The Leela Palace Jaipur

We absolutely loved our stay at Leela Palace Jaipur! The staff are so amazing. The grounds and mountains right next door are pretty and it's just a first-rate place to stay for sure! Beautiful place! Great quality of everything and great standards for Westerners. The other '5 star' hotels we stayed in in Jaipur weren't up to Western standards of 5 star in hygiene and other little things but the Leela Palace certainly is, and I'd rate it even more than a typical 5 star hotel in the Western world. This is more of a palace retreat, also, not just a hotel. We have excellent memories there and I'm still wearing my Leela slippers at home in Australia now hehe, because it reminds me of the beautiful time I had there and the beautiful staff who made things more than excellent for us and really made our stay amazing. Definitely recommend. I do have a tip - go in a 'Grand Villa'. The Palace suite (what it says I stayed in), is gorgeous but the villas are even better and not that much difference in price. We stayed 2 nights at Leela Palace Jaipur and experienced both room types. The photos online on the Leela website are accurate.  We ate at the buffet restaurant, Sukh Mahal. It was nice. The food was hygienic, fancy, and we didn't get sick at all (we did at another 5 star hotel).  It's a fair drive from the city of Jaipur, but I think you'll find that you actually love that. jaipur city area is so hectic and loud with horns and just a bit unpleasant to be in, if you're in culture shock. The Leela Palace is further out and is such a nice break from Jaipur city area. It's perfectly away in the mountain areas. The air is fresher and it's pretty with the mountains. I totally recommend. I also recommend taking the hotel's car, as they actually have seatbelts in all seats and air con and just fancy. We took an Uber to the Leela Palace and that was a huge mistake. Pay the extra for the hotel car! Most of the cars we were in in Jaipur had no seatbelt in the back middle seat, and two other cars didn't have seatbelts in the back at all. Just trust us. Just make sure they take you to the right airport. The driver was great but dropped us off at domestic terminal, which is 3km or so from the international one, and you have to take an Uber to get from each, so please make sure they understand which one (I thought it would be one airport).

Excellent to stay in this hotel.

Definitely one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. From the moment we arrived, our host Tanmay was incredible we were even able to check in early. Every member of the staff was warm and attentive. The service was excellent, the food was great, and the room was beautiful with top-notch amenities. The pool was amazing, and every single detail was thoughtfully taken care of. I highly recommend this hotel a truly exceptional experience.

I love the thoughtfulness put into each room (this is my third stay) like mosquito repellents placed discreetly in rooms, charging stations on both sides of the bed, a discrete night light which won’t shine light into your eyes, bed side rugs & bedroom slippers placed on them ready to slip on … sweet luxuries placed thoughtfully all throughout your stay and non intrusive staff. Love it.

Luxurious is an understatement!! Beautiful is an understatement. We enjoyed every minute we spent at the Leela Jaipur. Dinner at Mohan Mahal was very nice. Front Office folks were little disconnected. Gave them specific information about my existing membership account for GHA/ Discovery, and still they didn’t follow through. Instead of adding the current stay to my existing account, they decided to open a new account under my name at Silver level, when I’m already a Platinum member. I share my information with four people at checkin and check out, they still failed me. Regardless, the Leela is my favorite brand in India, which always delivers the utmost luxury you can imagine.
