Only Holiday Inn Express Chennai Mahindra World City has opened in Chennai.

IHG expects its latest venture with Adyar Gate Hotels to open later in 2015.

IHG South West Asia head Shantha de Silva said: "With its growing popularity as a tourism destination, the Tamil Nadu capital is a key growth city for us and, with its proximity to both the business district and tourist attractions such as the UNESCO World Heritage site at Mahabalipuram, the location of the new InterContinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort is second to none."
