The Leela Mumbai - Resort Style Business Hotel

We stayed at the Leela a couple of times during our recent trip to India. Initially, in a standard (city facing) room for four nights, and then again in a club room, prior to flying home.||The hotel is definitely a solid five star, with very good facilities. The pool is an oasis of calm, with plenty of sunbeds, and we were well looked after by the staff there. The gym is also very well equipped, with modern equipment, and spotlessly clean.||The rooms themselves are incredibly well equipped, with everything you could possibly need and more. The bed was amazingly comfortable and housekeeping did a fabulous job. The only thing that wasn’t in the room was an iron/ironing board, but you could request one be bought up.||I thought the corridor was looking a little tired in places. There was an odd smell as you exit the lift on floor four and the carpets looked a bit past their best, but this is an older hotel.||We ate in one of their restaurants called Jasmine one night which was a little underwhelming. The food was very tasty, but the wine was very expensive, even for a hotel. We paid 5k INR an Indian white. It was just missing a little wow or ambience. Having dinned at an exceptional hotel restaurant (Avartana @ ITC Maratha) the evening prior, it was a little disappointing in comparison. Maybe we just picked the wrong one.||The staff are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. Very professional at all time.||Their airport pick is really good. We used it both times. Super efficient. Yes, you can get an Uber for less, but the airport team made it SO easy after a long flight. ||My club room was identical size/layout to my standard room – however, you get various club benefits, including access to the club lounge. This is a great space, with very attentive staff. If you have a club room, you also get your airport transfers included. They did an afternoon tea, which was okay, but the free drinks and canapés in the evening (from 6 pm to 8 pm) were very good.||Overall, a good hotel. Perfect for a few nights in the city.

I stayed here one night from 17th-18th October, 2025. It’s just a kilometre walk from the airport making it a perfect choice for business travellers looking for a comfortable one night stay in case they have flight layovers or just a quick business to do in the main city and leave the next day. I MUST CLARIFY ONE THING, THIS ISNT THEIR PALACE VARIANT. It’s a business hotel that’s designed really well from inside to give it a luxury feel. Here’s my experience:- 1. The staff hospitality is the highlight of the hotel. Right from doorman to the receptionists to the room service guys, they were just excellent. The receptionist even went one step forward and helped me with some cash so I didn’t have to stop at an ATM (Of course just to be clear he included that amount in my bill ). 2. Interior decors in the lobby area were fabulous be it the chandelier area or the fountain . 3. Breakfast was pretty amazing with their pastry taste being the best . 4. Very nice car service to the airport 5. Swimming pool area is quite big and nice place to chill . NEGATIVES:- 1. Fix your “THE LEELA” board on top of the hotel it’s so hilariously embarrassing when at night , only the T, H , E and L glow up to show “THE L” from far off. 2. I wasn’t particularly impressed with my room (232). I took a smoking room but atleast when a new guest comes in, the room shouldn’t smell of smoke like someone just smoked a few minutes back . The room seemed to have been renovated but there were still signs of age here and there especially if I pointed out the switches for room cleaning or DND. 3. Although the breakfast was pretty good, I just don’t like the fact that such expensive hotels serve machine tea/coffee. 4. This might be a controversial point but I hate walking through that one area of the hotel where all the back end stuff is done just to collect my online food order . I feel that side of the hotel can be used as an easy access to the metro station but I only didn’t like walking through that area because it’s that one part of the hotel you want to keep hidden from guests . Overall, a pretty good one night stay and i believe most of you can ignore certain points I made in the negative section and safely choose this hotel if you are looking for options close the airport

Simply Outstanding – My Go-To Hotel in Mumbai This was my sixth business stay at The Leela Mumbai, and once again, it was an excellent experience. The hotel maintains exceptional cleanliness, impeccable service, and a truly professional atmosphere. The staff are always attentive and courteous without being intrusive – you can really feel that genuine hospitality is part of the hotel’s culture. The rooms are spacious, elegant, and very quiet – ideal for both relaxing after a long workday and preparing for business meetings. Breakfast and dining options are outstanding, offering great variety and quality. For me, The Leela Mumbai is without question the top address in the city for business travelers. Always a pleasure to return!

We stayed at The Leela Palace near Mumbai Airport from 16.07 to 18.07 and had a truly wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding — the team was always attentive to our requests and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They accommodated an early check-in without any hassle, which was a huge relief after our journey. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, with a wide variety of delicious options and impeccable presentation. Every staff member we met was helpful, supportive, and genuinely warm, making our stay both comfortable and memorable. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Mumbai. Highly recommended!

Amazing hotel, great rooms, service was great the staff are always available to help and deal with any requests. The hotel car will have you at the airport in around 10 mins. I would always look to stay at the Leela everytime I am in Mumbai.

Had wonderful experience all the team members did a great work. Hars off to the front desk team and Ird team. Really hard off to each and everyone for making our dinner outstanding and remarkable. Even being a non resident guest everyone treated as their own guest. |Keep on doing it really all the best for each and everyone

Ambiance is good. Staff is hospitable. However the food is overpriced for the quality and variety as compared to any other 5 star + hotels. Breakfast and lunch buffet were good. However the food ordered in private dining was way below good quality bar. Tried giving the feedback and could not find appropriate forum to share while in the hotel.
