About Shangri-La Bengaluru
- The hotel's 30-foot lobby contains nine cylindrical chandeliers, each weighing close to 500 kg, a deliberate architectural statement by Wilson Associates referencing Bengaluru's reputation as India's Garden City.
- A sandstone wall installation sourced in Rajasthan and depicting a gold-stained palm leaf pattern dominates the lobby lounge, an unusual act of cross-regional craft in a Bengaluru building.
- All 397 rooms and suites use locally quarried New Gold Vein marble in their bathrooms, a sourcing decision that tied the property's materials palette directly to Karnataka's stone industry.
- Shangri-La Bengaluru sits on Palace Road in Vasanth Nagar, within a ten-minute walk of the Indo-Saracenic Bengaluru Palace, the 1880s Windsor Castle replica built for the Wadiyar maharajas.
History
Shangri-La Bengaluru opened in 2015 as the brand's debut property in Karnataka, South India. The 19-storey hotel draws design inspiration from Bengaluru's nickname as India's Garden City, incorporating traditional Indian motifs in its impressive 30-foot-high lobby, guestrooms, and suites. It has become one of the city's leading luxury hotels, attracting royalty, politicians, and celebrities with its hospitality and world-class amenities.
The setting
Shangri-La Bengaluru commands Palace Road in Vasanth Nagar, one of central Bengaluru's most patrician addresses. The Indo-Saracenic Bengaluru Palace, built in the 1880s and modelled on Windsor Castle, is 14 minutes on foot; the National Gallery of Modern Art occupies a heritage building five minutes' walk away; and the Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium is 14 minutes on foot. The Bangalore Golf Club, founded in 1876 and one of Asia's oldest, borders the neighbourhood at High Grounds. Upper-floor rooms frame unobstructed views over the palace grounds and city skyline. The Vidhana Soudha legislative complex is 13 minutes by transit, pairing cultural and civic weight with seamless CBD access for Bengaluru's most discerning guests. 7 km from Lalbagh gardens.
