THE LEELA PALACE CHENNAI

Built on the tip of a peninsula, the Leela is Chennai's only seaside palace. Designer Jeffrey Wilkes' touch is expressed in a baroque universe: a debauchery of crystal, silver and sandstone enhanced by vivid floral compositions. Blood red and tangerine are colors dear to Leela and you will find them in small touches in the rooms. No detail is left to chance. The huge swimming pool will not even make you want to taste the warmth of the Bay of Bengal and to tear yourself away from this enchanting setting is a real ordeal.
