ITC Windsor, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bengaluru
A palace-adjacent outdoor pool with five restaurants
About this hotel
Bengaluru Palace anchors this part of the city, and ITC Windsor sits four minutes away by taxi, closer to the palace district than to any tech corridor, which sets the tone for a stay built around heritage-hotel polish rather than business efficiency. Five restaurants and an Irish pub cover most evenings without leaving the property, and the spa rounds out the leisure side of a stay here. The Royal Afghan, three minutes on foot, is worth the short walk for a change of scene. With 22,113 reviews behind its 9.4 rating, this is the most reviewed pool hotel on the entire list, a sample size that leaves little room for a fluke rating. The airport itself takes 42 minutes by taxi, a middling distance for central Bengaluru.

- Near Bengaluru Palace
Our take
This suits travellers who want a genuine luxury stay near Bengaluru Palace rather than a tech-corridor business hotel, backed by the largest review sample on this list. Five restaurants and an Irish pub make it easy to spend an entire evening without leaving the property. Anyone chasing a rooftop or infinity pool view should look elsewhere, since the pool here is a ground-level outdoor one and the draw is the address and the dining, not the water itself.
- ✓Trust the 9.4 rating here more than almost anywhere else on this list, given the 22,113 reviews behind it.
- ✓Walk to The Royal Afghan three minutes away for a change from the hotel's own five restaurants and Irish pub.
- ✓Book a taxi to Bengaluru Palace, four minutes away, rather than treating this purely as a tech-corridor business stay.
Why we love it
- The largest review count on this list

Why guests love itITC Windsor carries more guest reviews than any other pool hotel on our list, 22,113 of them, and that scale shows in how many ways there are to eat and drink here: five restaurants, an Irish pub and a spa around an outdoor pool. Its position a few minutes from Bengaluru Palace suits leisure travellers who want a heritage-adjacent stay rather than a tech-corridor tower. It reads as a safe, well-tested choice precisely because so many guests have already weighed in.
