BEING a world class tourism destination Goa has many aces up its sleeve. The sea, sun, and sand apart, this little state has some of the best hotels and resorts in the country. However one name that stands out amongst the best of the best is definitely The Leela Goa. Host to some of the top dignitaries o the world, (Remember BRICS?) The Leela Goa is known in the circles of the who’s who as the go-to place for much needed R&R. We keep seeing snippets of news, overhearing hushed discussions about political power brokers, world leaders, celebrities, business tycoons etc who discreetly holiday at The Leela Goa – a second home to the stars, kings and kingmakers.
WELCOME TO THE GRAND EXPERIENCE
As you step out of your vehicle, after the long drive navigating through palm fringed villages of South Goa, the striking architecture of the lobby of The Leela Goa, inspired by the 13th century Vijayanagara kingdom, literally takes your breath away. First impressions of the hotel range from grand, opulent to green and serene. Spread across 75 acres, the hotel is built around a confluence of cascading fresh water lagoons, lush tropical plants, and is home to a host of fauna and flora that are a nature enthusiasts dream come true.
