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
