Rooms
All rooms and suites at the Leela Palace are lake-facing, providing views across Lake Pichola to the Aravalli hills beyond. The spacious rooms are beautifully finished to a high standard and are dressed with sumptuous furnishings, offering a modern feel but with a traditional Mewari twist. Bathrooms are also spacious, with the large bathtubs ideal for a soak after a long day of sightseeing. Most of the rooms have a balcony, allowing you to take advantage of the views.
Suites offer significantly more space than the rooms, featuring a dining room, living room and study, as well as a private plunge pool on the balcony. The Royal Suite has a four-poster bed and private Jacuzzi, while the grand Maharaja Suite comes complete with its own massage room, pantry, gardens and butler service. It can also connect with another room to provide even more space for a family or group of friends.
Location
Ideally situated on the banks of Lake Pichola, the hotel is within walking distance of the city's main attractions, including the City Palace. As it鈥檚 on the lake, you can also travel by boat to and from the city, which is particularly picturesque in the late afternoon as the sun goes down.
Food and drink
The traditional dining room serves a wide range of international dishes and is open all day. The breakfast is particularly good, offering a variety of cuisines and dishes. If you prefer to dine outside, the Sheesh Mahal offers an alfresco option with dreamy views of the illuminated city palace. For more casual drinks and snacks, the Poolside or Library Bar are ideal, or for something a little more romantic you can arrange for private dining within the hotel grounds. Evening canap茅s are also offered, and you can enjoy afternoon tea in the hotel's courtyard.
