The setting
The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore stands at 99 Residency Road, whose name preserves Bengaluru's colonial memory: the British Resident's official quarters in the cantonment gave the road its identity, linking Mayo Hall Circle on MG Road to Richmond Circle. Today the address sits in the CBD, 15 minutes by transit from the Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum and 17 minutes from Cubbon Park. UB City's luxury flagships and MG Road's shopping corridor are within the immediate catchment, and a cluster of landmark luxury properties lies under one kilometre away. The hotel's rooftop bar commands panoramic views over a neighbourhood that has evolved from colonial Residency enclave to Bengaluru's most coveted business and social address. 3 km from Lalbagh Botanical Garden.
