The Leela Palace New Delhi

Overview

At the very heart of the prestigious Diplomatic Enclave, just a step removed from the hustle and bustle of India’s always-busy capital city, is the heaven-sent sanctuary that is The Leela Palace. An elegant five-star property, its intriguing interiors blend Indian and European furnishings with statement pieces such as astral Murano glass chandeliers gaining particular applause. Its every inch follows Vastu principles (Indian Feng Shui) promising a sense of calmness, clarity, and creativity thanks to the many bespoke commissions by acclaimed modern Indian artists. The Leela Palace New Delhi has a generous total of 254 luxurious guest rooms and suites and ample dining options from the Italian-French fusion menu at Le Cirque (an outpost from the famed New York flagship restaurant) to signature Indian fine-dining book a table at Jamavar. The candle-lit Library Bar is ideal for a place of retreat with a signature cocktail or cigar in hand with fire pits alight on its terrace come sundown. During your stay, make the most of the guided city tours that will take you through the not-to-be-missed local spice markets. Or for a calmer affair, head to the palace’s rooftop infinity pool to take in the city’s skyline followed by an indulgent Ayurvedic treatment or Chakra cleansing with a spiritual healer in its two-story wellness center.
