The Leela Experience

Our Story

The Leela was founded by Late Capt. C. P. Krishnan Nair, a well-travelled businessman who envisioned a world of luxury Indian hospitality. He established The Leela Mumbai in 1986, the first of an empire of luxury hotels that set new global benchmarks of comfort and service with the grace and warmth of traditional Indian hospitality. At heart, The Leela embodies the spirit of Atithi Devo Bhava (Guest is God).

Today, The Leela brand is synonymous with true Indian luxury. Our iconic properties are located in India’s most mesmerising destinations and celebrate the country’s diverse geography, rich culture and architectural history. We have been voted World’s Best Hotel Brand twice, featured thrice in the Top 3, and consistently rank among the Top 10 Best Hotel Brands in the World in reader surveys.

Tishya by The Leela

Inspired by the ancient Sanskrit word that signifies a sense of joy and happiness, Tishya is our signature fragrance with a range of bath amenities exclusively crafted for The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts. The fragrance is inspired by Kumud or lotus, the national flower of India, and Neelakurinji, the wonder flower that blooms in the Nilgiris only once every 12 years.

Much more than just a guest amenity, Tishya by The Leela celebrates the essence and richness of India with a blend of authentic and inspiring aromas that transport you to a divine sensory experience. These are 100% vegan, paraben and SLS-free, and developed using pure essential oils and natural, floral fragrances. They come in planet-conscious packaging that is completely recyclable.

Aujasya by The Leela

With its roots in the ancient Sanskrit word that describes ‘vigour of life’, Aujasya by The Leela is our signature wellness programme created to redefine the path to holistic wellbeing. It encompasses a range of authentic experiences, each a unique blend of traditional and modern practices. These build vivacity and enable our guests to embrace an enriching and healthy lifestyle.

Restore (Food and Nutrition) is the first pillar of Aujasya by The Leela where we have re-imagined culinary experiences across the country by improving the nutritional profile of food menus and offering healthy alternatives. These menus have been thoughtfully created in collaboration with Dr. Ankita Jalori, a renowned nutritionist and food consultant. With a generous use of millets, lean proteins, low-fat dairy and whole grains, the menu achieves the perfect balance of health needs and gastronomic indulgence.

The Leela Palace Services

For over three decades, The Leela brand has been known for its unique personalised services with incredible attention to detail and the graciousness of true Indian hospitality. Guided by the principle of Atithi Devo Bhava (Guest is God), we keep our guests at the centre of everything we do. Every guest experience is personally curated by Butlers assigned as a single point of contact across more than nine touchpoints: from pre-arrival messages to packing and unpacking assistance, laundry services, guided walks, memorable celebrations, and more.

We instinctively anticipate the needs and desires of our guests, both stated and unstated, and strive to create incredible moments of delight and discovery. Every interaction with our associates is marked by sincerity, warmth and joy. We genuinely love pampering our guests, which is why we create celebrations out of even ordinary events such as arrivals, farewells, or the Royal Breakfast in Bed experience.
