Radisson Blu Hotel & Suites GRT Chennai- Why the Future of Business Meetings Must Be Greener, Healthier and More Purposeful
Corporate meetings are evolving beyond conventional venues, technology and business agendas. Organisations are increasingly looking for experiences that integrate sustainability, employee well being and meaningful engagement into the way they meet and connect.
At Radisson Blu Hotel & Suites GRT Chennai, the GReaT Green Meetings initiative brings these priorities together through environmentally conscious meeting setups, locally sourced cuisine and responsible operating practices. Meeting planners can also opt for tree planting initiatives to help offset the carbon footprint associated with their events.
“Corporate meetings must deliver business outcomes while reflecting an organisation’s responsibility towards people and the environment. GReaT Green Meetings makes sustainability practical, measurable and easy to implement, bringing together responsible practices, purposeful hospitality and delegate well being without adding complexity for event planners,” said Vikram Cotah, CEO, GRT Hotels & Resorts.
The hotel’s residential MICE package brings accommodation, dining, meetings and delegate amenities together under one offering, starting at INR 14,999 plus taxes per night on double occupancy, with a minimum booking requirement of 10 rooms.
The package includes premium accommodation, Sunshine Breakfast, lunch and dinner for every night of stay, a conference hall and two tea or coffee breaks. Delegates also have round-the-clock access to the swimming pool and fitness centre, along with a 15% saving on therapies at Bodhi Prana. Eligible planners can also earn double Radisson Rewards points through the Book Your Meeting offer.
The experience is further complemented by the hotel’s distinctive spaces and hospitality features. Its 74-suite Biophilia wing incorporates nature-inspired design, offering delegates a calmer environment to unwind between meetings and sessions. Customised menus, curated dining experiences, a dedicated vegetarian kitchen and personalised event support allow programmes to be tailored to individual organisational requirements.
The hotel offers venues suited to a wide range of business gatherings, from focused corporate meetings to large conventions. The pillarless Royal Ballroom can accommodate up to 1,250 guests for receptions and 750 guests in a seated format. The adjoining Royal Mile, featuring a 60-foot ceiling and natural daylight, can be combined with the ballroom for large-format events of up to 2,000 guests.
Located approximately 10 minutes from Chennai International Airport, the hotel provides convenient access to Guindy, Pallavaram, Tambaram, Chennai Trade Centre and Chennai’s industrial and technology corridors.
As the MICE sector continues to evolve, the next phase of growth is likely to focus not simply on the scale of an event, but on how effectively hotels integrate sustainability, well being and business objectives to create a more purposeful experience for both organisations and delegates.
