Hilton has introduced its luxury brand, LXR Hotels & Resorts, to India with the opening of The Den Bengaluru in Whitefield. Owned by Dan Hospitality India Pvt. Ltd. and managed by Hilton, the 226-key property marks a strategic addition to the group’s growing luxury footprint in the country.
The opening reflects Hilton’s focus on India's evolving luxury hospitality market, where demand for personalised, experience-led stays continues to shape brand expansion.
Luxury Rooted in Local Experiences
Positioned around the philosophy of Pause in the Pulse, the hotel introduces two signature experiences. The Pause Program integrates restorative rituals throughout the guest journey, while Whitefield Unscripted connects travellers with the neighbourhood’s heritage, culture and local communities through curated experiences.
These include heritage walks exploring Whitefield’s historic bungalows and farm-to-table experiences that bring guests closer to the destination.
The hotel’s 226 rooms and suites combine contemporary design with intuitive technology, catering to business, leisure and extended-stay travellers. Four dining venues anchor its culinary offering, including rooftop restaurant Layla, all-day dining destination The Creek, The Deli and wellness-focused The Cold Press.
Wellness facilities include The Sanctuary spa, a fitness centre and an outdoor pool. The property also features over 21,000 sq. ft. of event space across seven venues, supporting corporate meetings, weddings and social gatherings.
