What guests think

Across many reviews, travellers describe The Leela Palace New Delhi as a luxurious, serene base with elegant rooms and polished facilities such as the rooftop pool, spa, and club lounge that meaningfully enhance the overall stay.

Staff friendliness and attentiveness are widely praised, from thoughtful concierge support to seamless airport assistance. Rooms are generally spacious and well appointed, though a few guests noted maintenance issues, smoke smells, dated areas, construction noise, or uninspiring views. The diplomatic enclave location feels safe and convenient for reaching sights and the airport, but shops nearby are limited and taxis are often needed. Dining is strong overall—breakfasts and restaurants impress—yet some reviews mention weak coffee, vegan handling, wine pricing, or limited lounge choices. Expect polished luxury with consistently excellent service.

The hotel is under renovation and its best to stay away from it for the next 6 months. The top floor rooms reek of paint and chemicals. The rooms on the lower floors have malfunctioning. Our air conditioner was broken. The taps in the bathroom had muddy water coming through when we tried to fill our bath tub. The pool was closed and we were asked to drive out to another hotel to use the pool. Overall a terrible experience.

Beautiful hotel. The pool is amazing. Excellent value for money is you get the packages up front like Club or food packages). Service is good, but they try to up sell their add on (expensive) services, which if fine. Food and drinks are expensive, but to be expected. The Spa expensive although expensive were amazing, and worth the money. A great small touch is the incredible flowers everywhere; incredibly beautiful.

Its disappointing that one of the prettiest properties in the nicest location in Delhi is not good value for money. Another hard to miss feature was plastic water bottles everywhere— in rooms, at the breakfast buffet and even in their cars. Its well known polluter but also not healthy option for drinking water. The sheets in the room prepared for check in had large blobs and stains on the inside. The shower in the second room they assigned did not work properly either- and both these were supposed to be club rooms on the 7th floor.

We stayed at the Leela for just two nights, since we were in transit to Leh. The service and food in the Cube restaurant were absolutely great. So good in fact, that we did not try any of the other restaurants. Had we stayed longer, we certainly would have. As to be expected, the quality of the furnishings in the room were to notch.

This is an outstanding hotel. The rooms were very spacious and tastefully decorated with all the amenities you would expect in a 5-star hotel. The restaurants were top-notch. The staff was the best part of the experience. They were very responsive, prompt, and courteous. The hotel is centrally located in New Delhi (a 15-minute drive to Connaught Place), yet surrounded by greenery. It is very easy to commute to and from, with Uber and cabs available within 5-minute notice.

Great modern 5 star hotel but not exactly a palace. Location is good but the views are not as we overlooked some derelict sites. The glass on the Qube restaurant needs some cleaning. Unfortunately, VIP status was not recognised and the upgrade offered was a Club Room without use of any facilities which seemed pointless. Nevertheless, the upgraded room did not materialise and our room was the one that we had originally booked and by the lift.

Our first time in India and stayed two nights at the Leela Palace after reading all the excellent reviews. Booking into a Premier Royal room gave a one way airport pickup or drop off which we used to get to the hotel. This took the pressure away from finding a taxi that would actually deliver us to the hotel safely. Our driver was amazing and informative. On arrival at the hotel we were treated like royalty and our room was very nice. Only down side was staff in the Cube restaurant need more training around dietary issues that people may have. My wife is vegan and they struggled to understand what was or wasn’t vegan. Sometimes we ordered food and it never arrived. Overall a fantastic stay and we probably would return.

The service at this property was unmatched and the rooms were gorgeous. Definitely not a modern hotel, so if that's what you'd like, look elsewhere. Instead, it's a romantic, beautifully appointed, and well-maintained historic hotel. I hope I have the chance to return!

Great hotel. But two main issues. Firstly, we messaged them to provide our flight details but they never replied. Tried calling for hours but there was no answer. Thankfully, someone from the hotel was at the airport to collect us. Second issue was that when we checked in we told them we had more luggage so our car to the airport would need to be bigger. However at checkout they did not provide this and we rode to the airport with luggage in our lap. Other than that, the hotel was amazing and service first class.

I have stayed at Leela palace many times , but always impressed about everything else BUT there stale and cheap coffee, I wish they can inoprove on the quality of there breakfast . I choose to stay 2 out of my 10 day vacation at Oberoi hotel and there coffee was excellent and there egss nd breakfast was amazing ...something leela palace can learn from ! Oberoi was though had the old feeling even though customer service at oberoid was comparable to Leela palace . So if Oberoi is to improve their looks to leela , Ill stay at Oberoi for their excellent offerings

The breakfast is great with a lot of options and a la carte service at the table which we really enjoyed. The Indian restaurant Jamavaar was good with dal makhani and lamb biryani, the highlights but Delhi has such good options for dinner that you can get much better elsewhere. Overall I would recommend a stay at this wonderful property.
