Hotel Leela Venture Ltd is an Indian hotel company, currently with four deluxe hotels, located in Mumbai, Bangalore, Kovalam and Goa.

The company was founded by Captain C.P. Krishnan Nair. Capt. Nair served in the Indian National Army under Netaji Subhashchandra Bose. He helped his father-in-law in the latter's garment export business. While visiting various countries, he realized the need for a luxury hotel chain in India that could measure up to international standards. He went ahead and launched the first hotel in Mumbai as Hotel Leela, in 1988. The group has then gone ahead to develop fine hotels across the other cities.

The group intends to launch new hotels across other locations in India viz. Delhi & Udaipur.
