Footprint
is an intimate 9-room bed & breakfast located in a quiet, up-market
residential neighborhood close to the Boat Club Area in South Chennai.
Our B&B is located on the 2nd & 3rd floors of an eight-unit apartment
building, and is managed by Rucha and Ashish Gupta, who bring with them
rich experience in hospitality & travel management - Ashish is
co-founder of the Barefoot Group, based in the Andaman Islands
The theme of the B&B is a fusion of Asian
and European styles with a simple, uncluttered design and warm ethnic
colours. The nine rooms are spacious and well-furnished with large beds
(7 twins & 2 king), spring mattresses and premium linen. All rooms come
with air-conditioning, direct-to-home satellite television, tea/coffee
maker, and free WiFi internet connectivity. Ensuite bathrooms are
western-style with showers and hot & cold running water.
Public spaces are fully-air
conditioned. There are two living rooms to entertain visitors or chat
with fellow guests. A common dining area has a small sit-out (for
smokers). A library nook has books and magazines on travel and nature
for reference. A computer with free internet connectivity is available
for all guests.
Breakfast is served in the
dining area. Guests have a choice of full-Western or Indian breakfast.
For other meals, a range of order-in menus from neighborhood restaurants
are available
Accommodation
The 9 rooms are spacious and well furnished with large beds (2 king-beds
& 7 twin-beds), spring mattresses and premium cotton linen. Duvets
are provided in all rooms. Guests have a choice of pillows to choose
from. The twin-beds have been designed so that they can be joined
together to form a gap-free king-size double bed (on request). Bedside
wall lamps are provided for guests who like to read in bed.
All rooms
come with individually remote-controlled air-conditioning. Where guests
do not want air-conditioning, they are welcome to keep the windows open
for fresh air. Mosquito net panels are fixed to all windows as a measure
of protection. All rooms are non-smoking.
Direct-to-home satellite television from Tata Sky with over 70 channels
are offered in all rooms. We have saved a list of our popular English
entertainment, sports, and news channels under Favourites. There is a
tea/coffee maker with sachets and tea bags for your convenience, and
free WiFi internet connectivity. A collection of daily newspapers are
available in the lounge and dining area.
Most rooms
have large prints with embedded leaves on the wall - this is a technique
invented in the Auroville commune (near Pondicherry) using handmade
recycled paper and dried leaves from indigenous trees. Artwork displayed
on the wall above the desks are original drawings by Bruce Peck
depicting colonial buildings and street life from Chennai.
