The hotel was built by Macnur Hospitality Limited, 75 percent of whose equity is held by the M A Chidambaram group, in March 1999 at a cost of ₹ 340 million. In 2001, the hotel was renamed as Radisson GRT after it was bought by the city-based GR Thanga Maaligai.[2]

The hotel has 101 rooms including 7 suites, 19 business-class rooms, 46 club rooms and 29 deluxe rooms. Restaurants in the hotel include Garden Café (an all-day poolside restaurant), The Great Kabab Factory (restaurant) and the Gallop bar. Meeting spaces include The Royal Court (with 3 optional partitions) and The Royal Summit (with 2 optional partitions), both located on the lobby level, and a boardroom.
The hotel initially planned to add another 30 rooms by constructing on the land acquired adjacent to the existing hotel.[3] However, in 2010, it planned to add 70 rooms, 150 persons restaurant and an urban day spa.
In 2010, the hotel was listed among the top ranked hotels by Expedia Insiders' Select 2010.[4]
