ITC Grand Chola, Chennai has launched Ollie’s Club, a soft indoor play area and kids’ café designed to bring together play, imagination, adventure and learning for children. The boutique space features games, activities and a soft play zone, along with a 15-seater café for families. Open to both resident and non-resident guests, Ollie’s Club offers families in Chennai a hospitality-led space where children can play, explore and enjoy curated experiences.

Inspired by the Olive Ridley Turtle, which is closely associated with the Tamil Nadu coastline, Ollie’s Club takes inspiration from the turtle’s journey back to familiar shores. The idea connects with themes of discovery, belonging and adventure.

With the philosophy “Small Turtle. Big Purpose. Bigger Adventures,” the club also introduces children to ideas around caring for the environment through play and creative experiences. Activities will explore themes such as ocean conservation, responsible consumption, renewable energy and the principles of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. From time to time, the Ollie’s Club team will host activities around these themes for children and families. The space will also conduct arts and crafts, creative workshops, storytelling sessions and sustainability-focused experiences.
