Leela Palaces Hotels and Resorts, India’s only pure play luxury hospitality brand, has acquired an ultra-luxury resort in Coorg, Karnataka, marking the brand’s entry into immersive, nature-led and wellness anchored hospitality. The 71 all-villa property, set within 76 acres of lush landscape near Madikeri and surrounded by coffee and spice plantations, will be unveiled as The Leela Coorg Forest Sanctuary later this year.
The acquisition introduces the brand’s first Sanctuary and extends its portfolio into one of South India’s most compelling leisure destinations. Situated in the Western Ghats with proximity to both Bengaluru and Mangaluru, Coorg is distinguished by its rolling coffee estates, mist-laden hills, scenic waterfalls, storied Kodava heritage and consistently high air quality - attributes that underpin enduring premium demand from the discerning global traveller.
With the addition of Coorg, the company’s portfolio now comprises 15 properties with over 4,160 keys across 13 cities globally, including 7 owned, 7 managed and 1 franchised hotel. With 9 hotels in the pipeline, the brand remains on track to expand to 24 properties over the next three years in high growth markets including Agra, Ayodhya, Bandhavgarh, Mumbai, Ranthambore, Sikkim, Srinagar and Jaisalmer.
Leela Palaces Hotels and Resorts (formerly known as Schloss Bangalore) is India’s largest institutionally owned and managed pure-play luxury hospitality brand.
