"Bangalore is known as both the Silicon Valley of India and as the Garden City, and the 357-room Leela Palace is a bit of both — a comfortable, highly functional business hotel hiding inside an imposing palace that sits on nine acres of tightly kempt lawns and manicured hedges, with more than a few palm trees and waterfalls sprinkled in for good measure. This is one of those urban oases that looks much more oasis than urban — though its sprawling grounds are indeed right in the middle of things, within easy range of many tech firms, plus plenty of dining and shopping options." - Tablet Hotels
