Delhi, North & Central India, India

From the gilded domes and sparkling pool on its rooftop to the stretch limousines and silk-turbanned doormen, the Leela oozes style and grandeur. It’s one of the newest landmark hotels in the capital, and among the best situated. Chanakyapuri is the diplomatic enclave and something of a green haven from the noise and haste of the centre, with plenty of leafy parks and tomb gardens nearby if you fancy an acclimatising stroll on arrival. Five-star facilities include a multi-level spa, four restaurants and three bars. The rooftop is heated, and many of our clients venture no further, spending their down time sipping long drinks on one of the poolside loungers.
