Turyaa Chennai, a five-star deluxe hotel under the Aitken Spence Hotels banner, has officially completed a decade of hospitality excellence. Launched in 2015 and located along Chennai’s bustling IT expressway, the hotel has become a landmark for business travellers, global visitors, and the local community alike.

Conceptualized by the late Deshamanya D.H.S. Jayawardena, the hotel was born from his belief that Indian soil could be a home for Aitken Spence’s hallmark warmth and global standards. A decade later, that legacy continues to shine through every guest experience, every team member’s passion, and every milestone achieved.

To mark this special 10-year anniversary, Turyaa Chennai rolled out a month-long celebration. Events included religious blessings, a dinner for loyal guests and partners, team member awards, and culinary showcases that honoured the hotel’s deep South Indian and Sri Lankan heritage.

Beyond the festivities, the hotel reaffirmed its commitment to community and inclusivity by donating wheelchairs to Tamil Nadu Railways—a thoughtful step towards improving accessibility for all. This meaningful gesture reflects the enduring values of Aitken Spence and the compassionate spirit of its founder.

“Today, as we celebrate ten years, we’re not just marking an anniversary—we’re celebrating values, people, and the vibrant spirit of connection that makes Turyaa so special. We are grateful to Chennai for embracing us as one of their own,” said Stasshani Jayawardena, Chairperson, Aitken Spence Hotel Holdings PLC.

Over the years, Turyaa Chennai has welcomed world travellers, business leaders, celebrities, and loyal local patrons. With 140+ rooms and suites, vibrant dining venues, expansive event spaces, and a rooftop leisure zone, the hotel has carved a distinctive niche in Chennai’s hospitality landscape.

Looking ahead, Turyaa Chennai is set to deepen its focus on renewable energy, eliminating single-use plastics, promoting community-driven tourism, and using digital innovation to personalise guest stays—continuing its journey with sustainability and care at the core.

As Turyaa Chennai turns 10, it celebrates not just the past—but the people, progress, and purpose that define its future.
