Hotel Royal Orchid
A five-star rooftop pool near Domlur, priced like a mid-range stay
About this hotel
Domlur sits east of central Bengaluru, an older neighbourhood next to Indiranagar rather than a newer tech-park zone, and Royal Orchid's rooftop pool looks out over that mix of streets rather than glass towers. Three restaurants on site cover most meals without leaving the property, though Zaitoon Restaurant in Indiranagar is worth the eight-minute walk for a change of scene. The gym rounds out the practical side of a stay here. What stands out most is the price: a 5-star rating at around 63 EUR a night undercuts several 4-star properties on this list. The airport takes just over an hour by taxi, in line with most of east Bengaluru.
- Rooftop pool
- Five-star rating at a low price
- Three on-site restaurants
- Domlur/Indiranagar location
Our take
This suits travellers who want a genuine 5-star rooftop pool without paying 5-star prices, based in the older, more residential Domlur-Indiranagar area rather than a tech corridor. Three on-site restaurants make it easy to stay in, while Zaitoon in Indiranagar gives a reason to walk out occasionally. Anyone expecting a brand-new tower with panoramic views should note the rooftop here looks over an established neighbourhood, not a skyline of new builds.
- ✓Book here first if price against star rating matters most, since 63 EUR for a 5-star rooftop pool undercuts most comparable stays.
- ✓Walk to Zaitoon Restaurant in Indiranagar, eight minutes away, for a dinner outside the hotel's own three restaurants.
- ✓Expect an established Domlur streetscape from the rooftop rather than a glass-tower skyline, since this is an older part of the city.
Why we love it
- A five-star rooftop pool at a mid-range price
- Three restaurants without leaving the property
- Zaitoon Restaurant an eight-minute walk in Indiranagar
- An established Domlur neighbourhood setting
Why guests love itHotel Royal Orchid is the most affordable 5-star rooftop pool stay on our list, at roughly 63 EUR a night, without dropping the star rating to get there. Three restaurants and a gym back up the rooftop pool near the Domlur Flyover, and Indiranagar's bars and restaurants, including Zaitoon, are an eight-minute trip away. It suits guests who want a genuine rooftop experience and east-side nightlife access without paying premium rates for it.
