$400 Luxury Hotel India 🇮🇳 | Leela Palace
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 07. 2024
- Well, it was time to upgrade my airbnb and I decided at staying at one of the finest hotels in Chennai, Leela Palace.
Now I am getting towards the end of my journeys for this India trip so I decided to go ahead and go big!!! I got a $400 dollar room, but luckily I booked it with my AMEX card and I was able to upgrade two more levels to this beautiful sea view room.
This room was equipped with so many cool and fun features, but I think the bathroom had to be the best features of the room. Well besides what also seemed like an endless array of cookies being brought to my room.
After checking into the room, I actually upgraded to the "Royal Program" if I remember the name correctly and it was about Rs7000 extra each day, but this gave me access to many more things like tea time, cocktail hour, and a ride in a BMW to the airport.
So this was one of the best tea times I have been to. With a bakery on location, the difference and excellent breads had me wanting to come back for this tea time, time and time again.
Of course I came back for some drinks and to continue hanging out with the staff. This was some of the youngest and coolest staff I have had in a hotel yet and I enjoyed learning about each and every one of them and their home towns, languages and cultures.
With a lot of fine dining on site, I was recommended to go to Jamavar so I gave it a shot. This multiple course menu was fun but the highlights had to be the daal makhni!!!

Max is the only person who eats street food and 5 star hotel food with exact same excitement 🤟🏼
True
@@haroldgodwinsonii8392 bruh you don't even know the correct spelling of national and blaming him lol
@@Karan-iy8xx exactly 😂😂😂
@@Karan-iy8xx Harold is offending you but your 🧠 is too pea sized to realize that
Max is not the only one. He is in a new country . New to street as well as expensive food
While everyone was eating with knives and forks, Max was the only to eat all that with hands. This explains how much more westerners love our culture and tradition than compared to us who think it's filthy to eat with hands. Max, really appreciate how well you have portrayed India. Much love🙏🙏
He is more concerned about such comments and views my friend.. do not get too emotional.. he is doing his business..m not saying thats bad..its good that India is visited by foreigners..but dont get too emotional and excited🤦♂️
@@VP-qg4uy somewhat you are right that he is doing his job but that doesn't mean he is faking everything it's not like eating with hands is a taboo for westerners and they had to do it just for show and he seems like a genuine person who is not faking things like in a corporation Infact living his life with fun..
Personally somethings make sense to eat with hands. Some other things, fork, knife would be better. You wouldn't see anyone eating BBQ with a fork, knife?
Luckily Max doesn't represent Westerners in general.
The fact that he eats with his hands like on the street disrespects the fancy restaurant. Just because it's Indian food doesn't mean you have to eat with it at all costs!
Forks and knives are useful and are there for that.
But Max does what he wants if he likes his food better like that. I'm French in a stuffy place like this I would have eaten with a fork and a knife out of respect for the chef.
@I Claudius I ate on the street when I was in India in June in New Dehli, Pushar, Jaipur...(you can see my little vlogs on my youtube channel) we don't have much choice most of the time we eat with fingers or a spoon. I was talking about doing it in a classy restaurant but that's nothing.
I love your vlogs!
At this point I feel like you know India more than me, and I'm an Indian 😂 the fact that you know when something is overpriced and rightly priced is so impressive.
It's not overpriced. When You see the value , the prices are as per justified. I hope you understand their brand value .
@@mindrentedkota2531 I meant in general, like when he goes to the local markets or while getting an auto. And as far as luxury hotels are considered, of course it's the brand value, and maintenance and attention to finer details.
@@drak98lol lil kid
@@drak98hi lil kid
@@nuclear9977 the one who is behaving like a kid here is you
I'm glad you met chuba & cared to mention her. She introduced herself as a North-eastern, then Nagaland. I hope you visit the North-eastern part of India too & experience the rich diversity of Indian culture & food ofcourse! ❤
23:14 Northeast India consists of seven sister states namely Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura. (Also, Sikkim is casually referred as their brother)
We love how you interact with the hotel staff, Max. I'm sure they appreciate your friendliness.
They are awesome people!
Bcz you are awesome bro. Plz visit Bihar in India and try here the famous food Litti chokha. You will say wow after eating this.
Please visit haridwar ,kashi,ayodhya ,vanarash,kedarnath , Mathura ,Brindaban, char dham INDIA🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏🙏
@@dailymax24 Please visit haridwar ,kashi,ayodhya ,vanarash,kedarnath , Mathura ,Brindaban, char dham INDIA🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏🙏
@@dailymax24 You should visit the Hornbill festival in Nagaland
Dude, you are the only foreigner I have seen who is able to properly eat Indian food with hands. Thanks for doing justice to our cuisine. Hope you enjoy your stay.
India is so huge ((in terms of culture)) that you need 5 trips minimum (of 1-2 months) to experience half of it!
Haha maybe like a third 😂
@@dailymax24 how about a quarter of it
