Adyar Gate Hotel, Park Sheraton, Crowne Plaza – this hotel in Chennai, formerly Madras, has been known by these names over decades. But come December 20, 2023, the city will bid farewell to this iconic property.
The hotel announced to its guests, “with mixed emotions” that Crowne Plaza Chennai Adyar Park will be shutting down. Baashyaam Constructions will be developing a uber luxury project in the space where the hotel stands now.

The 287-room property has hosted several high-profile weddings, events, and scenes from movies have been shot here too.
The hotel has also hosted international cricket teams, IPL teams and of course, was the home base of Chennai Super Kings.
The establishment, which formerly went by Park Sheraton or Adyar Gate, got its current name in 2015 after InterContinental Hotels Group and Adyar Gate Hotels signed an agreement.
The erstwhile Sheraton Park Hotel and Towers was initially built as Adyar Gate Hotel. The 4.5-acre property is close to the Boat Club in one of the most expensive localities in Chennai.
