BENGALURU, India – Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today announced the opening of The Den Bengaluru, LXR Hotels & Resorts, marking the debut of the award-winning luxury brand in India. Owned by Dan Hospitality India Pvt. Ltd. and managed by Hilton, The Den Bengaluru brings LXR Hotels & Resorts’ tailored approach to luxury to Whitefield, where heritage meets innovation, creative expression intersects with a global business hub, and vibrant urban energy coexists with a more relaxed rhythm.

The 226-room hotel opens its doors as an LXR Hotels & Resorts and embraces the brand’s DNA with the launch of two signature programmes that bring its philosophy of personal discovery and sense of place to life. The Pause Program translates The Den’s Pause in the Pulse philosophy into thoughtful rituals woven throughout the guest journey, creating moments to slow down, reset and recharge. Whitefield Unscripted, inspired by LXR Hotels & Resorts’ Pursuit of Adventure, takes guests beyond the hotel to discover or rediscover the people, places and stories that give Whitefield its distinctive character.

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’s guest rooms, studios and suites couple intuitive technology with soothing interiors suited to business travel, leisure and extended stays. Dining spans four venues, including Layla, a rooftop restaurant with Indian and Mediterranean influences; The Creek, the hotel’s all-day dining multi-cuisine destination; The Deli, offering specialty coffee and artisanal pastries; and wellness-focused The Cold Press, a dedicated wellness counter offering cold-pressed juices, smoothies and nourishing refreshments.

At the heart of the hotel's wellness offering is The Sanctuary spa, where treatments are drawn from contemporary wellness practices and traditional healing philosophies. Guests can maintain their routines at The Studio fitness centre or unwind by the outdoor pool. Recreational spaces include The Playhouse, which features digital tabletop games and a pool table, and The Cave, an immersive screening experience designed to encourage informal socialising. For meetings, weddings and celebrations, the hotel offers more than 21,000 square feet of flexible event space across seven venues, ranging from a ballroom and auditorium to meeting rooms and an open-air 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.
