AN AMALGAMATION OF SERVICE AND DHARMA

One of the most formidable legacy brands within the hospitality domain in India, The Leela builds upon its traditions and core values, well poised to embrace the next new phase in its growth trajectory. Across The Leela properties in India and at The Leela Palace Bengaluru, they have practiced the eight 'Leela Dharmas'. A doctrine of duties and simple virtues which are to be followed by each individual associate. "Derived from the deep-rooted Indian tradition of hospitality 'Atithi Devo Bhava' (Guest is God as translated from Taittiriya Upanishad), these Dharmas stand for what they firmly believe in. These are a doctrine of duties and simple virtues which are to be followed by each individual associate, principles that orient their associates and form the foundation of our code of conduct -towards each other and with their most cherished heritage, their guests," explains Madhav Sehgal, General Manager, The Leela Palace Bengaluru.

CURATING MEMORIES THROUGH ITS ARCHITECTURE

The Leela Palace Bengaluru brings to life everything that they love about the garden city, from the architecture to the lush green gardens, amazing culinary experiences and most importantly, its people. The hotel features décor reflecting the grandeur of the bygone era.

There are multiple design elements in place at all The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts. The interior design elements to the factor that every hotel and resort is dedicated towards an inspiration driven from its environment and historical spaces, they are a successful marriage of traditional Indian flair and modern appointments.
