Leela Palace in New Delhi now open

MUMBIA, India - The Leela Palace Kempinski New Delhi, a cover feature on Romance Travel, left, opened in late January 2011 featuring four restaurants, a roof-top infinity pool, a whiskey and wine bar, a tea lounge and the country's second ESPA.

The luxury hotel is near the Presidential Palace, the Prime Minister's office, a number of embassies, the central business district and many historical monuments.


Guests can dine on regional Indian specialties at Jamavar or opt for Japanese at Megu, its first outpost in India.

Designed like a glass house, Qube serves international cuisine. At its “show kitchen,” chefs cook wok-fried specialties, pizza and steak.

The Tea Lounge serves continental breakfast at 5:30 AM for early departures and a proper English afternoon tea.

At the roof-top Italian restaurant, left, guests can dine at another “show kitchen,” while chefs prepare antipasto, handmade pasta and pizza.


The ESPA designed by Jeffrey Wilkes is a combination of natural wood, hand-carved indigenous stone and Indian tussah silk.

Indian rosewood lines the walls, the floors are laid with white Pokarna granite and ceilings are carved white Makarana marble and hand-embellished with silver leaf. The palette of purple and chartreuse has its origins in India’s ancient art of hearing, Ayurveda.

Amethyst and sulphur are at opposite ends of the color wheel – yet create energy when placed together – and both have healing properties. Amethyst is believed to have the power to focus energy while sulphur removes negative energies.


The 6,500-square-foot spa is on two-levels with a café, a fitness center with Technogym equipment, separate relaxation areas for men and women, changing rooms and sauna and steam rooms on the first floor.

Seven treatment rooms, a spa suite for couples, a relaxation room for women and the “finishing studio” are found on the second floor. Prices for treatments start at about US$43 (1,950 Indian rupees).
