Taj West End, Bengaluru

Taj West End is a heritage luxury hotel at 25 Race Course Road in central Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. The property dates to 1887 and is set within roughly 20 acres of tropical gardens, one of the largest green spaces attached to any hotel in the city centre. It lies north-west of MG Road, near Bengaluru's racecourse and the Cubbon Road area, and is a short drive from Vidhana Soudha, Cubbon Park and the commercial district. Kempegowda International Airport is about 35 kilometres away, and the transfer commonly takes an hour or more in traffic. The architecture blends colonial-era buildings with garden cottages, giving the hotel a low-rise, leafy character that differs from the glass towers found elsewhere in the city. Accommodation includes Deluxe Rooms, Luxury Rooms, Heritage Cottages set among the gardens, and Suites. The cottages are the main draw for visitors who want a more secluded, historic atmosphere, while the main-building rooms suit shorter or business-oriented stays. Dining is spread across several restaurants and a bar, with Indian and international options and a substantial breakfast service. Amenities listed for the property include an outdoor pool, a spa, a fitness centre, wifi and a concierge desk. The gardens are a feature in their own right, and guests often use them for walks and quiet time. Service follows the Taj group's formal hospitality style, and the hotel is used for both leisure stays and corporate events. Rates generally fall in the INR 15,000 to 38,000 range per night before taxes. Bookings are made through the Taj website or by telephone on +91 80 6660 5660.
