For the first
time ever, all venues converged as one, to create an experience that catered to every guests’
desires. Dramatic technical effects including three-dimensional projection, stereophonic sound
and cold pyrotechnics accentuated the evening.
With an entertainment lineup featuring the best of the best, the chefs at Park Hyatt Chennai went
all out to deliver a gourmet feast showcasing a kaleidoscope of International and Indian delicacies while exhibiting the finest on offer at the hotel’s outlets. Park Hyatt Chennai’s very own Pâtissier, Chef Fabien Berteau enticed guests with his avant-garde display of the finest desserts in town as they adorned the grand staircase. He seamlessly blended classical temptations with modern delights incorporating molecular gastronomy and provided guests a sweet ending to 2013.
At the core of the evening, was a larger than life profusion of entertainment curated by the Park
Hyatt Chennai team. The Flying Elephant’s very own DJ Griffin warmed up the crowd, while DVJ Dave Zobhaa mesmerized guests with his skillful blend of graphics, video and music.
Sivamani’s inventive percussion and magical ability to generate beats from just about anything
took energies to another level. This collective musical mélange, showcasing Chennai’s talent
electrified the stage in preparation for Priyanka Chopra’s landmark countdown performance.
Priyanka Chopra’s show stopping performance left the audience spellbound as she dramatically
descended from a landscaped canopy into a sea of awaiting fans. Her interactive performance
