The Oterra

Electronic City was one of India's first planned technology parks, and hotels there have long catered to visiting engineers, consultants and corporate delegations. The hotel is a functional, moderately priced option in that setting, with services designed around weekday work travel.The Oterra is a four-star business hotel in Electronic City Phase 1 on Hosur Road in south Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. It is a business hotel near the large technology campuses that make Electronic City one of India's best-known IT hubs, and the Electronic City flyover and Hosur Road connect it with the rest of the city. Central Bengaluru and MG Road are roughly 20 km to the north, and travel times can be long at rush hours. The Bengaluru-Hosur route also links the area to Tamil Nadu, so the hotel sees visitors travelling for business between the two states. The property is a modern mid-scale building whose purpose is to serve corporate travellers, and its facilities are geared to work stays rather than sightseeing. Room types include Deluxe, Superior and Executive rooms and suites, with rates typically between INR 4,500 and INR 11,000 per night. Rooms are generally practical, with work desks, air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and Executive rooms and suites add space for longer stays. Dining includes a restaurant and a bar, and breakfast is a buffet with Indian and continental dishes. Leisure facilities include a swimming pool and a fitness centre, and a business centre supports meetings and printing needs. Service is business-oriented, and airport shuttle arrangements are listed for the long journey of roughly 55 km to Kempegowda International Airport, which can take well over an hour and a half in traffic. The hotel suits corporate visitors, project teams and travellers on extended stays who need to be close to the campuses. Leisure travellers who want to see central Bengaluru should weigh the commute against the moderate rates. Advance booking helps at quarter-end and during corporate events.
