Spotlight on The Leela Palaces in Chennai

As we continue to celebrate The Leela Palaces Hotels & Resorts World’s Best award by Travel & Leisure US we look back at their flagship property in Chennai, India.

Located in Eastern India in a 6.25-acre mixed use development near Adyar Beach, the project features 28,000 SF of banquet and meeting facilities, including a 15,000 SF ballroom and rooftop function terrace, seven restaurants and bars, an exclusive rooftop venue overlooking the Bay of Bengal, and a health club and spa, this 15-story hotel is the perfect combination of luxury hospitality and rich cultural tradition.

The architecture of the hotel draws inspiration from the region’s fortress-like mansions and palaces of Chettinad, historically filled with riches brought back by the merchant community from their travels, as reflected in the exquisite décor and thoughtful architectural expression. To take full advantage of the hotel’s unique location the guestrooms facing the sea feature baths along the exterior wall with windows that allowing for a luxurious bath with secluded sea-views. The perfect place to unwind, relax, and take in the views!