Man.....how do you do this....this video made me book tickets to India....I feel nostalgic looking at all this north Indian food! Missing home!!! Surprisingly how food connects us to our roots 😍
Bro just imagine even we Indians does not eat with hands in a 5 star hotel but a foreigner is eating the biryani with hands in a 5 star hotel I appreciate you max 🙏
I don't think its bad cuz we eat every day with hand. Some time or some deshes need to spot but i dont like using other thing in food.
@@visible-xk9cq its our tradition ik theres not anything bad about eating with hands
Your behavior with the people of India and with the hotel staff is wonderful and lovely. Maybe someone else does it like this, I respect and appreciate you a lot..
The staff at this hotel were so exceptionally kind, polite and respectful! I’m sure they work long hours and probably don’t make so much in earnings yet they still go above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience for their guests! Great video Max☺️👌
You’re right, Indian hospitality have different standards as compared to any other country also they are paid really low and the working hours have no limit usually around 12 hours and can be extended with no advance notice.
@@anubhav6200 that is why as a foreigner I like to always tip and reward these honest hard working people. In Canada it is mandatory to tip service staff yet the service is mediocre at its best! Staff are often rude, disrespectful and I’m lucky to even see them smile! Indian hospitality is unmatchable!
@@Busybeeee but the tip you guys give is more often taken away by manager or the owner.
@@auroraabagel6168 thats is so sad 😢
@@Busybeeee next time if you actually want to tip the waiter or bell boy etc tip online in their bank a/c. Or maybe raise your voice and ask manager about it, since they can't ask because they can get fired if asked anything, but customer can always ask.
That spoon of halwa, even before you took a bite, I knew it would feel like heaven. There is nothing like a mix of roast semolina + a generous amount of ghee + a few bits of dry fruits - it just blows my mind.
As a Chennai guy I can say that here Tea here is ok-ish not like Varanasi, Lucknow etc.. But we are big in Filter Coffee. The best in India.
Exactly. I loved my filter coffee times back Chennai.
Oh yes Chennai is famous for its filtered coffee. When u visited chennai I had plenty of it
You are wrong
It's the best in the World
The way you were so excited kept me smiling throughout the whole video .looks like you genuinely enjoyed the experience. Your so natural Max 💌
I am just addicted to his videos man .. the way he reacts when he eat and his gesture towards people ..
I hope u liked being here
Your India vlogs made me travel to India for the first time! And I found myself in Chennai in the Leela palace 2 weeks ago! What a coincidence. Their breakfast buffet will blow your mind
It's such a convenient coincidence that you met Chuba (the waitress from Nagaland) on Dec 1 (or that you uploaded on Dec 1) because December 1 is the statehood day of Nagaland and the beginning of the Hornbill Festival in Nagaland.
If you were to visit Nagaland, the first week of December is the best time to visit. Food, cultural shows, music all on display. Hope you do visit one day regardless.
You have Instagram?
Man! This hotel’s staff is so friendly and hospitable. Professionalism to the core! ☺️
I am just addicted to your videos man, pure raw content. 💖💖💖
Bro- you really know a lot about Indian culture it seems. I live in Tampa, FL and have few friends there whom i always try to convince to go visit India. It’s so cool you trying spicy street foods on your own and being so cool about that. I hope you don’t have too many bad experiences out here. Stay safe, peace and love to you!!
Fabulous Max!! You are exploring everything, great narration with humbleness, patience.... Have a lovely stay in India!!
I loved my two weeks in Chennai. I’m happy to see you enjoy the people and the food as much as I did. I love how you interact with the staff. My greatest joy was the people I met and everything I learned from them. Thanks for an amazing video ❤
It was such a joy watching your passion for Indian food. Also, the way you interact with the staff so politely was really nice. You are such a good person. Always so polite and respectful 😊
Thanks so much!
The thing I learned from your videos is how you eat every meal with mindfulness, maybe because they are new to you, but we forget how delicious food we eat every day which we don't appreciate bc we get used to it. Thanks for making me remember. Love your videos.
At this point, I just feel like, Max knows more about India than I do.
Edit: I'd love to know more about your Credit Card company.
It's an American express card you get the FH bundle with it!
@@devynkumar1997 thank you kind sir.
@@devynkumar1997 do you know which type of credit card ?
are bhai aap rawknee ke dost ho na?
@@Arpit04861 yes sir.
Max you are just amazing.... Ur vlogs are just refreshing n full of joy n honestly. U just rock the way u communicate. Loved it.... love from Delhi
I could see your excitement with the food menu.... Its indeed a luxurious hotel... Your energy is contagious...
The way you keep the vlogs real makes it the best!
I have watched almost all of your videos and I really loved your humbleness, the way you treat the food. Also loved Chris's Hindi. Since I have seen many foreigner's vlog I can clearly see how good you people are when you mingle with local people and enjoy every moment mostly with Strangers :)
I love his simplicity .He is very friendly and compassionate.
The view literally amazed me. What a perfect room. It was jaw dropping, very beautiful view
I really love watching your eventful journey in India ♥️

