Thanks for the help everyone! That helps my planning a lot!

OK, one last question.

Like I said, I am looking for a hotel option that would not be too onerous traffic-wise. Now I know better than to trust a google map estimate on travel time in India, but - just how far off is the google map estimate from Hebbal to the Leela of about 30 mins?

The closest good hotel seems to be the Lalit Ashok, but my previous experience of Ashok hotels have not been the best... Everything else, including the Sheraton, the Taj WE and the Oberoi look to be about the same distance away (from google maps), of about 15-20 kms.

Since spouse is coming (and am interrupting my personal vacation) I want to be in a good hotel... is the Lalit my only do-able option? How long will this distance take if I am in one of the other hotels?

Thanks again everyone!
