Location The Leela Palace is located in the Diplomatic Encalve of New Delhi. It is near the airport and close to GK Market, Presidential Palace, and Secretariat Building.
Getting there Fly to New Delh’s Indira Gandhi International Airport. The Leela Palace hotel is around a 45-minute drive from the airport and close to all of the major city sites.
When to go The best time to travel to India is between September and March, when the weather is most pleasant. Summer starts in April and by June, it becomes very hot. By July there is the south-west monsoon, which brings heavy rains to the west coast. Although the word "monsoon" often brings to mind images of torrential floods and landslides, it is not a bad time to travel. The downpour tends to come and go quickly, leaving behind a clean, glistening landscape.
