NEWS| Chennai's Luxe Christmas Bashes

From across town, Express Buzz gets you the hippest events for this Christmas







FISHERMAN’S COVE

This uber-chic resort hotel from the Taj stable offers a beachside Christmas party, with the backdrop of the Bay of Bengal. With an oceanic allure and waves moistening the sands, the fiesta at Fisherman’s Cove promises to be one you won’t forget. The party starts with a live band singing evergreen chartbusters and Christmas carols, followed by DJs belting out foot tapping numbers. Between the festive atmosphere and the fabulous view, every moment is precious. You’ll also have a variety of unlimited premium liquor, red and white wines and a never-ending lavish dinner smorgasbord at your fingertips.

PRICE: Rs 3000

DATE: On Christmas Eve, from 8 pm onwards.

Fisherman’s Cove also offers a Christmas sparkling brunch at Seagull for Rs 1399 on December 25.

COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT

Festivals are about feasting: the Courtyard by Marriott will be holding a traditional Christmas dinner buffet on Christmas Eve for revellers to enjoy. If you’re not too stuffed by the end of the day, come back for a festive brunch on December 25. Besides the endless turkey dinner and otherwise delicious food, just stepping into the Courtyard by Marriott’s swanky lounge will get you in a Christmas mood. The décor features the Marriott’s usual classy elegance, augmented for the occasion by a huge, brightly lit Christmas tree and other festive decorations. The ambience doesn’t end with glamorous decorations and glittering lights—music lovers will also be soothed by their favourite Christmas carols and other seasonal music serenading in the background.

PRICE: The brunch is priced at Rs 995 (Rs 1300 with alcohol).

THE PARK

Christmas for the urbane Chennaiite is more than just cookies and Christmas trees. Celebrate this midwinter’s festival in swanky style at one of the city’s top hotels. The Park’s rendition of Christmas is a high-spirited commercial night, with the best tunes spun by DJ Sameer and Ajmal. If you like to feel like you're a movie star, The Park's festive decor will not override its perennial atmosphere of high-class film chic. Classy only gets classier during festival seasons. The Park's brand of gifts this year beat a new pair of socks, or even a scrumptious plate of cookies, by a long shot: superb cocktails and mocktails, and a special drink on the house called The Eggnog. This lavish list of liquours is available exclusively at The Park. Add a rocking party to your roster of Christmas memories.

PRICE: Rs 1000 for two

LE ROYAL MERIDIEN

Le Royal Meridien has been eagerly anticipating this Christmas season, and all the excitement will culminate in a lavish three-day bash, beginning on December 24. The celebration starts at the posh 24-hour restaurant Cilantro, which is hosting a Christmas Eve feast from 7 to 11 pm, accompanied by a live band. If you’re yearning for the traditional taste of turkey dinner, there’s nowhere better to go that Cilantro. Don’t eat too much, though: leave room for the larger-than-life Christmas brunch on the 25th. Think that's all? Think again—the party still hasn’t stopped! On the 26th, join The Flame party with a performance by a special guest DJ. Show up for the longest bash of them all!

PRICE: Rs 1000 at Cilantro, Rs 4000 at Kayal (Seafood restaurant) All other prices yet to be finalised.

GALATTA PARTY

Shakthi Girish, editor of the glamorous Galatta Cinema magazine, is planning to host a Christmas bash to remember. The party will be held at one of Chennai’s leading hotels and will include close friends, supporters, and many a celebrity, with the final guest count reaching upwards of 250. In the spirit of the season and with an eye for glitz, Shakthi is enforcing a red or green dress code, and she herself will sport an exquisite outfit designed by Julie Vergis.

In all the fun, she isn’t forgetting the spirit of the season, and is supporting local charities as well. This is one party that promises to have gate-crashers, but strictly policed by her motley crew of pals. The food and location are sure to be excellent, and the company even better.Register at http://www.galatta.com/ G3.
