Ritz-Carlton Opens First Hotel in India

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company has officially opened the doors of its first luxury hotel in India. The company made this announcement Thursday, Oct. 31.

Located on Residency Road in the heart of downtown Bangalore, the hotel is part of a destination renowned for its world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Bangalore is India’s third largest city and best known as the Silicon Valley of India, featuring areas like Electronic City, though vast expanses of lush greenery have also earned it the name of The Garden City.

The 277 room city center Ritz-Carlton hotel embraces tradition with the Jaali (lattice screen) design from the Mughal era and many architectural and interior design features, including pointed archways and ample white marble reminiscent of the Taj Mahal.

“We are redefining the international standard for luxury hospitality in India with a truly unique property in Bangalore,” said Herve Humler, president and chief operating officer of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company.
