Madras Hotel Ashoka consists of five separate blocks and cottages. Block 1 has 25 rooms in its structure followed by Block 2 which also has 25 rooms in its structure, similar to the first Block. Then there is the Round Block and is the hot favorite with the clients most of whom are old timers to Ashoka and are regular visitors to the place. The Round Block has a very loyal following indeed because of its curious structure and awesome architecture, which is a high light. The Round block is spiral inside and is the only structure in India to have this architecture. Every two steps you climb will bring you to a room. The rooms are built into a spiral and each room is slightly higher than the other is. The round block has 49 double rooms with balconies attached to them.
