Surprised you get questions about upload speed and live narration….I don’t think people realise how much work goes into this quality content, that is exactly what sets your channel apart from all others…. You know you get a beautifully filmed, detailed review, that is honest and unbiased…. All one could wish for when looking for information, or just wanting to enjoy the content. Thank you for your great work!
Yeah- actually I’m envious of creators that can turn out their videos in a month or less… but then I remember nearly everyone else only posts once per week haha. Thanks as always for the support 🙏🏻
I came here to say the same thing. Imagine you doing a walking tour of the lobby as you check in, with 100’s of people around you, and hoping the upload speeds can render a decent HD feed instead of 4K. No thanks
Don't know Why The RU-vid algorithm Not Promoting this type of quality content to the Indian Audience, instead of cringe content... Compare to the number of Indian Audience,the viewership of the videos are very much low... LOVE FROM INDIA🇮🇳🇮🇳
Your last Leela Bangalore video was a gem to watch! This episode however is gem to watch in addition excellent selection of background music. At least for me it put me in kind of trance and focus! Great work!
Thanks for the video Kevin. I started to watch your videos from the Taj Palace ones. I am a native from Chennai and have lived my entire life here. I have never set foot inside the Leela Palace. Thanks for showing how it looks and feels. I will keep watching your channel.
Leela Chennai had issues when they were opening, because they hadn't gotten the proper approvals from some agencies, including the coast guard or navy. Something about being too close to a beach in that area. They had to make some changes to the final layout of the grounds or something.
You really are way more experienced than I thought! As a resident of Chennai, I have been to spectra at Leela Chennai multiple times for all three meals but haven't noticed what you mentioned here @16:54. Now that you mentioned it, when I think back, I feel what you said is correct!
totally amazing blogs kevin never miss an episode brillliant with changing flights and hotels so frequently how about a run down on your luggage carry on or more thanx lee
Looks like some scrumptious food spreads out there ( made my mouth water 😃) in this hotel property tucked away in a sea facing corner of bustling Chennai.
Your reviews are remarkable, thanks Kevin for your fair well balance observations. Hoping to see a review from Eastern Island - Islas Malvinas - Machu Pichu - El Calafate - Lukla in 2024 :)
The JW in Cusco is one of my all time favorite Marriott Properties. I’m planning another South America trip hopefully in winter ‘24. Thanks as always for your support 🙏🏻
Hi Kevin. Thanks for the amazing content you've been working hard and sharing. Would like to recommend a hotel worth reviewing in India - ITC Maurya in New Delhi. And also awaiting your review of Qantas airlines along with some of Australian hotels in Melbourne and Sydney.
This year will just have a very quick ‘taste’ of Australia with more coming next year if it does well. The flight scheduling gods just didn’t have a lot of AUS in the mix this year! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
hotels of india are amomg the best hotels of the world, whether leela, taj, oberoi, ITC. Instead of dubai or paris, people from all around the world should come to india for great indian hospitality and culture.
Great content .... really great. I have been involved with the devleop of a number of the properties and Obeori, Taj and Leela and they are all very special properties. A very fair review..... sorry to say it is not "crips" but papad ......
Always a delight when you drop a new video. Really look forward to watching the next round of Thailand hotel videos. Maybe you should try covering other budget brands like Grande Centre Point too, like you did with Hansar. Would like you see what you think about such hotels.
I actually filmed for a #short about GC Ratchadamri which is my goto hotel in bkk when I’m not filming. Just need to find time to start making the shorts haha.
@@tfft oh nice. I have stayed at GCP terminal 21 and had the choice for Ratchadamri this time but selected terminal 21 again. I'll try to give it a shot next time, but I'm aiming for park Hyatt or okura prestige.
Leela Palace bangalore has been a lil extra since day 1, but there is a Leela property that put even Bangalore one to shame....The Leela Palace Udaipur.......I guess you know where to go the next India trip
As always, the review brought both expert commentary and fairness (maybe even a touch of generosity) in its scoring. For me, I would find it unacceptable that a luxury hotel with international aspirations would require guests to use the telephone to get real coffee in their rooms. And then not getting it is something else.
Another great review. Liked your reasoning for the review presentation, please do not change. One of your competitors sadly to say is now doing instant airline, hotel and lounge reviews, not the best idea I think to cross the Atlantic 4 times in 3 days just to report back to viewers. Small issue with latest event space became even space in text. Maybe use Chyron to describe compensation options.
@@tfft Only that some of your competition does more instant and not reflective reviews of airlines or hotels. For example, fly 2 rt over the Atlantic including trip to Egypt with only a total of 3 nights of hotel stays, all at airports, can not generate thoughtful and honest airline nor hotel service reviews. Only my 5 cents. Keep up the great work.
Looking at your reviews, I would have loved it if you went and gave reviews of places like Oberoi Udayvillas or Umaid Bhawan Palace. Those are places which cannot be seen anywhere else in the world owing to the fact that they were actual palaces used by the royal family, some still are.
The Bengaluru property is the chain’s flagship property - Chennai came up much later and this property was going to be sold even back in 2013 as the Leela group was cash-constrained. It’s location in the city is always going to be a big negative.
Please dont leave india without reviewing Hotel Oberoi Udayvilas at Udaipur and Hotel Taj has also property at Same city udaipur i am forgetting its name but must checkout
Thankfully, they still have the cushion dents. By now I image some kind of Indian-dressed pillow warrior going from room to room, giving karate chops to every cushion in sight, while shouting yee-ha!
A beautiful hotel that also suffers from ‘misleading marketing’, is so common even when they have a first rate property. You can remind them but will get nowhere. It’s so common in India, unfortunately. Another common thing about most of such premier hotels is that they lack souls. Taj group does slightly better in that feeling , tho. Thanks
Out of curiousity i just want to understand what job or businees do you do that you are able to pay for such costly hotels so regulary which middleclass people only dream to visit about in lifetime😂❤😊
I think the review is fair and just .. but do you know the sewage and water supply and some electricity is not provided by the govt.. they take out truck loads of waste water to dump else where ..some floors were illegally built initially but that should not put down a visitor ... Thier food courses are famous for marriages luxury style..
Overall, not impressed. This hotel is $275 a night? Not sure, if I would spend that much in India. I mean India is a very inexpensive travel destination. Is there value here? Which is something that your videos do not touch upon. To me, this property is obviously meant for business travellers, who expense the cost. For a tourist, I think $300/night is out of line for what India means to most tourists. Although, the buffet breakfast looks very nice.
My videos don’t touch on value? Every score on the channel is relative to the price I paid and how that price fits into the local competition. Value is my first consideration.
@@tfft Maybe it is the hospitality industry as a whole. They all seem that they are making up revenue from their closed pandemic periods. In my mind, when a hotel that normally charged $150 is now over $300, it is corporate greed, not inflation. Many, many travel suppliers are losing the good will that they created over the last 20 years, thru greedy pricing. The travel surge will end, if it isn't over now.
It seems like you are an ambassador to the Bangalore Leela Palace. You should be presenting both in their own way. You keep excelled Bangalore most of the time. Your video is biased about Chennai. Not impressed 👎🏿
