Luxury Healing Hotels Four Points by Sheraton Mahabalipuram Resort & Convention Center
Omr- Ecr Junction Point, Poonjeri, Tamilnadu, 603104 Mahabalipuram, India
HOTEL OVERVIEW
Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to the Four Points by Sheraton in Mahabalipuram, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s right at that junction where the OMR meets ECR, which sounds chaotic but actually works in your favor. You’re literally ten minutes from those famous Shore Temple ruins (you know, the ones everyone posts on Instagram), but far enough from the main tourist strip that you don’t deal with the constant honking and street vendors.
The place has this interesting vibe – it’s definitely built for conventions and business travelers, which means the lobby is spacious and the WiFi actually works everywhere. But here’s what surprised me: they’ve managed to keep that beach resort feel despite being a proper hotel chain. The rooms are larger than most places in this price range, and honestly, the AC is a godsend during those brutal Tamil Nadu summers. I stayed in April – mistake number one – but the room stayed cool even when it was pushing 40 degrees outside. The pool area is where this place really shines though. It’s big enough that you don’t feel crowded even when there’s a wedding party happening (which, let’s face it, there often is), and the poolside service is surprisingly quick.
What I really appreciated was how the staff handled the local context. They know exactly which auto-rickshaw drivers to call, they’ll tell you the best times to visit Mahabalipuram’s monuments (early morning, trust me), and someone at the front desk always seems to know if the beach road is flooded during monsoon season. The restaurant serves decent South Indian breakfast – the dosas are actually crispy, not soggy like some hotel versions – though the dinner menu skews pretty heavily toward North Indian dishes. One small thing that bugged me: the elevators are slow, and if you’re on the fourth floor during a busy conference day, you’ll be waiting. But the rooms facing the main road can get a bit noisy with truck traffic, especially early morning, so ask for something on the back side if you’re a light sleeper. The whole experience felt solid without being flashy – exactly what you want when you’re using this as a base to explore the East Coast Road or just need a reliable place to crash between Chennai and Pondicherry.
