Within seven acres of gardens in central Bengaluru, The Leela Palace takes its architectural cues from the royal palaces of Vijayanagara, with copper domes, carved stone and arcaded courtyards. Rooms and suites use rich fabrics, dark timber and classical Indian detailing, with balconies overlooking the gardens or city. Jamavar, Le Cirque Signature, Zen and Citrus form a substantial restaurant collection, while the spa and outdoor pool sit beside palms and landscaped water features. The palace’s long colonnades and ceremonial lobby remain separated from the surrounding avenues by mature greenery.
