Hilton has opened The Den Bengaluru, LXR Hotels & Resorts, marking the luxury brand’s first property in India.
Owned by Dan Hospitality India Pvt. Ltd. and managed by Hilton, the 226-room hotel is located in Whitefield, Bengaluru.
The property has launched two guest experience programmes developed around its location and the wider LXR Hotels & Resorts brand.
The Pause Program introduces a series of wellbeing-focused elements throughout a guest’s stay, while Whitefield Unscripted is designed to connect visitors with the people, places and history of the surrounding neighbourhood.
Zubin Saxena, senior vice president and regional head, South Asia, Hilton, said, “India is one of Hilton’s most important growth markets, and the emerging expectations of the country’s luxury traveller are creating significant opportunity for brands that offer individual and experience-led stays. Bengaluru is a natural market for this next phase of growth as it is globally connected, culturally dynamic and home to a diverse community of travellers. As we continue to grow our luxury portfolio across the country, The Den Bengaluru, LXR Hotels & Resorts adds a new dimension to the experiences we can offer travellers.”
The hotel comprises guest rooms, studios and suites designed for business, leisure and extended stays.
Its food and beverage offer spans four venues.
Layla is a rooftop restaurant combining Indian and Mediterranean influences, while The Creek provides all-day, multi-cuisine dining.
The Deli serves coffee and pastries, with The Cold Press operating as a wellness-focused counter offering cold-pressed juices, smoothies and other refreshments.
Wellness facilities include The Sanctuary spa, The Studio fitness centre and an outdoor swimming pool.
Additional guest facilities include The Playhouse, featuring digital tabletop games and a pool table, and The Cave, an immersive screening space.
The hotel also provides more than 21,000 sq ft of flexible meetings and events facilities across seven venues, including a ballroom, auditorium, meeting rooms and an outdoor amphitheatre.
“LXR Hotels & Resorts brings together a hand-selected collection of distinctive hotels in the world’s most alluring destinations,” said Dino Michael, senior vice president and category head, Hilton Luxury. “Each has its own story, character and point of view, offering guests a more intimate and unexpected way to experience the places they visit. With The Den Bengaluru, LXR makes its debut in India, bringing this spirit to a city with remarkable creative energy, cultural depth and cosmopolitan pulse. Rooted in Whitefield and connected to the wider rhythm of Bengaluru, the hotel invites guests to linger a little longer, look a little closer and discover something new. It is a fitting addition to a collection created for travelers who know the world well and still want to be surprised.”
Vinesh Gupta, general manager, The Den Bengaluru, LXR Hotels & Resorts, said,“We are proud to partner with Hilton and enter a new chapter with The Den Bengaluru as a part of LXR Hotels & Resorts. The hotel has always shared a close connection with Whitefield and joining LXR Hotels & Resorts allows us to build on that foundation through distinctive experiences and highly personalised service, complemented by the strength and reliability of Hilton Honors. With Hilton’s global expertise and the unique spirit of LXR Hotels & Resorts, we look forward to welcoming guests from Bengaluru and around the world in new and meaningful ways.”
The Pause Program includes arrival rituals, in-room amenities such as a sleep kit and pillow menu and food and beverage options at The Creek.
Whitefield Unscripted includes the Whitefield Verandah Trail, exploring heritage bungalows and local institutions, alongside Whitefield’s Farm Story, where guests can harvest produce at a local farm before dining on a personalised menu created by the hotel’s culinary team.
The Den Bengaluru also participates in the Hilton Honors loyalty programme.
