A Hotel on a League of its Own!

This place is truly a palace and they treat their guests like royalty. The service is exceptional and nothing like what I have experienced in my recent travels to 12 other Asian countries. Honestly, I can't sing enough praises about the Leela Palace. In particular, I would like to mention the front desk manager, Mr Ansul Sanwal, he really went out of his way to connect with us and make us feel very welcome and special. We will definitely be back and I will sing its praises to anyone I meet! Thank you!!
