OVERVIEW

The Leela Palace Chennai

The Leela Palace Chennai holds a distinction that no other luxury hotel in the city can claim: it is Chennai's only seafront palace hotel. Its architecture draws from the Chettinad tradition, one of Tamil Nadu's most celebrated design legacies. Multiple dining addresses are present on the property: China XO for Cantonese and Sichuan, Jamavar for contemporary Indian cuisine, Spectra for multicuisine dining and Library Blu for cocktails and conversation.

The Leela Palace Chennai brings together two landmark ballrooms and a suite of supporting event spaces to accommodate weddings. The Grand Ballroom, spanning 12,300 sq ft with a soaring 20-foot ceiling, is the hotel's principal wedding stage. A procession-assembly area on a private road allows uninterrupted baraat arrivals, while a large open terrace is available for the vedi and other outdoor ceremonial requirements.
