Vanakkam, my husband and my father stayed here for three nights as part of our pilgrimage to Tamil Nadu. We loved the friendly service, we had a breakfast package and it was worth the extra money. Hotel is beautiful. We did not get to use all of the extra amenities but the pool, reception areas and dining options are very good. The only complaint is when our driver had to pick us up and drop us off, the wait time was more than 10 minutes. Also, for the couple of days we were there, we could not figure out a direct sea access...which was disappointing because the point of us booking this hotel was to do early morning walks and meditation on the beach. The room was spacious and the workers provided a roll bed for my dad.

Leela Chennai is a phenomenal property, I stayed there 7 nights in a row and I must say that I was super impressed with try upkeep of the hotel, which is a number 1 priority for me. The fresh flower arrangements, a very humble staff, awesome breakfast buffet, the ocean views and on and on. I will like to call out Ajit from Concierge to be an amazing host and guide.
