Ista has several interpretations in Sanskrit - it covers the gamut of welcoming terms from 'sacred space' to 'personal and sacred'. The name was just the beginning of the inspiration behind Ista and the service values that recognise that no matter where the weary traveler goes, what he wants at the end of a day at work is his own 'sacred space' in which to unwind and find a welcome haven – an Ista of comfort.

The pace    the pulse    the mood    the place you want to be

a welcoming haven of comfort    a luxurious bed    and everything an arm's length away

Well proportioned rooms that define 'compact luxury', balanced with entertainment facilities unobtrusively tucked away along with those finer details   that add to your comfort levels. Every added nuance spells quiet elegance, functional style, clean spaces.

And bathrooms with a view - overlooking the beautiful rain trees of Bangalore, designed to provide natural light; a spacious glass shower stall with high pressure showers, standing under which instantly eases the pressure of the day!
