The Leela Palace, Chennai

Why we like The Leela Palace, Chennai

The hotel offers speciality dining that would satisfy the most discerning of palates. The cuisine here is experiential — worth a stay on this merit alone.

Facilities

Sea facing and in close proximity to the airport, the Leela Palace is well placed. On arrival, you are transported back to a traditional 19th century Chettinad Palaces of this region.

Choose from rooms or suites, with chic decor. Most of the rooms have a sea view.

For the perfect wind-down after a city tour takes a swim, or simply swim up to the pool bar, and make yourself comfortable. There is also a state of the art fitness centre.

In addition to the three restaurants, there is a further indulgence, the Leela Cake Shop, headed up by the Parisien trained pastry chef, Avijiit Gosh. With a reputation spreading like a wildfire through the city, it stands head and shoulders above anywhere in Chennai for dessert.
