The Ritz Carlton Bangalore

Wonderful staff from the minute you engage and you can’t fault them! We had breakfast everyday, with a fabulous selection and amazing service. The only downside is on a weekend it becomes over crowded and they struggle. We were diverted to the Exec lounge for breakfast on a Sunday. It’s quiet but still busy. Selection is not as abundant but still plenty to choose from. We dined at the Riwaz restaurant one evening and the food was fabulous. Plenty of choice for all dietary requirements, local live music was being played (subtly in the background and not too over bearing) but a bit pricey - highly recommended!

Ritz in Bangalore is in the central part of Bangalore with lots to do around the area. The decor is opulent that blends style and luxury well. Plenty of restaurants and food options and from my room I could hear live music late into the night which made it feel lively. The rooms are spacious and luxurious. The only reason for me to give them a lower rating is that there was smell in the bedding and in the bathrobe; I didn’t expect this from Ritz. And the smell was bad, musty, stale and giving a feeling of unwashed. Rest of the experience was great. The staff was welcoming, kind and the service was as I would expect from Ritz- outstanding!

Comfortable Stay, But Deeply Disappointing Dining Experience The Ritz-Carlton hotel itself is very comfortable. I had no issues with the stay — the rooms and amenities met expectations. However, I made the mistake of booking a package that included two meals a day (breakfast and dinner), and this turned out to be a major regret. Dinner is served at The Market, the hotel's so-called continental restaurant, and both the food and service were truly disappointing. The atmosphere is chaotic — dim lighting combined with loud conversations made it hard to relax. The food, even by the standards of Indian-style continental cuisine, was objectively bad. I highly recommend not including the lunch or dinner package in your booking. Breakfast was decent, but dinner was a daily struggle. Over the course of three nights, my companion and I left more than half of our food uneaten. I wonder if the staff ever paused to consider what that might mean. This restaurant simply does not live up to the global standards of the Ritz-Carlton brand. It became something I dreaded each evening, and I’m honestly relieved that I no longer have to eat dinner here.
