    I just had Indian quests visiting Finland and Lappland. They loved it. As si would love visting India, where never been. I believe your forecast for high class torism to India will blossom in the years to come.

    Great hotel plus great video. I’m glad many top Indian hotels are uniquely ‘Indian’ in its architecture, interior design, food, lush green setting and landscaping and hospitality. I’ve been to India more than ten times in my younger days but yet to stay in one of these fabulous iconic hotels. I hope one day. Thanks again.

    Hi Just one correction Nilgiri is not the flower that blooms once it 12 years but its a different tree, the oil from nilgiri is used for aches and is very good, it refreshes well but has a pretty strong fragrance. Normally you might know its name as Eucalyptus, Kurinji is the plant whose flowers bloom once in 12 years. you were spot on when you said Breakfast at Oberoi is better, specially their masala dosa for breakfast :)

    • @tfft
      @tfft  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes someone else mentioned it. When I was researching I saw info pointing towards both eucalyptus and the 12 year flower… since the soap smelled absolutely nothing like eucalyptus, I assumed it was the other one. Learn something nee everyday 😉

    I just came across this and felt so nostalgic. I grew up as an child of expatriates in this town when the hotel opened and we loved the buffet dinners and the beautiful lobby. I couldn't believe how not much has changed, but nothing felt dated when seeing this review. I will look forward to the day I return to India, cause if I come back to Bangalore, I would instantly demand to be booked here. 🎉

    I enjoy your videos Kevin! I have just watched this one as I had been to India recently for 5 weeks! Bengaluru will be a place I go back to visit one day! A question for you - would you consider including filming of the gym facilities that you stay in as part of your content? Personally, I base my hotel option/s on ensuring they have a great gym facility too.

    • @tfft
      @tfft  ปีที่แล้ว

      Generally (probably around 80% of the time) I do include gym clips in my videos, but only when it wouldn’t make other guests feel uncomfortable. Usually I’ll scope it out three times for an empty room before giving up. Thanks for watching 🩴

      Feel compelled to chime in here. Many hotels in India have switched to their own RO purified drinking water served in sealed glass bottles (like Shunya Aqua by ITC). While I agree with Kevin that glass bottles water isn't as readily available a plastic, there are many brands like Veen, Himalayan (by Tata), Aava which come in glass bottles. The reason for going with plastic bottles is just cost/convenience and nothing else. So yeah, you should absolutely dock points for plastic bottles.

    Fact is that if u spend the same money in Dubai or Bangkok u gonna get a 10times better deal. I have stayed at few good hotels in my lifetime. Personally anantara Abu Dhabi eastern mangroves is the best I felt. Simply saying their breakfast is 10times better than this one. The fact is that in India luxury is overpriced. Because the same stuff that u ate there would taste 5 times better and cost 70% less if u know where to eat. Basically u got robbed. Only u can say I was at Leela. Did u get the best food. Na. Did u have bragging rights. Ya.

    Beautifully photographed - you've really highlighted much of the detail that a passing traveler would have missed. I agree with you that India will rise over the next decade as a new upmarket travel destination. The transportation infrastructure is already in place. Marketing and high end leisure activities need to follow.

    I stayed at Leela Palace Bangalore for around 15 days last year. Really spectacular hotel! Agree with all the points you made in the video. I do agree the breakfast could be a little better but the service was amazing! Since I stayed for a long period the staff would greet me by name, and often have what I usually order ready for me. If I was getting late they would be kind enough to pack my coffee too. I really dont find this level of service anywhere else!

    I have to say, given that hotels in India are generally not very expensive, on a trip to Bengaluru I absolutely wouldn't hesitate to spend $360 on a place like this for even just one night. I spent only $150 less on a chain hotel in Denver, Colorado.

    - why 4 months delay in uploading the India trip videos
    - are you planning any subscriber meet when you visit India next
    - Is this the highest ever hotel rating (98/100) which you ever gave to any property
    - when are we going to see your face 😊

    wow, this hotel has a modern design but can still give a traditional feel, and get a sense of traditional depth but doesn't look old and out of date... even in my opinion, when compared to the Sofitel Legend Metropole in Hanoi, the feel of this hotel is still far superior in terms of in terms of local traditional taste although sofitel hanoi is also good.... yep this hotel is now the best I've seen on your TH-cam channel so far..😳

    Kudos to you for the research into surfacing the little details, like the ingredients that went into Tishya toiletries. Just wanted to mention Nilgiri is actually Eucalyptus, whose essential oils are a key element of many premium toiletries. The flower the blooms once in twelve years is Neelkurinji which has no fragrance. Just a minor correction - taking nothing away from your spectacular work.

    • @tfft

      Interesting. When I was researching it I do remember some materials referring eucalyptus, but now- I’m not sure why I went with the 12 year bloom narrative… possibly just bc it doesn’t smell anything like eucalyptus to me. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
