The Place To Be Hotels In Bangalore
The Taj Group of Hotels undoubtedly agrees that Bangalore is the place to be in. There are three Taj properties in the city itself, all self-confessed business hotels, while a fourth, Kuteeram, waits in the environs to restore boardroom battlers with doses of earthy hospitality. (The hotel, acquired from the late Protima Bedi, adjoins her dance school, Nrityagram.) “Super” luxe amenities in mansions and villas (the oldest dating to over 100 years) nestled amidst wooded glades could make the group’s flagship, West End, a dappled retreat for pleasure-seekers. But despite the deceptively sybaritic setting, “this is a business hotel,” states Rakhee Lalvani, sales manager of the Taj Residency, who spoke to us about the Taj hotels in the city. “ The idea is for our guests to do business at leisure.” And while corporate raiders can clinch that hush-hush deal in a private sitout, confident that the glossy palm won’t eavesdrop, the hotel also has a fully equipped business center, and offers secretarial services and laptops on hire, too.
While the West End mantles its corporate efficiency with a mask of olde - worlde charm, the Taj Residency frankly describes itself as a “crisp” business hotel, of course, with five star trimmings. “We are working on time guarantees: tea served in four minutes; speedy check-in, checkout...” says Lalvani. The hotel’s senior and middle management clientele can soon look forward to “high tech” innovations with interactive TVs, dataports, tele conferencing et al in the rooms. And those seeking to work-off those high powered tensions or calorie-steeped luncheons can unwind in the state-of-the-art gym!
Sans frills, but elegantly functional, the Taj’s Gateway Hotel on Residency Road is described as a four star deluxe, caters very comfortably to middle level executives. Scoring with a location plumb in the heart of the city’s major shopping, business and entertainment areas, this hotel is well-known for the delightful coastal cuisine at its Karavalli restaurant.
“Bangalore is a leisure location for business,” concurs Suresh Kumar,general manager of the Welcomgroup Windsor Manor Sheraton and Towers. The wedding-cake white colonial edifice has 240 rooms, the largest capacity in Bangalore. Its Tower complex is described as a “hotel within a hotel,” where “service is anything you want it to be.”
Reiterating Bangalore’s prime advantages of a cosmopolitan culture, good quality of life and conducive climate, weather and otherwise, Kumar feels the city has an edge over several others. The ambience of a “hill station with metro facilities,” as he eloquently puts it, makes Bangalore a desirable place to do business in. Yet, he feels, despite the strong business orientation, Bangalore has remarkable potential as a leisure destination. In fact, he points out, in the ITC branded holiday packages dubbed Welcombreaks, “this is most favored holiday sector” for domestic Indian tourists.
The hi tech and hi touch qualgoes that Kumar ascribes to his city apply equally well to his hotel “An in-house microbiology lob ensures the highest levels of quality and hygiene,” he states proudly. And in the new millennium too, the hotel will consolidate its strengths. “State-of-the-art technology and fine tuned training must be backed up by traditional values of hospitality.”
The menu, set in the usual coffee shop style, offers specific items at specific times. A continental breakfast of juice, toast or rolls, and tea or coffee costs Rs 105, while Imperial (Rs 205) and Maharaja (Rs 125) breakfasts feature additions of cornflakes or porridge and eggs with ham, bacon or sausages. Indian options like puri bhaji, dosa or idli are also available in the Maharaja breakfast. The a la-carte section has omelettes served with a choice of ham, mushroom, cheese etc (Rs 70), pancakes (Rs 45) and French toast, to name a few.
For starters, one can have cocktail de crevettes (Rs 170), fresh prawns served with a cocktail sauce, or chicken khatta mitha (Rs 105). Vegetarian salads include waldorf (Rs 80) and garden rainbow (Rs 50). Soups, sandwiches and burgers range in price from Rs 70-105.
The mini meals in the Indian menu are tasty, practical and good value for money. Reshmi paneer (Rs 135), shabnam curry (Rs 125), mahi tikka (Rs 200), jhinga maharani (Rs 350) et al are each served either with kulcha or buttered rice or pilaf.
The dessert section, named meethi yaaden, has banana sundae, tutti frutti and cream caramel, to name a few. We chose a Hawaiian ice cream sandwich (Rs 90). Massive, with three layers of ice cream and sponge topped with chocolate sauce, it was delicious and sinfully rich, but we failed to detect the Hawaiian touch.
Considering the quality of the food, the decor and the service, it is surprising that The Coffee Shop is not frequented by more diners. Its distance from the city proper could be one reason, but those who enjoy a drive and a leisurely meal may well consider eating here a pleasant option.
