Fabulous place to stay in Chennai. Nice pool and gym. Buffet meals very good but only value if you are hungry. Staff very good but some delays on ordering hot drinks in the lounge. Booked taxi to airport, this was an excellent service for those unused to India.

This was a beautiful stay with very quiet and serene environment. The breakfast and dinner buffets at Spectra were the highlight for us. The staff was very helpful throughout our stay. We stayed 4 nights but did not get bored of the breakfast buffets and dinner, they had a variety of options everyday.

The staff and service was excellent. The room was great. Food was outstanding. Only grievance was that the water when you first opened the tap or shower had a foul smell. You have to lwt the water run for a couple of minutes before the smell goes away.

Fabulous Service and Staff at the property. Stayed 10 days and had such a smooth stay with great attentiveness.
My whole family loved it. The rooms were immaculate with the view of the sea. The breakfast, room service and restaurants were all exceptional. Hosted a dinner at the Spectra Restaurant and the service was amazing. All the staff were professional and prompt, making our trip very memorable. Hope to stay at the Leela Palace Hotel when I come to India again in the future.

Absolutely amazing in every possible way. Staff was very friendly, grounds were beautiful, and service was top notch. They even assigned me a butler during my stay which was so helpful. Shout out to Karthik (butler), Gloria, Jyoti, and Preeti for going above and beyond expectations. Ruksana at breakfast was super sweet as well. Will only stay at the Leela next time in Chennai. Recommend it highly!

Excellent service provided by Ajit Anurag
Head Concierge. He helped to plan a meaningful tour for us and ensured that everything went well for me and my family. Ariful Haque gave us a memorable Art tour within the Palace and answered all our questions patiently. Aditiya Prasad, the Lead Concierge was ever ready to make sure that our needs were addressed and always served with a smile.
