Bengaluru : book your hotel

From its expansive green spaces to its inventive craft breweries, addictive South Indian dishes, and historic palaces, there's a lot to love about Bengaluru. No trip to the city is complete without exploring Lalbagh Botanical Garden, sampling at Arbor Brewing Company, dining at Mavalli Tiffin Room, and seeing Bengaluru Palace, but take the time to delve deeper and you’ll see why this is one of the coolest big cities in India.

Some of Bengaluru's top attractions are located in the city centre. Book a stay at ibis Bengaluru City Centre and you can easily tick off attractions like MG Road, Cubbon Park, Bengaluru Palace, Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace, Bengaluru Fort, and Lalbagh Botanical Garden.

For a different vibe, Grand Mercure Bangalore situates you right in the heart of Koramangala - a vibrant neighbourhood that’s overflowing with trendy rooftop restaurants, indie boutique shops, and innovative craft breweries. Of course, many people come to Bengaluru to visit the IT parks and corporate hubs along the IT corridor, in which case Novotel Bengaluru Outer Ring Road is the ideal home base.
