Taj West End, Bengaluru

Located in the heart of Bangalore (Bengaluru), the celebrated Taj West End is a luxurious historic hotel with 20 acres of lush landscaped tropical gardens filled with giant trees. This elegant property began as a ten-bedroom boarding house called Bronson’s West End in 1887. The business quickly grew and took over two adjacent buildings – including one belonging to the elite regiment of Grenadier Guards – whose faded firecracker emblem is still in evidence. Still, it wasn’t until the early 20th century that the Taj West End acquired a country club atmosphere. During this period, some of the hotel’s inherently charming architectural features were added, including the distinctive gables, dormers, monkey tops, trelliswork and intricately carved fasciae.

Today, the hotel’s 117 stylish rooms and suites combine elegant design and ambience with luxurious comfort and modern conveniences. A wide range of dining experiences is available at the Taj West End, including contemporary Indian cuisine at the Masala Klub restaurant and authentic Vietnamese dishes at the Blue Ginger restaurant. An open-air bar serves exotic cocktails and the finest of wines from around the world. Leisure facilities at the Taj West End include an outdoor pool, two tennis courts, a fitness centre and a massage room.
