“Leela Palace Chennai's butler care”
The Leela Palace Chennai is a beautiful elegant luxurious hotel many call the city's top five-star — spacious well-kept rooms with big comfy beds, Japanese bidets and luggage cloakrooms, flower garlands and welcome drinks, abundant top-tier breakfast, delicious dining (steak and salad praised), peaceful ambiance, and warm attentive butler service (manager Mayank's iced coffee gesture praised). One note: it sits a bit far from Chennai's core, and a guest expected bigger rooms and better service for the rate.
