The Leela Palace Hotel

This is the garden inside the Leela Palace Hotel. It's probably Bangalore's most exclusive hotel and is just over the road from our apartment.
Although construction on it only started in 1997 (and seems to still be going on in some places) it has an old colonial feel and is very very nice. So nice in fact, that Leanne comes every Thursday morning for morning tea with Bangalore's women's expat group. It seems to be a good place to come when the streets of Bangalore get too much.
