Amazing hotel. Service and ambience was amazing. Truly a 5 star hotel without a doubt. The signature lamb dish at Sheesh Mahal was the best lamb dish we have ever had. Will definitely come back to the Leela
This short four day trip to Udaipur - The Leela Palace was our meant to be out pit stop amidst a very busy month. And we really did not want to leave.. If the review allowed for only one thing to be talked about, then it would be the service and hospitality at the Leela palace. Their understanding of the customer is intuitve, they are gracious to the fault and while they are all smart, young and modern, they exemplify the glorious Indian hospitality. Each and every person, on our 4 days stay made us feel very very special. Whether organising a trip at a short notice, remembering what we liked for food at last meal at the resturant, taking the children to an alternate pool or arranging a ritual in the in -house temple. Our two special highlights - A lovely intimate send off celebration for my elder one who is going to university and the chef preparing Maggi for eating at the bar for my fussy 10 year old. He has resolved that he will stay only at Leela because they know that Maggi is the best food for kids !! I am acknowledging in this review some of the staff - Himanshu, whose constant attention, scheduling, itenary preparation and send off celebration would put him in the category of famous Butlers! Avishek and Raveena in the resturant, who I dont think ever slept because I saw them at all meals. Rupal for an excellent welcome and in room checkin ( a first again). Ananya for always standing with a smile at the welcome gate Krittika and Sandeep, the senior members of staff, whose confident presence and leadership was very reassuring. Tarun, at the spa, who so gladly took children off our hands and let us enjoy the best of therapy and facilities The boatmen and conceirge staff who ferried us up and down the lake. About the the Palace The property is breathtaking. Located at the edge of the Pichola lake, the magnificient gold and mustard heritage architechure, set off against the green and blue immediately transports you into another world. The central quadrant is a destination itself. The classic white and black marble neatly lining squares of verdant green. A shimmering water body centerpiece, attracts birds and people alike reminds how precious is this resource to the region. Marble benches with canopies, parapets and hanging turrets with expansive views of the lake will ensure your instagram moments never stops. At sundown, the high fires are lit, a local musician fills the air with longing tunes and the waft of fresh bread on tandoor from the Sheesh Mahal resturant making the atmosphere surreal I must mention the unusal Guava Garden and the parrots I spotted there, bringing back grandma's tales. The Rooms and Interiors Very tastefully and exquisitely done, The Leela Palace interiors reflect the traditions, folklore and the grandeur of the Mewar region of Rajasthan. The silver decors - Idols , Figurines, Furniture placed along the corridors and common areas highlight the shining speciality of Udaipur. Take a minute to notice the carvings in the inner courtyard and how the candle is lit behind the screen to diffuse soft warm lighting. The walls will give you a gallery feel with miniature paintings and textile frames - all authentic and curated. Do not rush through these corridors, just let it fill your senses. Honestly, if you choose not to step put of the property, it is alright as well. The rooms of course are very comfortable and modern. I am sure whatever you choose - Garden view, Lakeview, Courtyard view, balcony or no Balcony you will not miss out on anything. All amenities are provided, in room service and wifi always works. The spaces are smartly and cozily optimised The two resturants offer a delectable spread at all meals. Just enjoy the food, and if you really crave something, I am sure the chef will make it for you. The Spa is heavenly and treatment and masseuse are really good. The number of treatments are not too many, thus each one is expertly executed.I say this because I am not an easy one to please when it comes to spa . How to get there The Leela runs is own boats from two Jetty's - Doodh Talaiya and Brahmpole. Even before you reach the city, by air, train or land, the team will help you or even get you to the jetty. The boats are motor boats, stable and have life jackets which they insist you wear. For the more adventurous, you can take a Tuk Tuk ( local three wheelers) and arrive at the old city entry point. Just remember to inform the hotel so that they are ready for you at the gate. You cannot take a car at this entry. If you are there, do acknowledge the very good job the hotel does. Talk to the staff when you can, listen to their life and stories, say your please and thank you's and do not talk on the mobile and gesture arrogantly for refills. While it is a Luxury property, do keep an eye out on their offers and season packages. They are great value for money. Talk to them, and I am sure they will work out something for you because they really believe that Atithi ( Guest) is God!…
We had an excellent experience, every thing was more then perfect. Food, staff, location, cleanliness, hospitality each and every thing was wonderful. Will surely recommend for a life time experience
Amazing experience, a must try one. Right from the entrance at the hotel till dinner guests are pampered. The servers are extremely caring and ensure every detail is looked into. I would highly recommend Yogendra from the Dinning Hall who took great care of us
The service is amazing from each and every staff member. From the minute we arrived at the boat launch to our departure, each staff member was respectful and kind. We had Armann, Abishek, plus many more that made our stay wonderful. The food is excellent and they try to cater all of your needs. Rooms are spacious and clean.
"Royal Resort Best Place for freshness Nice food All Staff are good Good Management very nice breakfast and room clean is very peaceful all staff very helpful and nice , room service for all good, I am happy for this trip “
We loved our stay here so much. The staff are so friendly, the Indian cuisine restaurant is very good with amazing views. Our server was the best (Hersch) he was very kind and polite. This hotel is for sure a splurge but 100% worth it! Also the massage was phenomenal, highly recommend!
Leela Udaipur is the epitome of luxury and hospitality par excellence. From the moment we stepped in & to our departure the team took care of us seamlessly and we were well taken care of to the T. Our experience was nothing short of perfect. Miss Kopal was our butler , the best experience we could have thanks to her service & hospitality. Miss Debosmita , a special thanks to her for making sure we have the best time at the property. Chef Rupak who never failed to surprise us with his amazing culinary skills. It was a gastronomical experience. Yogendra & Harsh at the restaurant , learnt so much about the food and culture from them.
The place offers a great variety of cuisines. We decided to try their Asian cuisine and we don’t regret the decision. Yogendra helped us to choose the dishes from the menu and all the dishes were really good. We ordered the Hazelnut crunch for dessert, which was ok ok. Thank you Yogendran and team for the lovely experience.
The food is excellent, boat ride is wonderful, Propety is gorgeous (architecture and design) close to the water and service is amazing. Special mention to Harsh Gupta for the amazing hospitality. Will surely come back!
