Bengaluru is notorious for its congestion, but Shruti Singh alights upon the perfect oasis of calm
Conrad might be the new kid on the block in Bengaluru’s constantly growing hotel industry, but make no mistake—this 24-storey colossus is making well-established old-timers sit up. That shouldn’t surprise anyone though, considering this is Hilton Worldwide’s latest offering in India. One of the largest hospitality companies in the world, Hilton Worldwide’s properties are spread across 100 countries with over 8,00,000 rooms. Conrad has just raised the game in Bengaluru’s flourishing hospitality trade, where outstanding amenities and service are taken for granted. As a guest, what more can you ask for?
After a quick introduction with the charming Conrad team, and a vermillion tika welcome, I head to my King Deluxe room on the 15th floor. Bengaluru, the Garden City of India, is dotted with picturesque lakes that add to its lush landscape. The bird’s-eye view of the tranquil Ulsoor Lake from my room is one of the best panoramas I’ve witnessed in a city hotel. Its silver waters with islands of green keep me gazing out of the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time.
Tearing myself away from the charming view, I make for Caraway Kitchen, Conrad’s multi-cuisine restaurant. Chef Praveen Shetty, the food maestro of the hotel, is in charge here. His team orchestrates a multitude of flavoursome cuisines with military precision across the five restaurants in the hotel.
