The JW Marriott Bengaluru is aptly located in the heart of Bengaluru right next to UB City. This is a Marriott category 4 that is truly luxurious and offers top-notch hospitality. On a recent trip to Bangalore, we stayed at the hotel and here is how our experience went.
The Aloft brand was introduced to recreate the W hotel brand and offer millennials a trendy stay proposition at a lower price point. This was our second stay at an Aloft hotel and I am beginning to grow fond of the brand consistency. Here’s how our stay at the Aloft Bengaluru Whitefield went.
Earlier this month we stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton in Bangalore. This is value for money new business hotel that opened about 3 years ago and should be on our list if you are looking for a hotel in the Whitefield area.
Earlier this month we stayed The Park in Bangalore. This hotel that was constructed from an era 20 years ago appears to have never been refurbished and it’s disappointing to see that it participates in the SPG program.
The frequent flyers in India will have one more moment to themselves getting on a plane. They don’t have to wait for their bags to be stamped with a security clearance after it is done, with effect from April 1, 2017. This would soon be implemented at other airports as well!
A couple of major airports in India are closing down their runways for maintenance at the same time and will be offline for a long period, at least 4 months. This will impact travel plans. Here are all the details.
I had a long and troublesome travel day yesterday with quite some amount of delays creeping in. However, we shall overcome! Here was how I hedged myself from going further into the trap. That too without having coffee on hand for 14 hours.
Jet Airways will be launching a new flight between Bangalore and Singapore as of December 2016. Another new route to connect the Indian Silicon Valley with their Venture Capitalists’ Singapore Offices 😉 Here are the details.
A few weeks back, I stayed at the Ritz Carlton Bangalore, the first hotel for the brand in India. I also discovered their impeccable and intuitive service, as well as the Ladies & Gentlemen at work. Pretty impressive short stay, reviewed for you.
There have been two major issues I’ve had with the Bangalore BIAL Airport for as long as I remember. Having used the airport based inside the city, I find the current airport too far away, and one can’t predict travel times to the airport since you can only go by the road. The other one was, the lack of a lounge for most airlines, except for Kingfisher Airlines. Then, they rebranded the Kingfisher Airlines lounge as the Pause Lounge. However, it looks like the troubles for accessing lounges in Bangalore Airports may now be over. As of March this year, Plaza Premium opened up a couple of lounges at Bangalore, one at the Domestic side of the terminal, and one…
Like I’ve mentioned in the past, Uber launched in India in the city of Bangalore in September 2013 and has started testing services in Delhi/Gurgaon in October 2013. New cities they will be offering services in the coming months will be Chennai, Hyderabad and Mumbai, since these cities show up on their website in hiring mode as of now. I had a good experience with Uber a couple of weeks back when I tried out their services in Delhi, when I could get myself a Toyota Camry for the drive from the Delhi Airport to my home.
