The Gateway Hotel, B'Lore ( Tata Group )

This place is part of the Tata Group, located over at 15, 2nd Cross in Raghavanagar. If you know Bangalore, you know Mysore Road is always busy with buses and trucks heading out of the city. We are tucked away a bit in the cross streets. It’s a hotel, but we try to keep it down-to-earth despite being part of a big name. The staff here has been around for years. We handle a lot of people passing through or staying for local business in the area. The building has its quirks, like the elevator being a bit slow sometimes or the lobby getting noisy when a big group checks in. We offer rooms and food, nothing too crazy. It is a solid place to stay if you need to be on this side of town near the Mysore Road area. We spend a lot of time making sure the linens are clean and the kitchen is running. It's not about being the most glamorous spot in Bangalore. We just want to make sure people have a decent bed and a hot meal. We see a lot of regulars who travel for work. They know us by name, and we know how they like their tea. That’s just the way we run things here. It's a job, but we take it seriously enough to keep the doors open and the lights on every day. We aren't trying to be fancy, just useful. It keeps us busy and the neighborhood stays active around us.
