where do i stay in Chennai near Airport or railway station. Any best and economic hotels out there. also which place i shouldn't miss in nearby Chennai city center ?
Airport is out of city, if you are tourist visit its better you stay near the railway station a place called EGMORE and the street named KENNET LANE. From there all city sightseeings are within your reach.
Once when you enter kennet Lane look for a hotel Named SINGAPORE LODGE. Its best economic, decent offers A/C(Around 1000 Rs.) & NON A/C (500 Rs.) also look for other hotels on this street.
From this place, its easy for you to reach
MOUNT ROAD which has a shopping mall named SPENCER PLAZA, DLM MALL, Theatres showing english movies and you can visit T.NAGAR(Pondy Bazaar) around 10 Kilometres from your place for the very best shopping of all local and international outlets. You can visit parrys corner too. Go to marina beach near from egmore too.
For good english movies visit sathyam theatre in mount road. Always keep change when you travel by autorickshaw(three wheeler).
For outside city sight choose call taxi which you can book from your hotel itself seeing you have plenty of places on the EAST COAST ROAD like GOLDEN BEACH, MGM wonder land, CROCODILE PARK, BOAT HOUSE, MAHABALIPURAM for ancient scultpures.
If you stay for some more days you can travel to PONDICHERRY a nice french colony. Decent hotels, a nice place for taking rest in peaceful environment. Its about 3.00 hours journey from chennai.
OR if just chennai and for 3 to 4 days organize your trip priority in this way
Within city - 3 days
-----------
1. Chennai Marina Beach
2. Spencer Plaza Mount Road, Higginbothams nice place if you are fond of books
3. Shopping Malls in the Entire T.Nagar, Pondy Bazaar
4. Parrys Corner
Out of city - takes around 2 days on the EAST coast road
-----------
Golden Beach
MGM
Crocodile park
BOAT HOUSE
Mahabalipuram
if you are getting at the airport make a call taxi to enter the city if it is expensive for you, cross the airport and reach the other side(OPPOSITE ROAD of airport) you have a railway station and the its called tirisulam station. from there you have a straight train to EGMORE(city). Once when you get down in egmore station KENNET LANE is just 50 metres from the station, anyone will help you.

Dear VT Friend,
You are most welcome to Chennai. you have not mentioned what is your budget.
Anyway around Central Station ( which is the main Railway Station ) through are a lot of hotels and lodgings. there is one by name Hotel Royal Paris at Sydenhams Road (now renamed as Raja Muthiah Road ) where the daily rent is around Rs.800/-.
There is another by name Hotel Khaja Paradise, where is daily rent is around Rs.400/-.
Near the airport also there is one ,but i dont know the name.
i belong to the area Periamet which is adjacent to Chennai Central Stations and very famous for leather and leather products.
thanks

This is a great way to ease the effects of the heat. (Coconut is one of the "cool" foods, meaning it subtracts from your body temperature.) Every other corner and long-ish straight-away has someone selling fresh coconuts - take advantage! First they'll cut the end off (with a scary machete) so you can drink the fresh milk (through a straw, on request), then they scrape the flesh out for you to eat.
this is a restaurant chain providing tasty south indian food.They also have northindian food.situated inside the railway station on the left hand side.It is a small one, double storied.down stairs is a selfservice counter where you have to eat standing.Upstairs you can sit down and order food.If you have heavy luggage it is a problem hauling it up a narrow cramped stairs.always crowded.They don't provide fruit juice. all south indian breakfast
quantity is so small and food yummy usually you ask for another plate.
One of my favourite areas in Chennai. It feels as if you are in a different town when walking around here. You will see many cycle-rickshaws (some partly motorized), and plenty of shopping opportunities. It is best maybe just to walk and get lost a bit. There are plenty of smaller Temples in the area. I also came across an Armenian Church, which was being renovated at the time.
The High Court is a complex of buildings worth visiting, a beautiful red colour and also beautiful architecture.
Chennai is a city I visited frequently, until now. I have switched jobs and I will not be going there anymore. I have some mixed feelings about this. On one hand it is nice to visit a city/country that has totally different standards then what we westerners are used to. On the other hand, it is the most dirty and traffic polluted place I have visited in my life....
On this page I will share some experiences with Chennai. Note that I have been there a couple of times, but always for work so I didn't have much time to go and have a good look around. Sometimes I took a weekend to get acclimatised and prepare for a week at the office.
Chennai isn't well known for it's historic sights, but here's one: Fort St. George. The surroundings are now a compound for the state government. The Fort itself has a gallery where you can see old paintings of the glory days of colonialism.
This site is quite special, and so know the locals he made it a complete tourist trap. If you don't mind salesmen hasseling you every step of the way, this is a must see. The sea side temples of Mamalapuram have been chipped out of massive blocks of granite.
The state of Kerela in the south of India is one of the most visited tourist destinations in India. Replete with it's stunning backwaters, Kerela calls itself "God's Own Country
The undulating backwaters and the sheer expanse of greenery will convert the toughest of city slickers into nature lovers.
Here is a picture of the backwaters.
