7 Airbnbs In Bangalore That You Need To Bookmark For A Staycation
A Hip Studio In Jayamahal
Located in a plush neighbourhood in Bangalore, this studio apartment will surely add colour to your trip and staycation. Done up in happy colours and equipped with modern facilities, this space comes with a four-poster bed, a small study space, a fully-equipped kitchen, and other modern facilities. Two caretakers will help you out with any queries or trouble you have while using facilities or if you need a meal cooked (for an extra fee, of course).
Private Room Near Cubbon Park
In the heart of the city, you can explore Bangalore with ease from this duplex flat. You’ll be sharing space with the young owners of the house, who will be happy to share their knowledge of the city. You can check into a pleasantly-decorated room on the ground floor that assures you of privacy. If you’d like to use the kitchen or any of the other common areas, those are available too. Can’t do without your early morning walk or jog? Then just hop over to Cubbon Park that’s at a short distance from here.
Entire Home In A Tudor Style Villa Near BEL Circle
Looking to stay at a place that’s not too far away from the airport but still accessible to the city? Book this apartment that is close to the Moevenpick Hotel in North Bangalore. Getting to the centre of the city, or the airport, shouldn’t take you more than 30 minutes if you stay here. It also helps that the apartment is immaculately furnished and comes equipped with all the modern facilities. You’ll also get homemade breakfast every day and your hosts will even give you cooking tutorials, on request.
An Artful Apartment In HBR Layout
If you love to stay in a place that can tell a story, then this apartment is just right for you. Also, if you are on a business trip to the nearby Manyata Tech Park or just looking for an artsy space for staycation, then this place is ideal. But it’s very likely that once you get here, you’ll spend a good chunk of your time gazing at the artistic displays in the home itself. When you’re hungry, stop by Kammanahalli, which is in the vicinity, or head to Indiranagar or MG Road, which are half an hour away.
Heritage Bungalow Off Cunningham Road
Called “Enjoy the comforts of a home.Room2” or “Enjoy the comforts of a home.Room1”, you get to live in a heritage bungalow, just off Cunningham Road. If you know Bangalore well, then it’s the same quaint property that the restaurant Secret Garden was housed in once upon a time. Filled with potted plants, lovely trellises, a garden space, a terrace swimming pool (though not too large), and antique furniture, it’s easy to call this place home! The rooms are tastefully done up with antique furniture, and classic decor in the form of crystal, Tanjore paintings, gorgeous carpets, and even some stunning metal statues and centerpieces.

Garden Facing Room In Whitefield, With Pool
Designed by an architect, this private home lends out two rooms for four guests, in Whitefield. One of the rooms is on the ground floor, the other the penthouse that is accessed via an external staircase. The penthouse one is our favourite as it has access to the terrace that overlooks Whitefield, and surprisingly has plenty of trees, with the buildings only in the distance. It also has an alfresco kitchen and dining area if you want to stay in, cook yourself a meal, and enjoy it on the terrace with a glass of wine. The pool in the garden is the highlight of this Airbnb. Breakfast and WiFi are on the house. You can plan a couples' staycation for Valentine's Day, maybe?
