The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore  

In the heart of Bengaluru, steps from UB City and MG Road and within easy reach of Vidhana Soudha and major business districts. Minutes from Brigade Road, Cubbon Park and well placed for flights to/from Kempegowda International Airport.

A luxury hotel with some of the largest rooms and suites in the city, wrapped in contemporary elegance and more than 1,200 artworks with a traditional jaali motif. Rooms (277 total) feature espresso makers, minibars, 42-inch flat screens, Frette sheets and down comforters. Bathrooms boast separate tubs and rainfall showers or deep soaking tubs, and rooms include laptop safes and daily housekeeping.

Wellness-focused setup: a dedicated spa floor, body treatments, sauna and steam bath, plus a 24-hour fitness center and yoga area. Swim in an outdoor temperature-controlled pool (and indoor pool options), sip by the poolside bar, or hit the rooftop bar for skyline views. Family-friendly perks include babysitting/childcare and a kids' playroom. Concierge, salon services, valet parking and an area shuttle within a 40 km radius keep things easy.

Complimentary high-speed wired and wireless internet is available throughout. A 24-hour business center and 6,434 sq ft of conference and meeting space make this a strong pick for meetings, events and weddings. Limo/town-car service and airport transfers (surcharge) are available on request.

Multiple on-site restaurants and bars showcase regional and international flavors — think North Indian at Zarqash, Chinese at Yàn Yǎn, IZU for Japanese and a standout rooftop bar called BANG. There’s also Riwaz for Indian cuisine, a coffee shop/café, a poolside bar and 24-hour room service, with full breakfasts served daily for a fee.
