Visit Jaya Nagar in Bengaluru

In the south of Bengaluru, the cosmopolitan district of Jaya Nagar was the first planned residential neighbourhood to be laid out post-Independence. Primarily a mix of housing and shopping malls, restaurants and multiplexes, Jaya Nagar’s a hub for many colleges and other institutions too.

Jaya Nagar is also a perfect place to stay to be near several Hindu temples, including the 1972-built Ragigudda Anjaneya complex spread across five hilly acres.

Hotels in Jaya Nagar

Jaya Nagar has a handful of mid-range three-star chain hotels, including options from Quality Inn, OYO Rooms and Royal Orchid. But the majority of accommodation in this neighbourhood is independently owned and operated, basic two-star lodging with functional guest rooms and minimal frills to modern four-star hotels loaded with everything from outdoor swimming pools and full-service spas to on-site nightclubs and free valet parking.

Some have thoughtful extra touches like arcade or games rooms or fireplaces in every room, while others provide 24-hour airport shuttles for an extra charge.
