The ITC Grand Chola is a 5-star luxury hotel in Chennai, India.[4] It is located in Guindy, opposite SPIC building and along the same row of buildings as Ashok Leyland Towers. The building, designed by Singapore-based SRSS Architects, is of mixed-use development with three separate wings and is themed after traditional Dravidian architecture of the Chola dynasty.[5] The hotel is the ninth hotel in The Luxury Collection brand.[6]

The hotel, built on over 1,600,000 sq ft, is dubbed the largest stand-alone hotel in the country[7] built with an investment of 12,000 million and has the largest convention centre in the country built on 100,000 sq ft with a 30,000-sq ft pillar-less ballroom.[8] In terms of room inventory, it is the third largest hotel in India with 600 rooms after Renaissance Mumbai Convention Centre Hotel – now rebranded as The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake (759 rooms) and Grand Hyatt (694 rooms), both in Mumbai.[9]
