The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts is one of India’s most prestigious luxury hospitality brands, synonymous with refined elegance, impeccable service, and deeply rooted Indian hospitality. Founded in 1986 by Captain C. P. Krishnan Nair, the group began with The Leela Mumbai, envisioned as a property that would showcase the finest in Indian luxury to the world and has since grown into a celebrated name in global hospitality.

Headquartered in Mumbai, The Leela operates a portfolio of award-winning luxury hotels and resorts across key cities and leisure destinations in India, including New Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Udaipur, Jaipur, Gurugram, East Delhi, Mumbai, Gandhinagar, Kovalam and Ashtamudi in Kerala, and Hyderabad.

These accolades reflect The Leela’s pursuit of service that blends traditional Indian warmth with modern luxury. 

Each Leela property is designed as more than just a place to stay — it’s a destination that offers personalized service, elegant rooms and suites, fine dining featuring Indian and international cuisines, and curated experiences that range from cultural rituals to bespoke events. The brand’s philosophy of “true Indian luxury” is evident in its thoughtful attention to detail, gracious service ethos, and ceremonial hospitality that honours the age-old Indian tradition of Atithi Devo Bhava (Guest is God). 

Under its current ownership by Brookfield Asset Management-sponsored funds, The Leela continues to expand aggressively with new properties both within India (such as desert and heritage resorts) and internationally, while also integrating sustainability and responsible luxury into its operations. 

In essence, The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts represents a blend of timeless grandeur, contemporary luxury, and authentic Indian hospitality, making every stay an indulgent and memorable journey.
