Abhissek Basu: Redefining Luxury Hospitality at The Prime Address of East Delhi
When it comes to iconic hospitality in the capital, The Leela Ambience Convention Hotel, Delhi stands tall as an address of elegance, scale, and service excellence. At the forefront of this grand property is Abhissek Basu, a seasoned hotelier whose career with The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts spans over two decades. Since taking charge as Hotel Manager in August 2024, Abhissek has been shaping the guest experience at one of India’s largest luxury convention hotels – fondly known as #ThePrimeAddressOfEastDelhi.
With 480 premium rooms and suites, over 70,000 sq. ft. of versatile event space, and a pillar-less ballroom of 24,000 sq. ft., the hotel is a preferred venue for lavish Indian weddings, corporate summits, diplomatic gatherings, and global conferences. But behind this scale is a leader who believes true hospitality lies in the details.
What sets Abhissek apart is his guest-centric approach. His leadership goes beyond operations – it’s about ensuring every touchpoint reflects The Leela’s philosophy of “Atithi Devo Bhava”, blending traditional Indian warmth with modern luxury. From mentoring teams to introducing innovative service ideas, his calm yet strategic style ensures seamless experiences for every guest.
Abhissek’s association with The Leela brand has been nothing short of inspiring. At The Leela Mumbai, he led F&B operations across celebrated outlets like Jamavar, Le Cirque Signature, and Six Degrees. At The Leela Kovalam, he mastered the art of balancing leisure and corporate hospitality, delivering five-star experiences amidst natural beauty.
These experiences shaped his ability to manage large-scale operations, curated events, and high-end guest expectations. His expertise in concept development, team empowerment, cost control, and service innovation reflects throughout the Delhi property.
Under Abhissek’s guidance, The Leela Ambience Convention Hotel Delhi is evolving as more than a stay—it’s an ecosystem of curated luxury experiences. From wellness-focused initiatives to tech-enabled yet personalized service, the hotel mirrors his forward-thinking approach.
What remains constant is his signature style: invisible effort, visible excellence. Whether it’s a flawless wedding celebration or a high-profile international conference, every guest interaction is crafted to perfection.
In an industry where hotels compete not only on facilities but experiences, Abhissek is the quiet force keeping The Leela ahead of the curve. His ability to balance tradition with innovation, luxury with accessibility, and team leadership with guest delight positions him as one of the capital’s key hospitality leaders.
