BENGALURU, India – Hilton (NYSE: HLT) proudly announces the grand opening of its newest property, DoubleTree by Hilton Bengaluru Whitefield, nestled in the heart of Bengaluru's vibrant landscape. Owned and developed by Kalyani Developers, this stunning hotel marks a significant milestone in Hilton's expansion within the thriving Indian market.
As Bengaluru’s first tech corridor to be connected to the Namma Metro system, the bustling Whitefield neighbourhood is recognised for its excellent connectivity, prominent IT hubs, and residential and commercial development. The 180-room hotel is located within this upscale residential enclave, a mere 15-minute drive to the nearby Phoenix Marketcity and VR Bengaluru shopping malls.
At DoubleTree by Hilton Bengaluru Whitefield, every guest is welcomed with a warm cookie that sets the tone for their stay, embodying the brand’s signature warm, unpretentious hospitality. The hotel surrounds guests with residential comforts, where distinct British Colonial-inspired design and modern European décor come together in a rich tapestry of culture, heritage and a touch of old-world charm, inviting guests to immerse themselves in its historical allure.
“We’re excited to welcome guests to the newly launched DoubleTree by Hilton Bengaluru Whitefield as the hotel marks its debut in one of the region’s most diverse destinations. Our launch in Bengaluru signals our long-term commitment to expanding our brand presence and growing our footprint in the market. Backed by Hilton’s signature hospitality, we look forward to forging meaningful connections with our guests,” said Zubin Saxena, senior vice president and country head, India, Hilton.
Three dining venues cater to various tastes and preferences: 1882, a colonial-inspired all-day dining restaurant blends Anglo-Indian, Indian and southeast Asian dishes into its menu to evoke familiar flavours. Guests can tuck into comfort food including Ghee Podi Idly - steamed rice cakes doused with clarified butter and flavourful spices; Aloo Gobi Adraki, a local curry featuring potatoes and cauliflower; and the ever-popular butter chicken.
