The 200 lavishly appointed rooms suites and villas include 88 “uber luxe” villas including villas with private plunge pools that are the largest in the city. The Villas offer a true Leela Palace experience defined by the signature intuitive Palace Service, thoughtfully curated and delivered by the Palace Butlers, according to Leela’s press release.