I usually don't watch CZcams vlogs, i skip to the main content, but your vlog just made me curious to know what will happen next, what experience you'll get at the hotel.
Loved the way you enjoyed your meals and were grateful for the same, your polite behaviour has been the best part of your journey. Great going Maxi 👍❤️
I respect max bcz video making needs lot of hard work...max is example of that perfect work

Great Hospitality by the hotel management. Good work Max.

Looking forward to see you visiting Bengaluru and exploring it in your way 😉

I fall in love with this place since my birthday. The staffs are so kind and polite and were always there for me whenever I needed anything. I am happy that you had the best time there Max!
Ur rich because of your dad
@@EvolutionMachinetoMan I am rich because I work hard not because of my dad
@@EvolutionMachinetoMan .... not everyone lives off their parents.
I just loved this episode of your travels. I am terribly impressed I definitely will go to India and when I do I will try to visit the Leela! A superb edition.
Hi Max. Great going in Chennai. A once-a-year kind of food festival takes place in Chennai from 16 December to January 4th. If you are in Chennai dont miss it
Where in chennai brother ?
@@sapien2655 at different music sabhas like Music Academy Krishna gana Sabha etc
Max you are so down to earth
Lot's of love and respect 💕
You should visit Nagaland before the 10th of December, there's an ongoing Hornbill festival which takes place from 1st dec-10th Dec every year. Also, the foods are amazing! Iam sure you will love Naga food . Please do visit Nagaland. 🙏
I'm from Nagaland aswel. x

Max you are just awesome. Your way of living is great.
I’m English and was proud how you ate the correctly pronounced “scone” by putting the cream first then the jam and washing it down with your tea 😁
Every knock and Corner especially in India you would get such great hospitality, I would recommend you, if you have an opportunity, you would come to west Bengal at once Over here, you will be pleased to look at the food, behaviour and respect etc.
All the best, go ahead 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Max I have seen other CZcamsrs like also but they don’t seem interested in coming to Chennai and all they just go to Mumbai or Delhi .. but MAX you are the only one I have seen who has come to Chennai … if possible visit ITC chola hotel also that’s also a really good expensive hotel … enjoy your stay in Chennai MAX 😊
Much appreciated max:)

Max the way u praise our food is simply incredible n humorous too , i just like ur way of talking very much 👌🏻👌🏻❤️❤️
I've lived in Dimapur as a kid almost 20 years back, which is the biggest city in Nagaland. The state is a mountainous region and is lush green with lots and lots of Bamboo trees, bamboo art and everything bamboo. Nagaland is also home to lots of proud and distinct native tribes. Sadly, Nagaland is not much talked about by most Indians.
Soon will be . Meghalaya and Assam have been on many tourist's list .Arunachal is in its phase and tourism numbers are booming.
Hopefully Nagaland will have its chance soon
@@sibasishdutta9009 indeed 😊
Thats because too much dog killers
I like ur detailing in videos. Keep it up bro
Hey Max! Love your videos. Can you make informative videos on how can we get hotel upgrades and other benefits. Appreciate you work

Increasing your Subscribers Congratulations Max Love From Andhra 🇮🇳
Yo are down to earth bro!!
Really appreciable 🙌🏻
Max love u man.. the way you explain the things and simultaneously eating street food and five stars cusines..keep going
OMG.... when you said there must be cameras... I stayed there many years ago and I swore the eyes in the art work moved...there are spaces in the wall between the rooms where they wait. If I uttered I needed something they were at the door seconds later. 🤣
The wine that you saw is called Sula and is produced in my home town called Nashik, Maharashtra. If you have time do visit Sula vineyards, its amazing place to chill, relax and have some wine .
Thanks for the info!
