Lebua Lucknow, Lucknow

The Lebua Lucknow takes you away from the bustling city and is a calming and relaxing base, in a quiet location; but only a short distance to the main points of interest Lucknow has to offer, so is fantastic in this sense.

The hotel is set in beautifully manicured gardens and is a lovely old converted colonial building with an art deco, early 1900’s vibe. The main bungalow was lovingly restored in April 2016, so now encompasses modern hospitality with a traditional ethos. The pool is a welcome space to relax after sightseeing but is relatively small, so might not suit family travellers. There are two restaurants; Azrak and 1936, the latter offering fine dining. We’d recommend Azrak for its Indian culinary journey.

There are 41 rooms reflecting the Laknavi heritage of the city with some opening onto courtyards and terraces. The executive and deluxe rooms feel on the smaller side, so if you like the feeling of space in your room, we would recommend a luxury room or one of the larger than average Lebua suites.

The Lebua’s winning features are the location, grounds, staff and beautiful building. It’s not the place to come for its rooms in general. Families with younger kids might find it all a little grand and not be able to relax, but otherwise, this is an excellent option for up and coming Lucknow.
