The staff went above and beyond and took care of our family. Leela's customer service is the reason that we prefer this hotel amongst all other 5-star hotels. Our Chennai experience meant that when we went to Udaipur 2 weeks later, we booked Leela Udaipur too, and as always has an amazing experience. Thank you Leela Chennai team for a great stay!!

The Leela Palace in Chennai is an exceptional hotel. Beautiful setting, attentive staff, clean and fantastic food options. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with two young children - Raj from the Butler team was brilliant as well as the chefs Anjan, Bunuma and their teams. The only thing that would have made this even better would have been more things for young children to do eg a games room however they were very content with the beautiful pool

Rita and Riya were both excellent hostesses. They truly looked after all of my whims. They were both incredibly family and polite. Mr Ajit, the duty manager helped out when i has travelled away and left my passport at the hotel. He then orchestrated a safe retrieval of my passport. I must say i am astounded by the standards of this hotel. I would not hesitate to return here if i ever visited chennai again.

Room was beautiful and ocean view great. Housekeeping staff from all cleaners to chief butler Raj Singh were excellent keeping room well stocked with bottled water and room amenities. The only negative to the room was a slight mildew odor that attached to all my clothes that hung in the walk-in closet during my10 day stay. All needed laundered upon arrival at home even those that had been laundered at hotel for return home.

Penultimate luxury and decadence, you will want for nothing at the Leela palace, exceptional service from Rose the house keeping assistant to all the staff at reception and at spectre restaurant, the gym and spa staff were welcoming and helpful and Ajit is the best concierge a guest can ask for. I was surprised and delighted in all the best ways. If you stay here you will not regret it! The facilities are second to none. the pool is stunning and the pool staff are exceptionally helpful, the gym is fully stocked and the spa is so relaxing. The food is varied and very tasty i enjoyed the biryani and kebab festival! If you can, book this place it’s the best in chennai!
