The Leela Palace, New Delhi is located in the heart of Delhi’s prestigious Diplomatic Enclave and is arguably the most luxurious hotel in town. The palace offers luxury on a grand scale, with 260 spacious rooms and suites equipped with ultramodern technology.
The palace is a fusion of European architecture and Lutyen’s Delhi, with an evident royal Indian flair. On my recent visit to The Leela Palace, New Delhi, the Resident Manager – Kunal Chauhan – explained that the palace portrays the idea “how would a royal maharaja craft his luxury palace in the modern day?”
The Leela truly redefines luxury and excellence, boasting magnificent high ceilings, glittering chandeliers and graceful, elegant spaces. The hotel is adorned with a collection of exclusive contemporary artworks from India’s leading artists, including Satish Gupta and Satish Gujral. Along with an expansive collection of luxury art, the hotel features grand gold-leafed domes, hand-woven Turkish carpets and fine Italian décor.
There are several categories of rooms and suites, from the Grand Deluxe Room to the Presidential Suite. Each room is lavishly adorned with luxurious bedding, ornate furniture, fine marble bathrooms, a well-stocked minibar, and iPod docking stations for both him and her. Suites come with 24-hour butler services, Rolls Royce transfers, a private study, dining room, gymnasium and walk-in wardrobe.
Dining is a grand affair at The Leela Palace, with five award-winning restaurants and lounges to choose from. Qube is a glasshouse with live kitchens, where the chef will prepare a vibrant array of cuisines right before your eyes. Jamayar offers traditional Indian fare, while Megu features modern Japanese dishes. The Library Bar is an atmospheric and relaxed lounge-bar. Le Cirque (headquartered in New York) presents a gastronomic delight of French and Italian cuisines.
The Espa spa sprawls two floors, with a health bar, fitness studio, relaxation lounge, finishing studio, roof terrace and sauna, steam and drench rooms. Treatments are holistic, ethically sourced and offer only the purest organic ingredients.
