Hotel d'Angelis was a luxury hotel and restaurant established in 1906 by Giacomo D'Angelis at Mount Road, Madras, India. The hotel is considered to have spearheaded the introduction of modern technology in India.[1]
Giacomo D'Angelis, a Corsicanconfectioner arrived in India in 1880 and set up Maison Francaise in Mount Road in the same year. D'Angelis described Maison Francaise as a "manufacturing confectioner, glacie & C., general purveyor and mess contractor". The firm was the first in India to operate a catering service and became the official caterer to the Governor of Madras during the time of Lord Ampthill.[2]
In 1906, D'Angelis founded "Hotel d'Angelis" at the Anna statue junction, where Blacker's Road meets Mount Road.[3] The hotel was the first in Madras to have an electric lift, hot water taps, electric fans, imported tiles, ice-making plant and cold storage.
The hotel was later sold to the Madras-based Bosotto Brothers bakeries company. It was eventually renamed the Airlines Hotel. In the 1970s, Bata established a shoe store on the ground level, and the building became known as the Bata Building. It was demolished in 2018.[4]
