The Senate is a dedicated event and meeting space within The Leela Ashtamudi, A Raviz Hotel — a resort property set on the banks of Ashtamudi Lake in Thevally, Kollam, Kerala. The room carries the understated elegance that defines The Leela brand, combining contemporary interiors with the warmth of Kerala's natural surroundings just beyond its walls. Designed to feel purposeful rather than ornamental, the space is fitted for gatherings that demand focus, discretion, and a polished environment — making it a natural choice for corporate meetings, board sessions, private discussions, and small-format conferences. Its name alone signals a chamber-style character: a setting where decisions get made and conversations carry weight.
The Senate's interior setup supports a professional atmosphere with modern audiovisual infrastructure and configurable seating arrangements to suit different meeting formats — from boardroom-style to classroom or theatre configurations depending on the nature of the event. The resort's events team manages the logistical details, allowing organisers to concentrate on the programme rather than the setup. Natural light and the resort's broader aesthetic sensibility lend the space a quality that pure city-hotel conference rooms rarely replicate — a balance of functionality and calm.
While The Senate is ideally suited to corporate formats — strategy sessions, leadership meetings, training workshops, and off-site team gatherings — the resort's broader event infrastructure means planners have the flexibility to think creatively about how the space is used. Smaller private celebrations, family gatherings, or pre-function meetings that pair with larger events held across the resort's other venues are equally at home here. The Leela Ashtamudi's location along Ashtamudi Lake makes it a popular destination for multi-day corporate retreats where delegates can combine productive meeting sessions in The Senate with leisure experiences the backwaters of Kerala are celebrated for — houseboat excursions, Ayurvedic wellness programmes, and cuisine rooted in the coastal Keralan tradition.
The resort positions itself as a venue for events that benefit from a sense of place, and The Senate plays a specific role in that offering: providing a quiet, well-equipped indoor space that anchors a larger event experience without demanding the property's grandest halls.
The Leela Ashtamudi sits in Thevally, Kollam — a city in southern Kerala with rail connectivity through Kollam Junction, one of the major stations on the Kerala Rail network. The resort's lakeside setting places guests immediately within one of the most scenic backwater destinations in the state, distinct from the more frequented tourist circuits of Alleppey and Kochi yet equally immersed in the character of Kerala's inland waterways. For delegates travelling from further afield, Trivandrum International Airport is the closest major airport serving the region, with Kollam reachable by road or rail from there. The combination of accessible transport links and a genuinely immersive natural setting makes The Senate — and the resort around it — a compelling choice for organisations looking to take their teams out of the city without sacrificing professional infrastructure.

The Senate is primarily designed for corporate events such as board meetings, strategy sessions, training workshops, and leadership off-sites. Its chamber-style character and professional setup also make it appropriate for private gatherings or pre-function meetings that accompany larger events held across the resort. For specific event-type approvals, it is best to confirm directly with the resort's events team.
Exact capacity figures for The Senate depend on the seating configuration chosen — boardroom, classroom, theatre, and other arrangements each yield different numbers. Prospective guests should contact the events team at The Leela Ashtamudi directly to receive confirmed capacity details for their preferred setup.
The Senate is equipped with modern audiovisual infrastructure to support presentations, video conferencing, and corporate meeting formats. The specific inventory of equipment — screens, projectors, microphones, and connectivity options — should be confirmed with the resort's events coordinator when making an enquiry.
Yes, The Senate supports configurable seating arrangements to suit the nature of each event, including boardroom, classroom, and theatre-style setups. The resort's events team manages the setup process, so organisers are encouraged to specify their preferred configuration when submitting an enquiry.
The Leela Ashtamudi's location on the banks of Ashtamudi Lake makes it particularly well suited to multi-day corporate retreats where The Senate provides the professional meeting anchor and the resort's broader offering — including backwater experiences, Ayurvedic wellness programmes, and Kerala-inspired cuisine — caters to the leisure component. This balance of productivity and place is one of the space's most distinctive advantages over city-hotel conference rooms.
Guests using The Senate for a corporate retreat or extended event can access the resort's leisure offerings, which include the backwater environment of Ashtamudi Lake, Ayurvedic wellness programmes, and cuisine rooted in the coastal Keralan tradition. Specific available activities and amenities should be confirmed with the resort at the time of booking.
The resort is situated in Thevally, Kollam, in southern Kerala, on the banks of Ashtamudi Lake. Kollam Junction, a major station on the Kerala Rail network, provides rail access to the area, and Trivandrum International Airport is the closest major airport for those travelling by air, with Kollam reachable from there by road or rail.
Trivandrum International Airport is the nearest major airport to the resort, and Kollam is reachable from Thiruvananthapuram by road or rail. The precise travel time and distance depend on the route and mode of transport chosen, so guests are advised to confirm transfer arrangements with the resort prior to arrival.
The Leela Ashtamudi is a resort property with guest rooms and suites, making on-site accommodation available for delegates attending multi-day events or retreats based around The Senate. Room availability and group booking rates should be discussed with the reservations or events team directly.
As a full-service Leela resort, the property has its own food and beverage operations, which typically support events held within the venue. Specific menus, dietary accommodations, and catering packages for Senate events should be coordinated with the resort's events team during the planning process.
The Senate's chamber-style character and positioning within the resort are designed to offer a focused, professional environment — qualities that make it well suited for confidential board sessions, leadership discussions, and other gatherings that benefit from discretion and calm. Its lakeside resort context adds a natural tranquility that distinguishes it from urban conference facilities.
The Leela Ashtamudi has multiple event spaces, and The Senate can function as part of a broader event programme — for example, hosting breakout sessions or pre-function meetings while a main event takes place in one of the resort's larger venues. The events team can advise on how best to coordinate multiple spaces across a single programme.
Interested organisers can submit an enquiry through The Leela's official website or contact the resort's events team directly to check availability and receive a tailored quote. Providing details about the event date, format, expected number of attendees, and any special requirements will help the team respond with an accurate proposal.
Kollam is well connected by rail through Kollam Junction, which sits on the Kerala Rail network and links the city to major hubs including Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi. For outstation delegates, Trivandrum International Airport handles both domestic and international flights, making the resort reachable for attendees coming from across India and abroad.
The Senate offers the professional infrastructure expected of a Leela venue — configurable seating, modern AV equipment, and a managed events service — while being set within a resort on the shores of Ashtamudi Lake in Kerala's backwater country. That combination of functional meeting space and immersive natural surroundings gives delegates an experience that city-based conference facilities cannot replicate, making it especially effective for retreats and off-site programmes where environment matters as much as logistics.
