Bangalore's Leela Palace Kempinski evokes the rich heritage of a bygone era. The regal ambience of old-world opulence combines with modern technology to welcome business and leisure travellers.
The Leela Palace suites are adapted for efficiency (two line telephones and high-speed internet) and comfort (a private balcony and personalized butler service). To fully enjoy the idyllic calm of the hotel, insist on a Garden View suite. The garden, with its small, waterfall fed lagoon, and enclosed by the hotel, is outstandingly soothing.The Leela Palace Kempinski's location, once on the edge of the city, is now very urban, with bustling energy just outside the door. Once inside the hotel, however, the pace of Bangalore slows. Within the hotel is an up-market galleria, or for those venturing out of the hotel, the nearby Mahatma Ghandi Road is crammed with shops and restaurants.
Another way to retire from the bustle of India's IT capital is to visit the Leela Kempinski's Library Bar. With dark wood, leather interiors, and a great collection of books and cigars, this charming room is where the gentlemen of yesteryear would surely choose to unwind.
