The Vivanta by Taj - Whitefield, Bangalore occupies a great spot in central Bangalore - especially for business travellers - adjacent to the International Tech Park and General Motors office. This isn't a bland and boring business hotel by any means; interiors are thoroughly contemporary and design led, making this a great choice for corporate and leisure travellers alike.

The facilities

Plentiful, as befits its five star status. There's a choice of dining options: Latitude serves a huge range of Asian cuisine, whilst smart Terracotta is the place to head for contemporary Indian fare. Then there's the deli, Caramel, for freshly baked cookies and cakes, and a glamorous cocktail bar that opens out onto landscaped gardens.

There's an outdoor pool, fitness centre and the signature Jiva spa. The business centre is open 24/7 and offers high speed internet access, scanning and printing facilities, online stock information, video conferencing facilities and more.

The rooms

Each of Vivanta by Taj - Whitefield, Bangalore's 199 guestrooms share the same contemporary style as its communal areas. All have interactive flat screen televisions, wifi access, nightly turn down and well-stocked minibars as standard.
