About Terrace
The Space
The Terrace at The Leela Palace New Delhi is an open-air event space that brings a rare sense of grandeur to outdoor entertaining in the capital. Set within one of Delhi's most distinguished luxury hotels, the Terrace offers a sophisticated alfresco setting where the architectural elegance of The Leela Palace forms an arresting backdrop. The space is designed to accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger celebratory events, with the open sky above and the palatial surrounds of the hotel lending every occasion an unmistakable sense of occasion. Whether lit by afternoon light for a daytime reception or illuminated under the evening sky for a formal dinner, the Terrace carries a character that enclosed banquet halls simply cannot replicate.
Events & Occasions
The Terrace is particularly well suited to weddings and social celebrations — cocktail evenings, sangeet ceremonies, mehendi functions, milestone birthday parties, and engagement receptions all find a natural home here. The outdoor setting encourages a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, allowing guests to move freely while still experiencing the understated luxury that The Leela Palace is known for. Corporate clients also find the Terrace appealing for product launches, networking sundowners, and brand activations where an impressive setting is as important as the event itself. The hotel's in-house events team works closely with planners to configure the space with bespoke décor, floral arrangements, custom lighting rigs, and audiovisual setups tailored to each brief. Catering is managed by The Leela Palace's culinary team, whose menus draw on both classic Indian traditions and contemporary international cuisine, ensuring that food and beverage service meets the same standard as the setting.
Location & Accessibility
The Leela Palace New Delhi is located in Chanakyapuri, Delhi's diplomatic enclave, which places it among embassies, tree-lined avenues, and some of the city's most significant institutional landmarks. The area is known for its relative calm compared to central commercial districts, yet it sits within easy reach of Connaught Place, India Gate, and the broader Lutyens' Delhi zone. For guests travelling by Metro, the nearest station on the Airport Express Line and the Yellow Line provide good connectivity to the wider city network. The hotel's position in Chanakyapuri also means that guests arriving from Indira Gandhi International Airport benefit from a comparatively direct route without navigating the denser traffic corridors of inner Delhi. Ample parking is available on the hotel campus, and the property's concierge services can assist with transportation arrangements for larger events where guests are arriving from multiple locations across the city.
