Hotels in Bangalore

One of India's biggest cities, Bangalore is now one of the most technologically advanced urban centres in Asia, and is referred to as India's 'Garden City' because of its attractive parks and tree-lined streets.

Places of interest:

Vidhana Soudha

The enormous Vidhana Soudha is one of the most striking landmarks in the city and is the county's largest legislative building, 700 metres in width. Although the building was not completed until the 1950s, the architecture emulates the style of much older Dravidian architecture found in much of South and Southeast Asia

Nageshvara Temple

In the Bangalore rural district, the Nageshvara Temple is one of the oldest in the city and dates back to the ancient era. Here, a 9th-century inscription revealed that a Bengaluru war had taken place here, which is considered to be the oldest surviving record of the settlement.

Bangalore Palace

Although the construction of Bangalore Palace began in 1862, the building was not completed until more than 80 years later. This building is known for its opulent interior and Gothic features, and features an exquisite ballroom and various 19th-century European paintings. Over the decades, the grounds of Bangalore Palace have been regularly used for music concerts for artists ranging from The Rolling Stones to Elton John. The building is now the home of the Mysore royal family, and has benefited from a major refurbishment since the 1990s.

Other sights

Another sight to put on your list is the ISKCON Temple Bangalore, which was inaugurated in the 1990s and is a major festival venue. If you're hoping to get a few hours away from the hustle and bustle of city life, visit Cubbon Park, which is around 100 acres and is near the geographical heart of Bangalore. Another popular natural attraction within easy reach of many Bangalore hotels is the Bannerghatta National Park, which is an important biological reserve and comprises an aquarium, a zoo, historic temples and other fascinating visitor attractions.

Hotels and restaurants

For some mouthwatering Thai dishes, dine at the sophisticated Rim Naam restaurant, or try the Dakshin restaurant for some authentically delicious South Indian flavours. The Time Traveller restaurant also provides delightful Continental, Indian and vegetarian dishes, while Mezzaluna is the place to go if you're looking for top-notch Italian specialities.

For maximum comfort and luxury amenities, choose the Adarsh Hamilton Hotel, an ideal choice for people travelling for business and leisure purposes. For a stylish but more affordable option, consider the Escape Hotel & Spa, or book a stay at the ITC Gardenia if you're looking for a truly enchanting hotel experience with first-rate hospitality.
