“Lavish Delhi palace, famed breakfasts”
The Leela Palace New Delhi is a must-stay for many: super beautiful rooms (the bathrooms especially), excellent soundproofing that muted New Year's street music, and warmth that feels like home — one birthday brought a chocolate cake and a Hindi birthday song. The food is a highlight: the richest breakfast guests had in India, and a dinner package of fine-dining à la carte plus buffet starters and desserts. Service drew mixed notes — one found Taj better, and a two-Key guest reported a door opened unexpectedly; the manager compensated, but the promised car was later charged at checkout.
