An expression of privilege and experience across The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts

Some relationships deepen with time, and the finest ones are built on the art of being truly known. At The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts, membership is precisely that: an enduring conversation between guest and destination, shaped by attentiveness, continuity, and the quiet assurance that comes from being welcomed as one already belongs.

Across Leela's distinguished portfolio, membership opens doors to a world of privilege, from elevated access to signature dining experiences and curated wellness journeys, to bespoke celebrations conceived with personal intent. Yet what sets our membership apart is not the breadth of its offerings alone, but the seamless thread of recognition that runs through each of them. Preferences are carried forward. Welcomes feel familiar. Each return feels less like a first encounter and more like a natural continuation of something beautifully begun.

In a world that moves swiftly, The Leela premium membership offers its members the rare luxury of feeling genuinely remembered.

Membership programmes at The Leela  

Membership at The Leela is shaped around the ways our guests return, with two distinct pathways that reflect different rhythms of staying and belonging. One is designed for those who travel often and value the familiarity of returning, where each arrival feels recognised, and every stay settles in with quiet assurance. The other is for those who return to share moments, drawn by dining, celebrations, and the simple pleasure of gathering in spaces that feel familiar and welcoming.

In both, membership remains an invitation to remain close to the experiences that matter most.

Leela DISCOVERY 

Leela DISCOVERY connects our guests to a wider world of recognition across destinations through our partnership with Global Hotel Alliance. The program is geared towards patrons who reside with us frequently and seek continuity wherever they go. The Membership program offered by The Leela operates into four distinct tiers — Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Titanium.

As members progress, the luxury membership benefits expand in thoughtful and practical ways. These include room upgrades, flexible arrival and departure times, and enhanced rewards.

Arq by The Leela      

Arq by The Leela introduces a new expression of membership, where design, culture, and conversation come together in an intimate yet expansive setting. Conceived as a series of layered spaces, the club unfolds through curated environments shaped by Indian artistry, from hand-finished stone and intricate metalwork to a thoughtful interplay of light, texture, and colour. Each space carries its own rhythm, whether for quiet reflection, private dining, or meaningful conversations, while bespoke culinary experiences and personalised service ensure that no two visits feel the same. Rooted in craft yet distinctly contemporary, Arq offers an experience defined by depth and quiet sophistication.

The Royal Club 

The Royal Club offers a more private expression of your stay, where every element is arranged to enhance comfort from the moment you arrive. Reserved for guests in Royal Club rooms and suites, it offers familiarity and attention that carries through your time with us. Curated privileges include a dedicated butler service, private check-in and check-out, and access to the Royal Club Lounge, where the atmosphere remains calm and quietly inviting throughout the day.
