INDIA | Hilton has announced the opening of Slohh by Roach in Bengaluru, marking the debut of Curio Collection by Hilton and Hilton’s first lifestyle hotel in India.
Located in Whitefield, one of Bengaluru’s key business and technology corridors, the 221-key hotel was developed in partnership with Roach Lifescapes, a Bengaluru-based boutique real estate brand.
Slohh by Roach has introduced a design-forward, locally rooted experience that blends culture, community, and contemporary living. Part of the Curio Collection, it has drawn inspiration from the coffee estates and residential heritage of the Malnad region in the Western Ghats.
The hotel’s colour palette has traced the life cycle of a coffee bean, beginning with soft whites and light browns, deepening into richer chocolate tones, and accented with hints of dusty pinks and rust in spaces that suggest spice and warmth.
Natural materials, vernacular pitched roofs, and intricate carved details come together to create intimate, softly lit spaces that evoke nostalgia and the warmth of being welcomed into a home.
The 221-key hotel unfolds across seven room and suite categories, many with balconies overlooking Varthur lake and the city skyline. Suites, including the expansive Malnad Presidential Suite, offer separate living and dining spaces inspired by Malnad plantation homes.
For weddings and corporate events, the hotel features The Banyan, a pillarless ballroom spanning 5,000 sq. ft. with a capacity of up to 600 guests, supported by a 3,000 sq. ft. pre-function area, multiple meeting rooms, and a boardroom, complemented by a beauty salon and dedicated bridal suite.
Wellness seekers can indulge in a temperature-controlled outdoor pool, a 24-hour fitness centre, a hammam and a full-service spa.
Nana’s, the all-day dining restaurant, has presented a menu inspired by family recipes and techniques passed down through generations, regional flavours, and seasonal cooking traditions from Karnataka and the Malnad belt, complemented by a curated selection of comforting dishes from across India and some global classics.
An Executive Club Lounge, designed to cater to both residential and non-residential guests, has further elevated the hotel’s dining and social experiences.
A strong sense of culture and community runs through the experience through a Potter-in-Residence studio, as well as initiatives like Grandma’s Recipe, which brings personal stories and family traditions into the culinary programme.
Music has also played an integral role in shaping the guest experience at the hotel, with a curated, retro-inspired soundtrack of jazz, rhythm & blues and timeless classics flowing through the hotel’s social spaces to create a warm, tranquil ambience.
Zubin Saxena, senior vice president and regional head, South Asia, Hilton, said that Bengaluru has remained a key market for Hilton in India, shaped by its strong business ecosystem and evolving travel demand.
“The debut of Curio Collection in South Asia, marking our first lifestyle offering in India, is a significant milestone as we expand our portfolio to meet growing demand for distinctive, experience-led hospitality,” said Saxena.
“The opening of this hotel reflects our ambition to bring globally renowned brands to India in ways that feel deeply relevant to the local market, blending character, authenticity, and the exceptional hospitality that guests expect from Hilton."
The hotel is part of Hilton Honours, the award-winning guest loyalty program for Hilton’s 27 distinct hotel brands.
