The very first Indian to win the unique honour of 'Lifetime Achievement Award' from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences, Capt. Krishnan Nair is today among the legends of the hospitality industry. The Leela has established a leadership position in the luxury hotel and resort industry and has been offering the best of facilities and services to the world's most discerning travellers at some of the most beautiful spots in India. Each of Leela's properties is unique in design, character and ambience, with the 'Essence Of India' portrayed in its interiors.
The latest offering from the Leela Group, The Leela Kovalam is all set to turn Kerala's most famous tourist spot into a world-class destination. "What we created in Mumbai, Goa and Bangalore will be repeated here," said Capt. Nair. "The Leela Kovalam is poised to become the focus of world tourism and environment. We are taking all steps to make it a world-class resort from the beginning." He added that conventions, celebrity weddings, Ayurveda and well being treatments would give guests a chance to enjoy the solitude and serenity of the place. The Leela Kovalam Beach is a homecoming of sorts for Capt. Nair, who hails from the State.
