A business traveler’s guide to Guindy: Exploring Chennai’s tech hub and its premiere accommodation

Greetings fellow traveller! If you are coming to Chennai for business then get ready for some amazing moments at Guindy’s tourist sites, which is the technology hub of Chennai city. So, tighten your seat belts as we tour through this lively neighborhood discovering those hidden treasures that will remain in your memory forever.

Transformation of Guindy: From game reserve to technology Hub
Before we proceed, let’s take a moment and go back to where it all began – Guindy served as a royal hunting ground. Believe it or not, at some point in history, the Guindy National Park was just another playground for the Nawabs of Arcot who ruled over here. However, today, modern-day civilization has turned it into a buzzing centre of computers and phones of all sorts!

Well, enough about history; more on play! If you’ve been working on numbers all day in preparation for a PowerPoint presentation later tonight, then feel free to relax at one of the best hotels in Guindy before going back home.

B. M. Birla Planetarium: Writing a perfect circle
In just a 4-minute drive from my hotel, Bloom Hub | Guindy, stands B. M. Birla Planetarium. With this name you might be asking yourself what kind of place it is; is it somewhere kids go to observe things? Believe me when I say no. It is one of the places that will have you learning and being awed by what you see at the same time.

Picture this; it is like Netflix’s Cosmos, but real. At the planetarium, you will receive a vivid account of the universe. To put everything in perspective; after the day’s tensions at work make sure you visit a round-screened theatre where they project images on walls depicting planets moving around these lights.

The flying elephant: The culinary journey begins here
Well, your last destination could just be The Flying Elephant sitting at half a stone’s throw from here. You may be mistaken to think that it is an act gone wrong in a circus. Well, no, indeed this place has remained outstanding among other eateries within Chennai. From wood-fired pizzas to sushi, burgers to biryanis, there is something for everyone at this place. But boy do they know how to make Thai food!

If you’re looking for some good Thai food, please make sure you give The Flying Elephant a visit – I only speak from personal experience; it’s situated just 10 minutes away from Bloom Hub, probably the best hotel in Guindy.

Dance away your work stress with Gatsby 2000
Sometimes after managing to land a lucrative deal, one needs to allow himself/herself to loosen up a little bit and even dance to a catchy song. This is where Gatsby 2000, at a distance of just 25 minutes can make it worth the while. Imagine walking into an old Hollywood movie set where there are marvellous outfits. I don’t need to say anything more about the glitz or glamour, need I? Gatsby 2000 really is that classy place for celebrating business victories or just dancing away your working week’s problems.

Peshawari’s finger-licking North Indian food
If you’re looking for some hearty North Indian food cravings, please make sure Peshawari is included in the list of your must-visit restaurants. That means you absolutely must visit Peshawari whenever you are in this part of town! This place serves one of the best dal bukharas in Guindy. “And what’s dal bukhara,” you ask? It’s a creamy black lentil dish garnished with butter. If you crave North Indian food, this is definitely the place to check out!
