Went to New Delhi 3 weeks ago and stayed for 4 nights at the Leela Palace Hotel. It was fabulous! You couldnt even open a door yourself they were there as soon as you went to open it. They also had the facility of a company car and also their own taxi service. We used the taxi service to visit all of the local sites such as the red fort, the tombs and then found us a rickshaw to go around the old town which was something i will never forget. You are being cycled around with cars, taxis, tuk tuks, motorbikes all merging into the same street with cables hanging down above!! we hired their company car to take us to the Taj Mahal which was a two and a half hour drive but really worth the money to travel in luxury. The Taj Mahal was everything and more! The hotel had a pool on the roof which we used every evening after sight seeing. They provided you with bottles of water, towels as soon as you stepped onto the roof. The restaurants in the hotel were fabulous. we tried the indian cuisine and their recommendations were fantastic. we tried their bar meal for supper one evening and the prawns were sumptious. If you are planning to come to Delhi the Leela Palace is definitely the hotel to stay in. The staff couldnt do enough for you. We stayed here before going to Goa! So pleased that we did!

We stayed at the Leela for 3 nights prior to touring around the Golden Triangle. We arrived late so they did our check-in in the room. Room was a reasonable size but well appointed. Bathroom is excellent and spacious - bath with TV which i like. Service throughout the hotel was excellent. Breakfast in the Qube was very good. We had dinner at Megu (Japanese) and Le Cirque (Italian) - both excellent. The wine list is extensive - wine is expensive in India but there are good value wines to be had. Oliver the excellent sommelier can help you with the best choices. We have stayed at a lot of pretty good hotels around Asia and the Leela would be near the top of the list. For the price we paid it would be easily the best value especially when compared to hotels in Hong Kong where we live. The hotel is in the diplomatic area but access to Delhi sites is pretty easy given most people will have a car and driver. We can't wait to go back and given how much we enjoyed the sites in Delhi it won't be long.

The Leela Palace is a great place to stop over when flying into Delhi before flying on elsewhere.

The food is excellent and even the coffee comes with extras and is beautifully presented.

The pool is always welcome, security is high, and the pedicure is just the best with tea brought to you on a tray whilst you recline being pampered.

The staff are welcoming and friendly, and so helpful.

When I wanted garlands made up to take to Udaipur it was done so quickly and they were brought to me to inspect - beautiful!

The only downside = if you go outside to have a cigarette and want a drink with it, it's a no no, either - have a drink, or - have a ciggie! I like both together, as do most people.

India has got very hot on this aspect but it's hilarious when you see the state of some of the streets and general lack of hygiene outside.

Sort this one out (provide an area to do both as we do here please) and you have a great hotel in Delhi!

Fantastic in every way. Fababulous service, accommodation, food, facilities, etc. what more do you want. I went with my son, daughter and wife.. We wanted for nothing, great holiday & would recommend to all!
