“Luxury, Competence, Service and Value Perfectly Combined!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012

A magical experience that greatly exceeded even our already high expectations. The Leela Palace was booked for us by the friend we were coming to visit for our first time ever to India. Since he is a native and a long time resident of Bangalore, we overrode our travel agent's recommendation of the Oberoi (and surrendered a Multi-night discount). Subsequently we have stayed at 3 Oberois in Delhi, Agra and Ranthanbhore - all excellent to unbelievable experiences- and we still recall The Leela with affection and know we will return there when next we visit Bangalore.

“One of the best hotels you'll likely stay in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

This is a beautiful hotel with wonderful service all the way around. I've stayed here twice while in Bangalore on business, and it's the only place I'd want to stay in Bangalore.

The interiors are beautiful, the rooms more than comfortable, the pool is a great retreat (large enough for lap swimming). The gym is great and the yoga classes out by the pool at 6 am are a treat. Taking yoga early in the morning and following that with their spectacular Indian breakfast (plus other cuisines) is a great way to start the day in Bangalore.

You'd have to work hard to be unhappy here, but don't because you'd spoil it for the rest of the guests who are loving this beautiful hotel with truly gracious and capable staff.

“This is the hotel for you! Seriously”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Ok so I only stay at two places in India and this is one of them, get the new wing on a high floor and your going to be happy, you might get lost but you will certainly be comfortable and well cared for. Rooms are great, beds are clean and nice to sleep in very luxurious. The little extras are also welcome the bottled water and fruits are great little snacks and very helpful...

Room Tip: Like I said get a room in the new wing and the higher the better

“An enchanting oasis”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

This hotel is literally an oasis in the middle of Bangalore with a central garden grassy courtyard. The hotel's lobby and ground floor are magnificent with marble and muted lighting with flowers aplenty. Staff is very attentive and the hotel restaurants are good, but the menus are a bit modest. The pool is very nice and while there are no lane-markers, you can swim laps easily. Likewise the gym is well appointed and there is a 6:30AM yoga class most mornings.

Overall excellent hotel. Travel time from the airport off-hours is 45-60 minutes; it could easily be much worse during the day.
