The Leela Palace Chennai

A grand, majestic coastal hotel, designed as a tribute to the splendour of the Chettinad dynasty. The Leela Palace feels exactly like walking into a royal residence; a huge building with grand hallways, fountains, gold fixtures and dark wood furnishings.

As a beachfront property expect stunning sea views from your room or from the social and dining areas. The 11 room categories here are all well appointed, with either city or sea views and the suites are complete with large living areas and penthouse vistas over the twinkling lights below. There’s a large swimming pool and tropical gardens that surround the hotel, adding to the regal feel. Dining here is a treat with several restaurants offering a range of oriental, international or Indian cuisines. There’s also a lobby lounge and delicious cake shop where you can taste some of Chennai’s tastiest sweet treats.
