Room was beautiful and ocean view great. Housekeeping staff from all cleaners to chief butler Raj Singh were excellent keeping room well stocked with bottled water and room amenities. The only negative to the room was a slight mildew odor that attached to all my clothes that hung in the walk-in closet during my10 day stay. All needed laundered upon arrival at home even those that had been laundered at hotel for return home.

The Leela Palace in Chennai is an exceptional hotel. Beautiful setting, attentive staff, clean and fantastic food options. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with two young children - Raj from the Butler team was brilliant as well as the chefs Anjan, Bunuma and their teams. The only thing that would have made this even better would have been more things for young children to do eg a games room however they were very content with the beautiful pool
