The Chancery Pavilion, Bangalore

Don't get confused with the other Chancery hotel in Bangalore, which is on Laville Road. This one, the Chancery Pavillion, is brand new (opened in July of 2006) and is very comfortable. The other Chancery on Laville is a real disappointment. We stayed there for a night until we demanded to be moved to the Chancery Pavillion where we had dinner on our first night in Bangalore. Overall, the hotel is very comfortable. Rooms are spacious and the ones on the front of the hotel have a great view of the traffic on Residency Road below, with the Bangalore Club in the distance along with a development that has the profile of the NYC skyline. Rooms have TV, Internet access, and an in-room safe. The AC is powerful, which is key on hot days. The rest of the hotel was also very enjoyable. The pool in the back of the hotel was pretty popular. We had dinner out there one night, though it appeared to be rented out on other nights. The food at the restaurant was excellent -- great Indian food buffet and crepes for dessert. One of the hotel managers, Kaplana, was very attentive and helped make our stay a good one. I'd definitely stay here again.
