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.
Sri, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Havra, 11-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
