Chennai is a captivating place replete with intriguing museums, ornate temples, and tasty South Indian cuisine.

If you’re a beach fan, head to Marina Beach, which is the second-lengthiest city beach on the Earth! Kapaleeshwarar Temple is the place to marvel at India’s past, with delicately carved and colourfully painted figurines adorning the structure. Ready to explore Chennai and lodge in an unusual space?
