Overview
Coming to Olde Bangalore is like taking a slow and lazy trip back in time - something that is hard to imagine in a city that has gone wild! Wake up to bird-song and retire to the sound of silence, close to the bustling habitation that is Bangalore city. As the cool breeze of nostalgia wafts through your mind, prepare to soak yourself in the soul of a Bangalore that is but a distant memory now - a city that was once refreshingly different from any other.
The Stay
Accomodation at Olde Bangalore Hotel & Resort is located within 25 unique guest cottages inspired by the nomadic traveler, which is what today's professional is called "Caravan", all the cottages are luxury tents - the eternal traveler's abode - combining a spirit of adventure and material comfort. Set in sylvan surroundings, these air-conditioned resting places are designed to take your breath away! While all cottages have exactly the same amenities, it is only the size that varies - the "Luxury" category is ideal for a couple, the "Suite" for a couple with a child and the "Deluxe" category for a couple with 2/3 children! The easy-on-the-pocket tariff comes as a pleasant surprise.
Dining
Hic! The Bar
The bar at Olde Bangalore is a typical military bar with a rather spartan setting. The repertoire of brews here, though, has luxury written all over. Whether you stand at the counter, sit in or move out onto the terrace, you are sure to find your spirits soaring in hardly any time. Hic! has a sumptuous snack menu that is intended to wonderfully complement the range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic quenchers.
South Parade - The Restaurant
South Parade - the pre-independence name for Bangalore's MG Road! This two-toned space is informal while the sun is up and a fine-dining space after the sun goes down. A small dance floor can easily accommodate about 15 couples. The whole ambience, including the warm earth-tones and the mood-lighting are intended to take patrons marching down memory lane into Bangalore's resplendent military past.
By/Two - The Coffee Shop
By/Two is named after the quaint, Old Bangalore practice of ordering a coffee and sharing it between 2 people, thus reducing the quantity for each as well as the expense. Everything on the menu, from pastries and pies to breads, cookies and muffins are made in-house at their very own bakery, "Muffins"! A taste of their specialty teas is highly recommended.
Muffins - The Bankery
The in-house bakery, MUFFINS, was set up with the idea of getting the best ingredients into the bakes - be they muffins, breads ( white and brown ), pastries, cookies or anything else. Take some of these back home to friends and family or just as a bite on the drive back home!
