Being a business hotel, The Leela Kempinski Gurgaon sees a lot of travellers float in and out of the hotel. But some choose to stay for a longer duration at the Residences. These are mostly guests from the expatriate community, international travellers and business men going through the process of relocation. They choose the Residences that are attached to the hotel, albeit present in its own six-storey tower. Still, all the residences have access to the hotel amenities like the restaurants and bars, fitness centre, spa, pool and daily housekeeping. The Residences come in one, two and three bedroom forms, each bedroom with its own bathroom. There is maximum security here and respect for privacy as well.
The minimum duration of stay at The Residences is 15 days and can be extended up to two years.
