The Leela Palace Chennai
The interiors evoke hushed mahogany-paneled studies — in other words, don’t expect cutting-edge minimalism or museum-of-modern-art furniture. The guest rooms are spacious, with luxury suites offering panoramic views of the sea. Even the smallest rooms provide more space than the average business traveler probably needs, but this doesn’t take away from the overall efficiency you’d expect from a higher-end hotel near the business district of India’s fourth-largest city.
It goes without saying that the public spaces are designed to meet every corporate need, from high-tech conferences to old-fashioned handshake deals. And for those accustomed to conducting business over drinks or a power lunch, the stately restaurants strike just the right note.
How to Get There: The Leela Palace Chennai is located 16 km from the Chennai International Airport.

The junior suite is one of the best in the city. Tastefully and lavishly furnished. Service top class. Staying at Leela is an experience.
As an amateur athlete, the most important thing for me are training facilities. The swimming pool and gym facilities here are good. The pool is probably one of the best in many of the hotels here, it is a full 25m. Not many hotels offer that sized pool. The equipment at the gym are all up to date stuff, and located in the basement, which is good in that it is cool for workouts and not too hot. I arrived from London at 4am in the morning. Rather than flaff around at the reception desk, the reception just took me straight to my room, took a copy of my cc and passport within a minute, and just left me to it. The size of the rooms are more generous than the rooms you would get in some of the European hotels. Everything inside is well built. Big 42" tele which is nice. Pick up by the hotel car, a BMW 5 series is nice. Very comfortable an driver is quite professional. Room dining choices are quite big. I came to Chennai on business, and often do not get back till late, by which time, I do not feel like going out for dinner as it consumes a lot of time, so I end up ordering room service a lot. I have not been bored with the food. Ingredient quality is good, and so is the end results. I know when I leave here, I will miss some of the food I have had.
