Most of us have been working from home during the pandemic period and with months of lockdown and restricted movement, have been longing to step out. However, for those whose work doesn’t allow them to go on a holiday, a working holiday or workation is a perfect option. Widely popular now, a workation is a time off that you spend in a hotel where you work through the day like any regular workday but get to chill out in the evening. It is important to choose the correct hotel for your workation, as you need strong wi-fi, a well-lit room and good service. I found the perfect workation base in the heart of Bengaluru as I spent a couple of days at Holiday Inn Express Bengaluru Yeshwantpur.
I have stayed before at many Holiday Inn Express hotels in different cities and I love their express service and comfortable rooms. As always my check-in at Holiday Inn Express Bengaluru Yeshwantpur was also quick and hassle-free. I liked that it was almost contactless and the hotel is focusing on all safety protocols.
This Holiday Inn Express Bengaluru is strategically located near World Trade Centre, BIEC, the Colombia Asia Referral Hospital, Orion Mall and ISKCON Temple and within the manufacturing Hub of Bengaluru (Peenya Industrial Area). It is a 5-minute drive from Yeshwantpur Junction railway station and a 40-minute drive from the Bengaluru International Airport.
The rooms are perfect for business travelers who are looking for a frill-free stay and they have all facilities needed for a short stay. The best feature of the room is their super comfy bed which is a standard all across the chain of hotels.
The room also has a study table, a huge flat-screen TV and a mini-fridge. The room is also ideal to spend the day working from the hotel during your working hours just for a change of scene. Do check out the offers on daycations by Holiday Inn Express.
The cafe in Holiday Inn Express Bengaluru Yeshwantpur is a cozy one and I loved the ambiance. It gives out a casual vibe being colorful and their menu is varied with multiple cuisines. The breakfast buffet is tasty and you can find all the local delicacies along with a good range of continental dishes.
For lunch and dinner, they have tiffin meals which are my favorite. Currently, they are also offering veg and nonveg thalis. There is a lovely sit-out next to the cafe where you can have your meal while enjoying the small garden.
There is in-room dining with a good varied menu, nothing frilly though for times when you don’t want to step out of your room. Service time is fast and food was delivered to the room with all precautions followed.
I really enjoyed my experience at Holiday Inn Express Bengaluru Yeshwantpur for a workation. There are many corners in the hotel that can be used for working like the lobby and the cafe. The hotel also has a fitness center that is open 24×7.
I found their laundry room concept really interesting as it would be helpful for those who plan a longer stay at the hotel. Overall, highly recommend Holiday Inn Express Bengaluru Yeshwantpur for a workation or a business stay if you are traveling to Bangalore.
