Hilton has announced the signing of Hilton Chennai Egmore, further strengthening its presence in Tamil Nadu and advancing its growth strategy in South India. The new property, developed in collaboration with MKR Estate Developers Private Limited, part of the MGM Healthcare Group, is expected to open its doors in January 2029.

Once operational, Hilton Chennai Egmore will expand the presence of Hilton’s flagship brand, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, in the city, joining the existing Hilton Chennai.

The upcoming hotel will feature 195 spacious guest rooms and suites, with standard rooms averaging 390 square feet. Guests can look forward to a range of amenities, including diverse dining options such as an all-day dining restaurant, specialty venues, a lobby bar, and a rooftop lounge. Wellness and recreation facilities will include a spa, fitness centre, and both indoor and outdoor pools, while unique additions like a bowling alley and a children’s play area will cater to families and leisure guests alike.

With nearly 17,000 square feet of event space, including two grand ballrooms, a meeting room, and a boardroom, the property aims to serve as a preferred venue for corporate gatherings, conferences, and social events in Chennai’s city centre.

Clarence Tan, Senior Vice President, Development, Asia Pacific, Hilton, said:

“Hilton Chennai Egmore represents our second Hilton Hotels & Resorts property in Chennai, underscoring the strong demand we see for our flagship brand in this region. With expansive event venues and family-friendly amenities, this hotel will meet the growing needs of Chennai’s business and leisure travelers.”

Zubin Saxena, Senior Vice President and Country Head, Hilton, South Asia, added:

“The signing of Hilton Chennai Egmore is a significant step in strengthening our South India portfolio. Chennai is an anchor market for both business and leisure travelers, and this new property allows us to serve the city’s growing demand for elevated hospitality experiences.”

M. K. Rajagopalan, Chairman, MGM Healthcare Group, shared:

“Our partnership with Hilton marks a significant step in shaping Egmore’s evolution as an urban hub. With Hilton’s global expertise and our vision for Egmore, we are confident this hotel will set a new benchmark in Chennai’s hospitality landscape.”

Located in Egmore, one of Chennai’s most vibrant cultural and commercial districts, the hotel will be part of a mixed-use development that includes a commercial office complex, ensuring a steady base of business and event demand.

As Chennai continues to thrive as a hub for automotive manufacturing, IT services, healthcare, and finance, along with its rich cultural heritage and growing leisure appeal, Hilton Chennai Egmore is poised to become a landmark destination for travelers seeking quality hospitality in South India.
