Ravi Mehras Delhi Hotel

Ravi Mehras Delhi Hotel is tucked away in the Sowcarpet area of Chennai. If you’ve been to Mint Street, you know it’s one of those narrow, crowded places where there’s always something happening. Our door is at No 344. It’s right near the Juna Jain Temple at Elephant Gate. You can usually hear the bells or see the people heading that way. The Elephant Gate-Sowcarpet part of the city is old and has a lot of history. It gets very busy in the afternoons. Sometimes the humidity in Chennai makes the street feel even tighter than it is. We are just a small part of this neighborhood. We don’t have a big marketing team or anything like that writing this. It’s just us here at the hotel. We see a lot of different people coming through 600001. Some are locals and some are just visiting the temple. The Juna Jain Temple is the easiest way to tell people where we are if they are lost. Mint Street is quite long so telling people we are near Elephant Gate helps a lot. We just keep the rooms ready and stay out of the way of the main chaos outside. It’s a simple place. No frills. We have been here for a while now and the neighborhood hasn't changed that much. We just do our thing here every day.
