fan moments from your breakfast at "The Verandah" except for the liking of Sambar which TN never fails to impress, the property walkthrough Taj Connemara instigates me to visit one of the oasis of my home town Chennai. A vlog well describing the history of colonial influenced hotel not taking away rich interiors with cultural artifacts, wooden carvings from Mahabalipuram acending to the first floor, maze like structure etc. Definitely a must visit in my checklist during one of the upcoming visits.. Thanks for entertaining us from my home town Chennai. Do make a visit to Annalakshmi Restaurant in Spurtank Road and share your reviews!!

    Pure nostalgia! Spent three wonderful years during the 70's working and getting trained by my uncle who had a travel agency in the hotel. The office was right near the entrance on the left side. We could actually feel the pulse of the hotel. Watching your video I feel the soul of the hotel is gone since the Taj group took over from the Spencer group. It looks more modern, even the older part but thank goodness that we still have this hotel with a pretty long history.

    Thank you, Mr Kripal, for covering this iconic place in Chennai. Hotel Connemara is a landmark of Chennai and a heritage like site, similar to the Chepauk cricket grounds or the Connemara Library. During our student days (1966-68) we used to appreciate and admire this place mostly from outside and venturing inside only very rarely, mostly soon after getting a money Order from home.

    Hello Kripal, I have lived at Taj Connemara and many other such 5 star hotels. Their Idly, vada or any South Indian dishes including at Leela Kempinski Mumba, Taj Man Sing are crappy. In Chennai, you should try Murugan Idly stall or Saravana Bhavan and Ratana Cafe. These are the true Chennai hotels. Normally all such Hotels give free breakfast to Gold members, but I never eat in these hotels whenever I have stayed before the pandemic.
