Staying in Mysore

Mysore is a royal city, known for the Mysore Palace and the Dasara festival, and also for Mysore silk, sandalwood and the Chamundi Hills. For a visitor, the useful area is the centre around Mysore Palace and Sayyaji Rao Road, which puts attractions, shopping and dining within easy reach.

The mix suits different trips. Couples and short-break visitors can stay central and walk to the palace area, while families get family rooms at Grand Mercure Mysore, Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Mysore, Fortune JP Palace Mysore Member ITC Hotels' Group and smaller addresses like Royal Comforts. Business travellers have business centres at Grand Mercure Mysore, Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Mysore and Fortune JP Palace Mysore Member ITC Hotels' Group. SaffronStays Riverstone, a riverside villa 12.1 km out, and the apartment-style stays suit longer, quieter visits.

Plan your stay

Getting there and around

Mysore is connected by air through Mysore Airport, which has limited flights; the nearest major airport is Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, about 170 km away. By train, Mysore Junction is well linked to Bengaluru, Chennai and other cities, and buses run frequently from Bengaluru and other parts of Karnataka. Within the city, auto-rickshaws, taxis and city buses are available. Many attractions are in the central area and can be reached on foot or by short rides, which suits the hotels closest to the centre. From Bengaluru, the journey takes around three hours by road or rail.

When to go

The best time to visit Mysore is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant with mild days and cool nights. The Dasara festival in September or October is a major draw, but it also brings crowds. Summers from March to May can be hot, with temperatures often exceeding 35°C, and the monsoon from June to September brings moderate rainfall. If you want the palace at its liveliest, plan around Dasara and book early.
