The Leela Palace New Delhi

My stay at The Leela Palace New Delhi was nothing short of spectacular. The property is truly gorgeous, with beautifully manicured grounds that create a serene oasis in the heart of the city. The Library Bar was vibrant, stylish, and full of energy, making it a perfect place to unwind in the evening. Breakfast was equally impressive, with an extensive spread and standout Indian offerings. The freshly prepared chai was exceptional and added a warm, authentic touch to the morning experience.

Bhuvan made my specially requested chai! Best ever! I love how staff takes care on everything ! Thanks Leela, the team and Bhuvan ji

For the price you pay you do get the service and opulence. However in reality a tad overpriced but if its the only hotel you pay £400 a night for then I recommend it. On arrival we were greeted with garlands and a hotel made healthy beverage. We were taken to a seating area and they checked us in whilst we relaxed. Lovely touch, but I always find this quite awkward and poncy, however I go with it as its part of the hotels aura and style. Hotel inside is very well kept, clean, smells lovely and great atmosphere. We explored the hotel on arrival day and it was lovely to walk around a beautifully kept establishment. Room - Our room was clean, traditional in feel and very well laid out. Bathroom was lovely, shower, double sink, bath and plenty of towels! I couldn't fault the rooms. In our room deal we had access to the executive lounge. It was very nice. We used it on both days, food was exceptional for a lounge. The décor and staff were amazing. Restaurant - They had plenty, spoilt for choice. We wanted to eat at them all but just didn't have enough time. We ate at the main restaurant where they serve the breakfast, lovely food. Well presented and great atmosphere. We also ate at the set menu French restaurant. It felt a little dull on arrival as we were the only ones there but it soon filled up and it was a nice experience. I wouldn't say fantastic but nice. Only complaint here was we were forced to take a sitting we didn't necessarily want but they said they had set times, however on the night we found lots of sittings arriving at times that we were told couldn't happen. I felt a little annoyed but it wasn't anything that spoilt the mood. Breakfast - Amazing choice and spread. One of the best we had in India overall. And we travelled for a month over different states. If there's one thing not to miss is the Leela breakfast. Staff - All very well trained, briefed and on the ball. Porters and welcome staff were all very nice. All restaurant staff were fab. One gentleman (cannot remember his name) in particular was lovely, but sometimes too much. He would come and disturb for a chat whilst eating. If it was before or after food that's fine but whilst eating staff should know to ask for anything needed but then stay away but keep an eye. Pool - Its a rooftop pool, but not very much used. We spent a few hours up there, its not popular and its catered to very well. I would say its the biggest let down of the hotel. The ambience was dull, no real efficient food and beverage service. If you want more than a drink from the menu (which they say they can cater to) its hard work. Took 1 hour for a tray of nacho's to arrive. I didn't enjoy the pool experience as much as I would liked to. Overall experience at Leela was lovely, you feel you are in luxury when at the hotel. I would highly recommend but it is pricy for not using full facilities.

Magnificent hotel and top notch service. Dinner at Megu ( Japanese ) was delicious with fabulous staff. Sonu was professional,friendly, -and helpful with the menu

Was on a business trip and loved the hotel a lot. Great ambience and rooms. Special thanks to the HK staff for the prompt service. The experience overall was beautiful
