In an age where global warming is a rising concern, Rain Tree at St. Marks Road has carved a niche for itself by making itself a luxury, yet environment-friendly hotel. A recent edition to the city, Rain Tree has certainly made its presence felt and how!

"Go green" is its motto, and is followed conscientiously. Kiosks with "green touch screens" show guests how much water and electricity the hotel saves. Different bins to dispose different kinds of garbage are in every room, thereby introducing a healthy system of recycling. Besides this, a "green button" is installed as well, so as to notch the room temperature up by a degree or two, thereby conserving energy. Not only do you, as a guest, partake in being environment-conscious, you also do it in style. The rooms are all decorated aesthetically giving a warm feel to the place. Wooden bamboo flooring, glass partitions, and a Jacuzzi amongst others lend a luxurious air to it. For business guests, special deluxe and club rooms are available.



Some of the services offered at Rain Tree include a roof-top resto-bar, a lounge bar coupled with a dance floor, a multi-cuisine restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, a business centre, a health spa amongst others.

With their "Reduce, Recycle and Re-use" policy, it's little surprise that they were awarded the ECOTEL certificate for eco-friendly excellence.

So, the next time you plan a visit to Chennai, you know where to book your stay.
