Buhari Hotel

Our hotel is right at No 19 Gandhi Irwin Road, which is directly opposite the Egmore Railway Station here in Chennai. If you’ve ever traveled through Egmore, you have probably walked past our doors. Being across from the station means it is almost always busy. We see a lot of people coming and going at all hours of the day and night. We have been here for a long time, and the building has seen a lot of history. It’s not one of those new, shiny glass hotels. It’s a place with some character and some wear and tear, too. We serve food and have rooms for people who are waiting for their trains or just arriving in the city. The noise from the station and the buses on Gandhi Irwin Road is just a constant background sound for us. We don't try to hide that we are in the thick of it. The staff is used to the fast pace and the different kinds of people who come through. We don't have a mission statement or anything like that. We just focus on getting the food ready and making sure the rooms are occupied. It’s a landmark for many locals who have been eating here since they were kids. We just keep doing what we have always done, which is providing a place to eat and stay in one of the busiest parts of Chennai. It's a simple business.
