The Leela Palace Bengaluru

Highlights, Beautiful hotel..superb checkin progress, with traditional Indian welcome. - world class. A few staff member were amazing. Lowlights, Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there. Staff were professional but no personably. Many staff members seemed to have a no care attitude. They don’t bother greeting guests. Just busy chit chatting with each other. During our 5 night stay I tried calling but body answers. It usually takes several tries before they pick up, On the day of checkout I tried calling front desk, operator, guest services, even the duty manager but nobody picked up, I tried for more than 10 mins, my airport transport was waiting so we had to drag all our luggage ourselves. Not sure why the customer service is so inconsistent and poor at this hotel. We frequently stay at 5 star hotels and am impressed with luxury hotels in India but very disappointed with Leela Palace.

The Leela is iconic, and yet reasonably priced relative to peers in the vicinity. Finest service I’ve ever benefited from. Not just personable, but catered to you as a person. They brought me not one, but two birthday cakes, and even offered to take me on a quick tour of the city on the way to the airport at no additional charge. I’m grateful to my friends at the Leela, and look forward to returning someday.

Had the most amazing time as a solo female traveler at the Leela. Everyone was friendly and courteous, the grounds are beautiful as is the hotel itself. I booked a guide/driver who took me to some top sightseeing spots in a nice car and made me feel safe. Also had a nice 30 min massage and made use of their steam room, sauna, and whirlpool. Wide variety of delicious food options. Amazing experience and hope to be back with my family one day.
