The Magical Leela Palace
The hustle and bustle, noise, pollution, crowds and congestion of living in a city like Bangalore often makes you yearn for solitude and a quiet place to run to. The Leela Palace has for many years been my getaway place in the city. Five minutes by car from my home, you suddenly reach an oasis of tranquility and beauty....the perfect escape of the Magical Leela Palace.
The Leela Palace, with its lush garden and beautiful exterior inspired by the majestic Mysore Palace, transports you to another time and place. You can simply sit for hours and enjoy its beauty, or walk the corridors in their opulence and splendor, viewing the handmade grand Venetian chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, or the paintings of princes and sultans, while you take in the natural fragrance of the fresh cut flowers lining the corridors in cut crystal vases.
