The Leela Palace Chennai

I love the Leela brand, and I have stayed at the Leela hotels in multiple locations in India. Each hotel has its own theme and Leela does this extremely well, but I have my favourite, the Leela Palace in Chennai. At the foremost is Leela’s unrivalled hospitality fit for royalty. As soon as the guest arrives the guest is immersed into an environment of luxury where an exceptional service springs into action. The whole team work as clockwork and they do this brilliantly from the meet and greet to the front desk, the concierge to housekeeping, the staff at the lobby/lounge, the restaurants and oh my god Spectra is awesome, the buffet spread is huge, and each food station is unique, the food is extremely delicious (well done to the chefs), eat until you drop is my motto. The décor is beautiful, the rooms are very clean and spacious with 5 star facilities, the courtyard, the swimming pool on the third floor and the landscape gardening are all a must see feature, everywhere you go you are greeted with respect, and everyone is so polite, this is why I have made the Leela Palace my home and I will keep returning in the foreseeable future. Leela Palace is truly the paradise of the south. I have a very long list of people to thank at the hotel: Shimali the director of customer experience who is very passionate about her role and does her utmost best to ensure the guest receives the best and deserving experience that they can possibly get, Rohit (what a gem he is), Sudeshna, Jeetu, Prachi, Prabakah, Suman (housekeeping floor 7), Siva (housekeeping floor 3), Radhika, Souvik (front desk)……the list is endless, so thank you very much Leela Palace for making my stay a pleasant and a special one, see you soon.

The hotel’s ambience and service were truly exceptional. Our children had a fantastic time enjoying the pool, and we also used the spa facilities—especially the jacuzzi. A special mention to Aparna from the spa, who was incredibly warm and welcoming. We also had a sumptuous breakfast each morning, and the food at the Indian restaurant was equally impressive—delicious and beautifully presented. A heartfelt thank you to Ajit Anural from the concierge team, who went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our stay was perfect. His thoughtful service truly made our visit memorable. We hope to be back at Leela sometime soon!

We had the most amazing girls’ weekend at The Leela Palace Chennai! From the stunning sea views to the luxurious rooms and incredible spa, everything was flawless. What truly made our stay unforgettable was the exceptional service from Urvashi. She went above and beyond to make us feel special – from personalized touches to her warm, thoughtful care throughout. Every moment felt curated just for us. The food was delicious, the cocktails perfect, and the vibe exactly what we needed. If you're planning a girls’ getaway, this is the place – and ask for Urvashi. She’s the absolute best!

Excellent hotel. Good welcome, good service, large, clean and very well-designed rooms.
