The Taj Residency

We're staying at the Taj Residency in Bangalore, which is a gorgeous hotel that is probably way outside my personal price range. The staff here is going way out of their way to ensure that our stay is comfortable, and we are being very well taken care of. Every time we leave our rooms, someone comes in to tidy up and straighten the room.

This afternoon, we went to the Jiva Spa in the hotel for a Vishram massage, which is an aromatherapy relaxation massage. The custom oils that they use are scented with Sandalwood, Sesame and Frankincense. Prior to the massage, we used the steamroom, and then afterwards, we were treated to hot chai tea in the relaxation room. We also each received a necklace of Mysore Mallige flowers, which is a type of jasmine. The scent is beautifully light and exotic, and I'm going to see if I can try to find it in a perfume.

We're meeting at 7:30am for breakfast, and are leaving the hotel around 8:00am. Training starts at 10:00am. Can't wait!

And now for some pictures of the hotel:
