Hilton has opened its newest property, DoubleTree by Hilton Bengaluru Whitefield, in Bengaluru’s Whitefield neighborhood. Owned and developed by Kalyani Developers, the 180-room hotel is located in the area, which is Bengaluru’s first tech corridor connected to the Namma Metro system. The hotel offers residential comforts and an old-world charm, and is conveniently located within the upscale residential enclave, just a 15-minute drive from nearby shopping malls Phoenix Marketcity and VR Bengaluru.
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 even more guests in India as DoubleTree by Hilton 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. Versatile food and beverage hub and meeting point, Drip, doubles up as a daytime coffee lounge and a casual meeting space in the lobby, while the rooftop lounge bar offers stunning skyline views, signature cocktails and delicious bites.
Guests will also have access to a variety of facilities and services, including a 24-hour fitness centre and rooftop pool, providing a relaxing retreat amidst the city’s buzz. The hotel’s meeting and events spaces include a pillarless Grand Ballroom, which comfortably accommodates 200 guests, and flexible meeting rooms – all of which let in a flood of natural light and can be resized to accommodate varying group sizes.
