Hilton has opened The Den Bengaluru, LXR Hotels & Resorts’ first property in India, marking the luxury brand’s entry into one of the country’s most significant markets. The 226-room hotel sits in Whitefield, a neighbourhood blending heritage with innovation and serving as a hub for business and creative work.

The hotel operates under two signature programs designed to define its approach to luxury travel. The Pause Program embeds restorative moments throughout a guest’s stay, from a calm arrival experience through curated in-room amenities and dining options.

Guest rooms, studios and suites pair intuitive technology with restful interiors suited to business travel, leisure visits and extended stays. The hotel operates five dining and social venues. Layla occupies the rooftop and combines Indian and Mediterranean cuisines. The Creek functions as the all-day dining destination with a multi-cuisine menu. The Nest serves as a cocktail lounge and programming space. The Deli specialises in coffee and baked goods, while The Cold Press offers wellness-focused refreshments including cold-pressed juices and smoothies.

Loyalty and Booking

The hotel participates in Hilton Honors, the group’s loyalty program spanning 28 brands. Members who book directly through Hilton channels can earn and redeem points, access member discounts and complimentary standard Wi-Fi, and use digital features via the Hilton Honors mobile app including digital check-in, room selection preferences, and a digital room key.

According to Zubin Saxena, Hilton’s regional head for South Asia, India ranks among the company’s most important growth markets, with Bengaluru’s global connectivity and cultural dynamism creating demand for experience-led luxury stays. Dino Michael, Hilton’s category head for luxury brands, positioned the property as part of LXR’s broader collection of hand-selected hotels in destination locations, each with its own narrative and point of view.
