Opened in 2013, immediately becoming the glitziest address in the city, the Leela Palace Chennai has redefined high-end accommodation in Chennai. Taking its theme from the famous Chettinadu mansions of central Tamil Nadu, the property is high-end at every turn: cool marble floors and high corridors link 326 spacious rooms, plus a vast range of facilities, amenities, and dining options. The property is the only sea-facing luxury hotel in Chennai, with all rooms boasting excellent views either out to sea or back across the city.
