Hilton has expanded its presence in India with the opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Bengaluru Whitefield, a new hotel development by Kalyani Developers. Nestled in the heart of Bengaluru's bustling Whitefield neighbourhood, known for its IT hubs and connectivity, the 180-room hotel is set to provide guests with easy access to local attractions, including Phoenix Marketcity and VR Bengaluru shopping malls.

The hotel boasts three dining venues catering to a variety of tastes. 1882 presents a fusion of Anglo-Indian, Indian, and southeast Asian cuisine, while Drip serves as a daytime coffee lounge and a casual meeting space. The rooftop lounge bar, on the other hand, offers guests stunning views of the Bengaluru skyline along with signature cocktails. The hotel's meeting and events spaces, including a pillarless Grand Ballroom and flexible meeting rooms, are designed to accommodate a range of functions, all benefiting from ample natural light.
Mohan Raju, Managing Director of Kalyani Developers, highlighted the hotel's dedication to providing exceptional experiences. "The opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Bengaluru Whitefield symbolises our dedication to setting new benchmarks in the hospitality sector," stated Raju.
In line with Hilton's sustainability efforts, DoubleTree by Hilton Bengaluru Whitefield incorporates several eco-friendly practices. The use of glass panels maximises natural light within the building, while electric vehicle charging points encourage sustainable travel choices among guests. Vincent Ong, Vice President, Full Service Brands, Asia Pacific, Hilton, underlined the brand's commitment to comfort and sustainability, stating, "Whether it’s the brand’s renowned warm welcome or familiar foods that evoke comfort, it’s the little things that ultimately make a big difference."
The opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Bengaluru Whitefield not only strengthens Hilton's footprint in India but also reinforces the brand's commitment to providing comfortable, sustainable, and memorable experiences for guests visiting Bengaluru's Whitefield district.
