The Grand Magarath Hotel

We are located at 30 Brigade Road, which is one of the most crowded parts of Bangalore. If you’ve been to the city, you know how the traffic is around here. The Grand Magarath sits right in the thick of it. When you walk inside, it’s a bit of a relief from the noise of the bikes and the shoppers outside. The hotel has a bit of a traditional feel to it, with lots of wood and darker colors in the lobby. We have a good number of rooms, and they look out over the city streets or the inner sections of the block. Our days are mostly about helping people navigate the city or dealing with the bags of people who spent the day shopping nearby. The roof area is where people go to get a bit of air. It’s a vertical sort of place because space is tight on Brigade Road. We spend a lot of time on the maintenance of the lifts and the air conditioning because the Bangalore heat can get tricky. The staff knows the local area well, so we’re always telling people which alleyways to take to avoid the crowds. It’s a busy life working here, but it’s interesting to see everyone coming and going from all over. We just try to keep the place tidy and the coffee hot for the guests who come in from the street.
